Building some complicated forms and am having trouble with IE vs. NN. Have to design for 4.0 and above browsers. In the past I just played with my text layout in the table until it looked good in both IE and NN but these forms are too complex. I use the invisible gif trick to shim the field widths but still having problems. Any tricks you guys use to layout forms? I am trying to avoid building separate IE and NN sites.

Is it possible to put multiple tables in a single form without giving an Oracle backend too much heartburn?

Thanks very much in advance

Hello BT!

You may use as many tables inside FORM as you need. You may also use as many FORMs on a single page as you need. You may NOT only use one FORM inside another FORM.

To give you some advices/suggestions would be possible if you post URL to see what your current layout is. Good Luck! :-)
 
Thanks Eugene - don't have anything from this site on-line yet. I guess I'll use seperate layouts for NN and IE. Does CSS help in this area (form layout)?

Thanks again

BT
