CSS alignment problem

[blelisa]

Once again I am having a problem with alignment in CSS. Go figure! I have a site which has a contact form currently made out of a table. But since tables are now considered quite out of date, I need to trasform the table into CSS. If you look at http://www.hemisphere.net/broadbandcontact.htm you will see the page made in tables.
If you go to http://www.hemisphere.net/contactp.htm you will see I cannot get my right column to line up right against my left column. I tried using float:left on my left column and float: right; on my right column but it made my columns indent about half an inch to the right. Please help me, I am loosing my mind here! :p
Thanks,
Lisa

'tables are considered out of date'

blah.

I take it you do not agree I try to move all my tables to css for SEO. I think though it is personal preference.

[DaveyBoy]

haha nah i dont disagree, but I don't get why people are all suddenly worried about it. End of the day, tables work.

[blelisa]

Only one reson why I care....SEO!! if it wasn't for that I wouldnt worry about it. It sure does tend to be a pain in the neck sometimes!

[DaveyBoy]

does it really make that much difference?

[blelisa]

Yup, I wouldn't have thought so until I saw it for myself with a number of my own sites! I makes a huge difference. To see it in action take a tabled site and view it in a text only browser and than convert it to css and you will see what the difference is! and by viewing in the text only browser you will be seeing virtually what the spiders are seeing!. I think it is worth the hassle

[DaveyBoy]

good then!

Huh.. my site is all tables with no trouble with SEO. #1 for many competitive terms. Not that I disagree with converting pages to css layout - just that I don't consider tables to be bad for SEO.

On the second element, try adding clear: left; Maybe that'll do it.
