I'm not sure if this is a Perl question or a HTML one. I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place because I saw a vague reference in the perldoc that might have had something to do with it. (Can't find it now though - 2 minutes later.)
I've had to format some buttons on a page to each be in their own form to keep IE happy. The problem is that somehow I've got a carriage return in after each form. Instead of a tidy set of buttons at the top of the page I get a vertical list of them.
The code for the buttons is:
# Set Up Buttons    
            print "<div align='center'>";        
            my $i = 0; 
            while (@record[$i]){
        print "<form action='/cgi-bin/subcatredir.cgi' method='get'>";
+        
                    print "<button type='submit' name='butCat' class='
+sub' value='@recordnum[$i]'><b>@record[$i]</b></button>";            
+     
        print "</form>&nbsp;";
            $i=$i+1;    
            }    
            print "<input type='text' name='txtTyp' size='1' class='hi
+dden'  value='bus'/>";                
            print "</div>";

@record and @recordnum were populated by a database query earlier in the script.
The page is at www.martoncentral.co.nz/buslst.html and it is the second row/column of buttons involved.
I tried putting the buttons in a table but ended up with a row that cut clean across the right hand column. I'm lost. Any ideas what I've done wrong here?
Thanks.
