Hello, I was wondering how I can put a poll beside another existing poll instead of at the bottom of it. For example in my poll I put <div align="left> and in my other poll I put <div align="center">, but it is at tbe bottom center. Please message me back ASAP. THANKS!!:D

you will have to position both div elements at certain places on the page using css postion:absolute property

You may want to try something like this:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 250px;">
<!-- Your First Poll Here -->
</div>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 250px; top: 0px; width: 250px;">
<!-- Your Second Poll Here -->
</div>

This should work too.

<div style="float:left; width: 250px;">
<!-- Your First Poll Here -->
</div>

<div>
<!-- Your Second Poll Here -->
</div>

Nope... I put
<center><font face="verdana, sans serif" size="1">

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 250px;">
<----MY POLL'S LINK---->
</div>

<div style="position: absolute; left: 250px; top: 0px; width: 250px;">
<----MY POLL'S LINK---->
</div>


Also I tried the other one with Float, but it didn't work either.. Whats the problem?

Well actually the Float script worked. But my second poll seems to be messed up somehow.. I actually wanted the polls to be a little closer, but that's ok.. At least it worked..

Specify a lower value then 250px for the float then...

No, you must always provide a specific width with a floated object (unless it got a "built in width" like eg an image).

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#floats
second paragraph.

Different browsers also behave quite differently when the required width is missing, so it will likely break your webpage to leave it unspecified.
