Does nn4.x allow this following piece of code? more specifically should it be showing the checkbox? I was using the <span> to sort of set the inline spacing using position, but when I wrap the checkbox or text box in this I don't get the accompanying input box.

<span class=check1>Head <INPUT type="checkbox" name="EPigHead" value="yes"></span>

just want to make sure I was not missing something obvious, and would be able to blame my problems on nn and not myself for not knowing how to get around my problem.

thanks

Do you have <FORM> tag defined around that? If you don't, you should add it, like this:

<form><span class=check1>Head <input type="checkbox" name="EPigHead" value="yes"></span></form>

If that isn't the answer it may be useful if you posted a link to where you have the code (or give a bigger code snippet).

I have a form tag that encompasses a number of text and checkboxes:

<form action ="SetVar.cfm" target="_parent" method="post" name="Selection">
many checkboxes and text input boxes
</form>

everything looks fine in ie, but nn4.75 doesn't show the input boxes.

I don't have it on a server yet as it is still in the early stages, but here is the gist of the code. I am finding that my position tags are not working as hoped with nn either and may have to find another way to display the input boxes effeciently, but anyhoo......

Apparently Shitscape doesn't like your <SPAN> tags. Put all form elements in a table instead...

NN4 will not let you break forms across absolutely positioned elements. All elements must be inside the same container with the form. You could try using distinct forms for user input and use a form with hidden fields to perform the actual submit.

interesting. I needed to keep away from using tables for position/juxtaposition, and am a bit dissapointed with this. thanks for the info hlaford.
