Richard informed me he had problems styling the definition list used in my custom Blogger comments form in combination with Blogger backlinks.
He is using using absolute positioning, a styling method I explained in my post on semantic forms:
form dt { position: absolute; z-index: 2; } form dd { position: relative; padding-left: 100px; }
Absolute positioning may get you in trouble some times. Another way of styling definition list is by floating the definition title in the left margin of the definition data:
form dt { float: left; width: 95px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; } form dd { margin-left: 100px; }
Note: floating may get you in trouble some times as well. Just try which method suites you best.
