Hey,
I want to make a table within the message posting area so that it tells you what the section is on the left and then has that section on the right. For example the left table box would say "Title" and then the right table box next to it will have the title box.
Below is a picture of what i want to achieve:
(Excuse the bad mock up in paint)
Here is my current newpost code:
PHP Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $vbphrase[reply_to_topic]</title>
</head>
<body$onload>
$header
$navbar
$postpreview
<form action="newreply.php?do=postreply&t=$threadid" name="vbform" method="post"<if condition="!is_browser('webtv')"> onsubmit="return vB_Editor['$editorid'].prepare_submit(0, $vboptions[postminchars])"</if>>
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><strong>$vbphrase[thread]</strong>: <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$threadinfo[title]</a></span>
$vbphrase[reply_to_thread]
</td>

Ive tried a few different techniques to try and get this to work but each time it breaks my posting interface so i was hoping someone could help me out with it.
