How do I force a search form not to appear on a new line

[waterdene]

I am in the throes of moving my site away from tables but I am unable to find any help with my current problem. My header currently has three columns (Left a swf with a width of 225 px)(center a swf with a width of 280 px) these are fine but when I add the last object which is a "freefind" form it takes up a complete new line.
I want these three items to show in a line as my header Left, center and right.
I am obviously missing something any ideas please?

I apologise if this is as I expect a simple question, but being a newbie I have read all that I can, I have tried absolute positioning and I have tried using a list inline but the search script insists on taking its own line

Ok, I was right and it was too simple to merit an answer, but for anyone else trying to do this, this is how I did it:

div.float {
  float: left;
  padding-left: 2em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  }

HTML

<div class="float">" first swf object" </div>
<div class="float">"second swf object"</div>
<div class="float">"form script"</div>
