HTML problem

[XCH]

I am making an html document and I have only one problem. I need to make all of the text boxes that I have line up. I need, basically, the html equivalent of a tab in a word processor. I have the following code in my document:

xxx<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2><BR>

xxxxxxxx<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2><BR>

xxxxx<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2><BR>

This looks like this when I view it in Internet Explorer:

xxx [textbox]

xxxxxxxx [textbox]

xxxxx [textbox]

The x's represent the titles of the boxes. I need to have the boxes strait, and I want no replies about other problems with the document.

here you go mate:

___<table width="50%" border="0">

______<tr>

_________<td width="21%">xxx</td>

_________<td width="79%"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2>

______</tr>

______<tr>

_________<td>xxxxxxxx</td>

_________<td><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2></td>

______</tr>

______<tr>

_________<td>xxxxx</td>

_________<td><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="xxxxx" SIZE=2 MAXLENGTH=2></td>

______</tr>

___</table>

Just ask me if you have any more problems :)

[pre]<div style="margin-left: 3px;"><input type="text" name="xx" size="2" maxlength="2" /></div>

<div style="margin-left: 8px;"><input type="text" name="xx" size="2" maxlength="2" /></div>

<div style="margin-left: 5px;"><input type="text" name="xx" size="2" maxlength="2" /></div>[/pre]

That should work, didn't test it though.

I have fixed that problem, but now I have another two problems.

1. I have the following code in the document:

<FORM METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="text/plain" ACTION="mailto:tumtum@optonline.net">

</FORM>

I have, of course, a form between the two ends of the code. This includes all of the text boxes and the submit and reset buttons. When I click the submit button, my email program opens with a blank email, but nothing is sent unless I send the blank email. When I recieve the email it does not have the information from the form. Does anyone know how to fix this?

2. How do I put the HTML into an email so it looks like it is supposed to look? When I sent it to myself it showed the HTML codes. What must I do so it looks right?

1. It should come as an attachment with the file extension '.att'. Also, make sure the submit button is as follows: <input type=submit> :)

Normally you do that by writing a script to format the output. Using Perl, PHP, etc.

I figured out the answer to #1: I have eight year old email software. I emailed it to a different computer and it worked.

I still need to figure out #2, however.

What Gob said, learn Perl or PHP or CGI and you can do it.

You can always ask me if you're stuck with php :)
