Thanks! I will take a look at it.

Yea, that is what I don't see as "user friendly" when it comes to div. I 
have no idea where on the page these forms may end up, so I can't specifiy 
pixels or such. Maybe that article reveals more, but I really just want it 
to attach itself to what there is above on the same page. I want to 
position the buttons relative to each other, not relative to the page itself.

I did look briefly at divs some time ago and found it to be useful when one 
wants to have centered and right justified text on the same row. Can't do 
that any other way.

Maybe it is just one of these things where I need to push myself over the 
cliff. I did that with CSS and it is less scary now, but still IMHO more 
work than inline formatting.
