ACNF is working great now that I learned a bit more about configuring Drupal, themes, etc. Now I have a minor layout/format question - and sorry for the lack of correct jargon. My page and everywhere else I see ACNF used has the three parts to it - the Finder Form Label, the Finder Form, and the Finder Form Button, stacked vertically:

Finder Form Label
Finder Form
Finder Form Button

I'd love to have them left to right in a row so I can have them across the top of the page in the header:

Finder Form Label Finder Form Finder Form Button

Can folks see what I’m asking? Is there something I don’t see that lets me configure this? Or is it dependent on other things in my theme I need to configure? Or tweak some code?

I would use CSS to solve this. On each of those elements put float: left;, (or possibly on their containing divs if they have them). That will get you almost there.

I guess a lot of modules normally let you configure this sort of thing in a gui, so I'll eventually put this issue as a task to make that configurable.

Thanks for the input - I'm fairly confident I could play around with your suggestion and make it work, but here's another complete newbie question: in what file would I find the elements to add the float: left; code to? I've spent about two hours playing with Firebug and can't figure it out.

Well they probably haven't been typed in anywhere yet. You will have to put in the selectors yourself. Just the main css stylesheet in your theme would be fine.

Danielb,
Thanks for your suggestions - I know you closed this Issue out, but I wanted to post a follow-up and so I changed the status to "postponed". I read about "selectors" a bit and was pretty sure I knew where in the stylesheet to put them in, but the allignment/arrangement/whatever of other elements on my pages started changing along with the three parts of ANF, so I calmly un-did what I had changed (I keep notes on everything like this I try), and walked away from this issue and solved a few other perplexing Drupal things on my web site.
I think ACF is a great Drupal module, so I'll just check back every so often until this functionality - aligning the three parts horizontally - has been added. Should I make this a formal "feature request" - I think that's an option I saw somewhere.
Again, thanks for writing ACF!

- bhuddle

I'm sorry but until I see this in webform or something, I don't think I will attempt this myself.
You can theme the form yourself and that seems to be that way it's done.
