Add New Record -- Display Fields Side-by-Side

Add New Record -- Display Fields Side-by-Side

Can I create an HTML view to allow the user to input data with the fields side-by-side... rather than the traditional two column presentation?  I confused if HTML is only allowed when viewing data... or if it can be used to create a user input screen.

Can you show me a sample app on how to make an user input (add-new) screen with three input fields side-by-side?
