I cannot see to be able to line-up the form-field boxes

the NAME, EMAIL and FAX input boxes are all equal in their
apparent spacing from the edge of the left cell border , and in the code
there is a "&nbsp" in each...... when I try and remove this "&nbsp"
Front Page just puts it back in..

the ADDRESS field has no "&nbsp" but when put one in it
now appears like the MESSAGE field -- too far away


** just want the field input boxes to line-up nicely on the left -- all the
same

Try removing the font tags from around the field names along with the "&nbsp".

font tags removed - but FP always re-inserts the nbsp tag
( maybe something to do with the form bot ?? )

in any case -- same "poor" alignment
 
It's a bug in FP that adds extra   before the webbot tag whenever you use form field validation
- delete them in code view and save the page there

You have an extra <p> tag (delete the <p>&nbsp;) in

<tr>
<td width="74" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" bordercolor="#009999" align="left">
<font color="#140F10" size="2" face="Arial"><b>Address </b></font>
<p>&nbsp;</td>
<td width="328" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" bordercolor="#009999" align="left">
<textarea rows="3" name="f_address" cols="32"></textarea></td>
</tr>

PS

You have a stray font tag between table rows you need to delete

<tr>
<td width="408" colspan="2" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0">
<font color="#140F10" face="Arial" size="2"><b>For comments, questions or suggestions<br>
Contact us using the Form below&nbsp;</b></font></td>
</tr>

</font>
<font face="Franklin Gothic Medium" size="4" color="#FFFFFF">

Use a table within the <Form> and </form> tags. In design view you can see
the outline of the form element; so make a table *inside* this, ie. two
columns, and as many rows as you have fields. This will line it up nicer
than using the space bar, which is not a very good method of doing this.
