inserted form causes line break - RunUO

Malaperth · 02-10-2007, 06:34 PM

Can anyone tell my why this code

RunUO Community Pastebin 2.50

produces 2 lines? I've tried every attribute I can think of and no matter what, the second image is forced to the next line (or wrapped at the very least) which is unacceptable in this instance.

mordero · 02-12-2007, 02:26 PM

the form ending tag appears to be forcing a new line try moving the picture that is supposed to be on the right hand side inside of the <form></form>. It should go after the submit button before the </form>.

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 02:41 PM

Well, yes, but, unfortunately, all the code (including the form tags) are dynaically inserted at runtime, so if possible, attributes to control the size of the form area are needed. Otherwise, I need to find another way to add the form.

mordero · 02-12-2007, 04:32 PM

So, the page is just a template (which includes the picture tags) and the form is inserted into this template?

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 04:33 PM

Well, it is an entire page and the code (including the form tags themselves) within the form tags is inserted at runtime between the two images (they are boders).

mordero · 02-12-2007, 04:39 PM

hmmmm well, you could always use tables...

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 04:41 PM

Yup, I could, but rather than resort to mix and match, I was hoping to learn how to do this "right"

mordero · 02-12-2007, 05:11 PM

this is why I hate actual web design lol,

try this

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="XHTML namespace">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
 <div>
  <span>
   <img src="images/leftside.gif" align="left" />  
  </span>
  <span>
   <span>
    <form action="http://localhost:1980/sort" method="get" name="form1" id="form1" style="display:inline">
     <select name="sortby">
      <option value="default">Default</option>
      <option value="Rank">Rank</option>
      <option value="CurOnline">Online Count</option>
      <option value="MaxOnline">Online Peak</option>
      <option value="AvgOnline">Online Avg</option>
      <option value="Votes">Votes</option>
      <option value="TotalVotes">Total Votes</option>
      <option value="Name">Name</option>
      <option value="Description">Description</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" value="Sort" />
      </form>
   </span>
  </span>
  <span>
   <img src="/images/rightside.gif" />
  </span>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

and actually you could get rid of some of those spans as well...

edit: not sure why it is adding the runuo stuff before the image src...

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 05:33 PM

Still has a forced wrap.

mordero · 02-12-2007, 05:36 PM

what browser are you using?

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 05:44 PM

IE6. I just wish I could remember what I did to fix this about 6 years ago as I seem to remember having a similar problem with inserted forms.

mordero · 02-12-2007, 05:46 PM

Oh hmmm crap, well it works for Firefox and IE7, ill see what else I can do to get it to work...

Malaperth · 02-12-2007, 05:51 PM

Well, if I remember correctly, Microsoft claims to be W3C compliant, but I sure never have been able to get supposedly 'safe' and 'compliant' code to work in most all browsers...

mordero · 02-12-2007, 05:56 PM

well IE6 wasnt very compliant at all, which is why it may not show it correctly, right now im trying to find a website that will show me what a web page looks like on different browsers...

mordero · 02-13-2007, 02:09 PM

Hmm im not sure why that didnt work for you... if you look at these it should have worked

Hmmm. And those screenshots are using the exact code I posted in pastebin? If so, I wonder if I have some inbetween version of IE (it's 6.02 with a bunch more after that).

mordero · 02-13-2007, 02:23 PM

no thats the code I just posted.

mordero · 02-13-2007, 02:24 PM

you can go to Untitled Document to see it

Malaperth · 02-13-2007, 02:54 PM

AHA!!! That may be exactly what I was looking for, mordero!!!

Code:

style="display:inline"

*** runs off to try it ***

[EDIT]

Damn... It must have to do with this damn mongrel IE version I'm using for some reason, as it seems not to work...

[EDIT AGAIN]

Wow, that is really weird... guess it was either a complete mental breakdown on my part or a cache issue... Pasted what you had, and it now works... Thanks LOADS, mordero!!!

mordero · 02-13-2007, 03:01 PM

damnit, lol, a rogue version of IE that refuses to cooperate

Malaperth · 02-13-2007, 04:13 PM

I think it's a rogue mind that refuses to cooperate...

mordero · 02-13-2007, 04:22 PM

lol oh you edited it

im glad i could help
