I have a form I’m working on and I’m trying to align all my fields to make it look presentable and the page goes crazy when I link a css page to it. I don’t understand why my textareas aren’t floating to the right.

    I just tried out your code and if by “goes crazy” you means your textareas float to the right and stack against each other then this is expected.

    Have you considered just using a simple table to layout your form like so?

    <table>
    <tr>
        <td><label for="myInput">My input: </label></td>
        <td><input type="text" name="myInput" id="myInput" /></td>
    </tr>
</table>
