Making My Fields Horizontal Instead of All Vertical

[groogruxking40]

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

We kind of need your existing HTML to see how the CSS works with it.

[groogruxking40]

ok.
it's here

christiancouriernewspaper . com / blogbase / contactpage . php

let me know

You're already using a table layout. Why not just move the extra items from the first column to the second column?

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

Well, you may want to specify the browser you're viewing it in. IE and FireFox render it very differently. It looks like you have a CSS link in the body under your form instead of in the head. That may be part of the issue.

Also, in blue.css, you have "font-sze" instead of "font-size" on line 159.

Im viewing it in FireFox.
so the CSS link needs to be in the head??

thank you for the help with line 159

[WingedPanther]

CSS links are normally in the head. I'm not clear on what you're seeing that you don't like, so I was kind of guessing at things.
