Well, the solution was to hack together a separate page, using table based layout. It was fast and it worked for today's deployment. The main problem stems from the modular design of the forms... There was a server-side include for the login form,and another server-side include for the membership form. Both shared the same CSS. They were included one after another, which meant that I couldn't just stick the login form inside the div for the membership form, as someone else suggested. I had to deliver... So I did. Table based layout allowed me to deliver and make client happy. I am not happy however, because I still have a fundamental misunderstanding of how CSS can make my life better when I couldn't accomplish what I needed to, efficiently. As I am sure the elites here will point out, it's certainly all my fault. In the client's defense, the request sat in my inbox for two days, while I had to put out other fires. But seriously, clients should not be told they have to wait for days, for a relatively minor layout change on ONE page. With tables it was easy, with CSS it would have been hard. And since I am still new at CSS, I don't know how I could have anticipated this type of change and completed it in an efficient way anyway. It's a whole other language, and I'm failing miserably at it because I wear so many hats, I don't have time to become an expert. So yeah, I reverted to tables. I'm so tired of fighting with CSS, browser differences, and a much lower productivity rate than I used to have, that at this point I'm starting not to care. I thought I had planned out the css on this site well enough to be able to institute changes fairly easily, and I was horribly wrong. CSS is killing my business... The smaller the shop, the more it's about "DELIVER". I had to deliver...and for the other sites I'm building, the situation is no different. I would love to do the csszengarden thing, but I also need to feed my family. Sorry for the rant... I'm tired and disillusioned. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
