If I don''t use CSS, the text fields only have their labels left
justified with the fields wherever they end up.
This CSS
.household {
position:absolute;
left:1.8in;
}
causes the text fields to be left justified at 1.8", but changes the
field height, making the fields unreadable. I have tried height,
margin, and padding with no luck.. Please help.

Please help.If you install firebug in firefox you can select the field and firebug will show you the style for the object and where it is getting that style from, which may give you a clue. Also whenever I see anything a bit odd like that I check the page html using the w3c html validator and sometimes the fundamental cause is invalid html.

For further questions on this issue, a CSS forum may be more help; this is not really a Rails issue.> > ColinBest, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
