Newbie needs help with align right (form)

I have inserted a form into a website I'm building. I have aligned it to the right : <TABLE ALIGN="right" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="1">

Now, how can I make it so that the form isn't directly up against the right hand side. In other words, could I use padding, and if so how would I do it? I would like the form to stay roughly about an inch from the right hand side of the screen. Thanks!

 

you can add right-padding to your <td> that contains the form

so for example..

<TABLE ALIGN="right" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="1">
<tr>
<td style="padding-right:10px"><form ...></form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

HTML:

would add 10 pixels space between the form and the td

 

I would recommend doing this in CSS instead of in the table. This way you can reference items later and have multiple tables and forms using it throughout the site.

 table
 { float:right; }

 form
 { padding-right:10px; }

Code (markup):

 

if you float the table i believe it would be better to put a margin-right and not a padding..

 

A margin there will double with float in explorer..

 

not if you put display:inline in the rule as well

 

This discussion ignores the basic question: Why are tables being used for this, in the first place?

cheers,
