Ive used the following css code to align my form elements:
form { position:relative; }
form input { position:absolute; left:11em; }
However, the textarea element is not aligned correctly with the rest of the elements. I tried the following, but that didnt work
form input,textarea { position:absolute; left:11em; }
Any way to fix this ?
Thank You.
No-one is going to be able to solve this without seeing the current result; I generally avoid absolute positioning as a rule unless doing something particularly complicated like tooltips, can you not achieve what you want using margins?
It looks like this is a Firefox, em-specific bug. I think it s related to this bug about Firefox textareas and its font: Mozilla 3.0.8 and Chrome height in em bug workaround
Your positioning should work if you add the following code:
form { font: 11px Arial; }
form textarea { font-size: 100%; font-family: inherit; }
Also, another workaround is using pixels instead of em s.
This does not address your question, but why not use "text-align"? Absolute positioning to place form elements sounds a bit odd in my ears.
If you must use absolute positioning in this way, have you considered using margin instead of left? As the others have pointed out, it s difficult to troubleshoot your problem without more information.
