    Hi all,

    I want to put a form on my page but to facilate layout I want to put it into a table. When I have 
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php"> 
<center>UserID:<input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"></center><br />
<center>Password:<input type="password" size="15" maxlength="15" name="mypassword" id="mypassword"></center><br />
<center><label><input name="LoginButton" type="submit" value="Login"></label></center><br />
</form>

    it works perfectly. but when I have
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php"> 
<table border="0" cellspacing="20" cellpadding="0" width="300" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td ><p align="left">   User ID:</td>
    <td width="30">
      <input name="myusername" type="text" id="username" size="60" maxlength="50" ></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><p align="left">Password:</td>
     <td width="30">
     <input name="password" type="text" id="username" size="60" maxlength="15" ></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p align="center"><input class="submitButton" name="Login" type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>

    it doesnt work. Can someone help me out here as to how I can still get it to work?

    What exactly do you mean by "It Doesn't work?"

    Actually looking at it you have id="username" twice and password name field is "password" while on the first form is "mypassword".

    Ditto what louie said - also why are you using <p> inside the <td> tag? That's going to cause all sorts of layout problems for you. Try getting rid of the <p> tags and using the <td> tags own align="" attribute to set the text left of right.

    I've been coding since 1984 and I still make mistakes. I plan to make many more because the fastest way to learn involves a mix of traditional academic learning and 'try it and see'.
    The latter approach is absolutely necessary in web development since standards aren't followed strictly by all browsers, so just keep doing what you're doing, it's all good :)
