alignment	Can't Post

I have a simple submit form, I am trying to get the textarea and textfields to align to the left of the input fields, but cant get it to work. Help please.This is a little snippet of the input fields:

print $query->start_form,
$query->center($query->img({src=>'http://csunix.okc.cc.ok.us/~raven/banner1.jpg'})),
$query->p,
"Your name......: ", $query->textfield('name'),
$query->p,
"E-mail address: ", $query->textfield('email'),
$query->p,
"City:................: ", $query->textfield('city'),
$query->p,
"Comments: ", $query->br,
$query->textarea(-name=>'comments', -rows=>8, -columns=>40),
$query->p,

I think I've solved this problem before. Try this:

open (DATABASE, "./file.txt");
@lines = <DATABASE>;
close DATABASE;
print qq~<form><TEXTAREA name="text" ROWS=10 COLS=70 wrap="OFF">~;
foreach $line (@lines) {
print qq~$line~;
}
print qq~</TEXTAREA></form>~;

Best regards,

Pasha

HTML problem, put them in a table.

Also, you don't need the image in the form.

print $query->start_html,

$query->center($query->img({src=>'http://csunix.okc.cc.ok.us/~raven/banner1.jpg'})),

$query->start_form(-action=>'/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi', -method=>'post'),
$query->table({-border=>0,-cellspacing=>5},

$query->Tr({-align=>'left',-valign=>'middle'},
$query->td("Your name: "),
$query->td($query->textfield('name')),
),
$query->Tr({-align=>'left',-valign=>'middle'},
$query->td("E-mail address: "),
$query->td($query->textfield('email')),
),
$query->Tr({-align=>'left',-valign=>'middle'},
$query->td( "City: "),
$query->td($query->textfield('city')),
),
$query->Tr({-align=>'left',-valign=>'middle'},
$query->td("Comments: "),
$query->td($query->textarea(-name=>'comments', -rows=>5, -columns=>35)),
),
$query->Tr({-align=>'left',-valign=>'middle'},
$query->td( $query->submit('Submit')),
$query->td($query->reset()),
),

),

$query->end_form,
$query->end_html;

Don't forget, table rows are Tr not tr otherwise you'll get some hard-to-track errors.
