Form in div not clickable. Options

[Pieman]

I finished the search script I made for my blog. It works fine, but on my site (Pieman's blog) The search form isn't clickable in firefox.

This is the piece of code for the searchform.

CODE

  <div align="right" style="left:72px; position:relative;">
<div class="searchtop"></div>
<div class="searchbody" style="position:relative;">
<div class="alttext" style="text-align:left; margin-right:92px; position:relative;">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<font size="-3"><br/></font>
<form action="search.php" method="get" style="position:relative;">
<input type="text" name="search" style="position:relative;"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="search" style="position:relative;"/>
<br/>
Search in:
<br/>
Subject<input type="radio" name="searchin" value="subject'" checked="checked" style="position:relative;"/>
Message<input type="radio" name="searchin" value="message'" style="position:relative;"/>
Both<input type="radio" name="searchin" value="both'" style="position:relative;"/>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<div class="searchbottom"></div>
</div>

As you can see, I tried to just add position;relative everywhere in the hope to fix it. Obviously, it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Why should "position: relative" have any particular effect? It's probably a bad idea to mix up html positioning like align=left with _any_ css positioning; what on earth is

align="right" style="left:72px; position:relative;"

even supposed to mean?


Why are you using xhtml syntax? It has no function for non-philosophers, except causing unexpected problems? (Are you using it consistently, etc...?)

It's not much good posting a fragment like this - you need to demonstrate that you have a (public) page that exhibits the problem.

Yeah, I still need to clean my code. I also found out what the problem is. There is a div "over" the search div.
