I have added

 <div align="left">

It doesn't change anything.
:
I also added this snippet that I found online:

<div style="margin: -530px auto 0pt; padding: 10px; width: 477px; height: 235px; position: relative; left:/>

Nothing seems to move this form to the left or right. I can move it up and down.

First, I'd recommend that you stay away from using deprecated elements and attributes such as <center> and align. You should use CSS instead.

Anyway, a few minor changes as below should produce the results you are looking for.

First, remove the background image from the body element. Add in a new div element with an id of "wrapper". Use this element for the background image as well as for centering content on the screen... that's about it...

12580f93776daf3f75c80e2a1667fe63

Add to your <style> element...

#wrapper { width:1380px;margin:0 auto;background: url(http://dsninformation.com/images/moneygirl2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat}

Remove existing style from body... body{ }

Updated HTML body element...

<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 // your javascript code here is fine.. removed just for test..
</script>

<div id="wrapper">
 <table style="width: 1366px; height: 635px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" id="Table_01" border="0">
  <tbody>
   <tr>
    <td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">
      <div style="text-align: left;"></div>
       <p style="text-align: left;" id="heading">&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Arial Black;"><br></span>
       <span style="color: rgb(255, 185, 5); font-family: Arial Black;"></span></p>
       <p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<br></p>
    </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <td>
     <table style="width: 544px; height: 50px;">
      <tbody>
       <tr>
        <td style="width: 544px; height: 50px; text-align: left;">&nbsp;</td>
       </tr>
      </tbody>
     </table>
    <p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
   </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>
    <div>
     <form style='margin:15px auto; width:300px;' id="mainForm" name="frmSignUp" method="post">
      <input type='hidden' id='affiliateUsername' name='affiliateUsername' value='bryong' />
      <input type='hidden' id='campaign' name='campaign' value='23Ph4R' />
      <input type='text' id='mainFormName' name='name' value='' placeholder='Your name..' />
      <input type='text' id='mainFormEmail' name='email' value='' placeholder='Your email..'  />
      <br>
      <input class='shake button green' type='submit' id='mainFormSubmitButton' style='margin-top:10px;' name='submit' value='Reserve My Spot' />
      <br>
     </form><br>
    </div>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>
</div>
</body>

I dont recommend the use of a table in the manner that you are using it. Tables are generally used to display tabular data. You may consider redesigning this using div elements instead.

If you do leave the table as is, I am confident that there are other minor changes that can be made to reduce the amount of code, inline styling/properties that you are using above. I dont have the time right now to rewrite your table, but you may want to look into it if you have the time.

Thank You Jorge, I got it working. I will work on the tables and use css instead. I am not the greatest with css so it will take some time and effort.

Thanks again
