Question

How can I add text and an input textbox in the same line?

I’m using WordPress, and I am adding that kind of things to a page, but the format seems to be different and the elements appears in different lines.

I’m using regular code like this:

<form width="300px">
<a>First name:</a> <input type="text" name="firstname" /><BR />
<a>Last name:</a> <input type="text" name="lastname" />
</form> 

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>row 1, <input type="text" name="firstname" /></td>
<td>row 1, <input type="text" name="firstname" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, <input type="text" name="firstname" /></td>
<td>row 2, <input type="text" name="firstname" /></td>
</tr>

Answer 1

You either need to span your td across both columns

<tr>
    <td colspan="2"> row 1, <input type="text" name="firstname" /></td>
</tr>

or, you’re table is too narrow, here is how to set your table to 500 pixels wide.

<table width="500px">

you can then change the widths of your table rows if you are having an issue with a column being too narrow.

<td width="80%"> </td>
