Making My Fields Horizontal Instead of All Vertical

[groogruxking40]

see here: http://www.christiancouriernewspaper...ontactpage.php

What I want is for 7 fields (Name-State) on the Left just how they are
Then I want the remaining fields (Country- the spam question) on the right

I would like to have it so it all fits on one page without having to scroll

any ideas/suggestions?

the .css file is below

thanks ahead of time!!!

well, without getting to into CSS. why not just make a table with two td's?

<table>
<tr>
<td> everything you want on the left</td>
<td> everything you want on the right</td>
</tr>
</table>

I mean it's not fancy css, but it will still give you the result you are looking for.

other than that, make a div that has a left margin of 50% or however many pixels you want it over. then place the form items into that div.

ok-
can you copy/paste exactly what to do and where to put it in my stylesheet?

thanks for your quick reply

seems like this is copywright protected.

OK-
I got it all figured out how I want, now I need to know how to remove those goofy looking fieldset outlines under the SPAM question and the SUBMIT button...

any ideas?

thanks for all the help people
