    Hello again...I'm having trouble with getting a div to float right. basically i have a container div with 5 other divs inside of it that are floating (simulating a table) and in the 4th floater i have a <select> form tag, next to it on the right is supposed to be a save button (the 5th div). when the <select> tage wasn't there the "save button div" was floating fine, but now it's not. now it jsut drops down another row. there are no tables in the code.

    any one have any ideas?

    i know it's not the container div settings because there are other container divs inside the "MASTER div" that are wider and they work fine (without the <select> of course).

    any help is appreciated

    Hi!

    Not enough info. You need to post URL where we can see it.

    Best, DS

    Dmitry is correct. It's very hard to debug a problem without being able to see any code.

    I'm going to try a wild guess anyway...

    Style your select element with "display: block;" in your CSS file. See if that does anything...

    Could have something to do with not removing default padding and margin on form elements... could be an issue with IE interpreting widths... could be a lot of things

    If none of our guesses are correct, show us a sample page and we'll help you out

    thanks for your help guys...i actually went the old fashioned way and beat my brain against the code for another hour to figure it out. the problem was that i had placed the <form> tags outside of the <div> tags in a way that the browser didn't like. as soon as i placed them right inside the container1 divs it everything snapped back into place. dumb mistake...but i won't make it again!
