Thanks for you reply Mike. I noticed the new Questions section on the CakePHP website, so I attempted to register to use it. However, I have never received the confirmation email. I have verified that the email address is correct. It's the same email address as this one. Since I cannot complete registration, I cannot participate at all. Is there anything you can do to assist me to communicate with the moderators? I would appreciate it very much.

Basically, my problem with the css is that my classes are being ignored. I've added the following class to the cake.generic.css file and verified with firebug that it's indeed being included, but it's not working. I'm by no means a design expert, so I'm certain there's something I'm missing. Your assistance will be very much appreciated.

.short200 { width: 200px; margin-right: 10px;}

Can you post some css? I suggest looking at your page using firebug and see if you have any other classes overriding your short200 class. Also spans default to display:inline so this maybe why yours isn't behaving properly

I'm very new to CakePHP... this is my first CakePHP program outside of
the tutorials. I'm having a problem using CSS to format a input
fields. For example:

echo $form->input('furnace_name', array('between' => '<span
class="short200">', 'label' => array('text' => 'Furnace Name:'), 'div'
=> false, 'after' => '</span>'));

creates the proper HTML, but the <span class="short200"> doesn't have
any affect. I used the included CSS file from CakePHP, removed all the
"input" class tags and added the "short200" tag, but nothing seems to
work. I did notice the HTML includes an id=furnacename, in this case,
and if I add an id of furnacename to the CSS file, it works. Is there
a way to get the <span class="short200" to work?

Thanks for being patient with such a basic question.
