I have been searching for days and just cant figure this out. Hope someone can help. I am fairly new to html and have been working on an application form. I finally have the form working, However - the submit button is towards to top and any attempt to move it renders the button non functioning.

 

I know my code is messy - I'll clean that up once I know what I need to do can even be done. Thanks to anyone who can help!

 

Here is my HTML"

So you have used absolute positioning in order to avoid the use of float?

 

If you are going to use absolute positioning for these other #layer1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 blocks then you might as well create one more and put the submit button in it. Then you can put the submit button wherever you want it.

 

Get rid of this illegal mess...

<tr><td>  <input type=submit name="send" value="Submit" input align="bottom" style="margin-left:550px"> </td></tr> 

...and replace it with...

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 1300px; width:100%;text-align:center;"><hr class="auto-style1" style="height: 4px" /><input type="submit" name="send" value="Submit"/><hr class="auto-style1" style="height: 4px" /></div>
