How to align web items on a row in BW 3.5

Question

Hi All.
We are on BW 3.5. I have 4 drop down item to filter data in the web template. I have placed them next to each other on the WAD template. But when I run the report the drop downs appears one below the other.
I want the drop downs appearing next to one another on the same row but they appear one below the other.
I tried putting a HTML table of 1 row and 4 columns and placing each drop down into one cell but still the drop downs appear one below the other.
Please can you share ideas how to get these drop downs on the same row.
Thanks
Karen

Hello friend,
I just tried placing 4 dropdown boxes in a single row using  a table of 1X4, and it works perfectly....
just remove the one u have now and try again....and please be sure that u are placing one webitem in one cell....
In HTML tab, check if the code looks like the following : all item should be padded between <table></table>
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width="75%" border=0>
