Getting search, select and submit buttons on the same line

I can't quite figure out how to get them all to line up. Does anybody know a good way to do this? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here's a link to my code.

You probably want to use inline-block for that.

Thanks guys, I tried absolute but it didn't work with my container so i changed it to static and floated them over. I'll give inline-block a try though to see which works better.

position: absolute; the top:, right:, left;, or bottom: px; should align it. inspect page to dee where your invisible borders are. add a border to each element to physically see what space each element takes up.

Position absolute, corrupts (the layout/cascade) absolutely by making an element out of normal document flow and should be used with caution. Positioning absolute relative to a parent however can be pretty useful sometimes.
