I already had width:100%. Overflow in IE expands the text box when it fills
up, Firefox doesn't do anything. It surprised me though, maybe there's some
application to that concept.

I'm not sure expanding the textbox is a good idea in this case, I'd like to
keep the layout but I'd like the inputs to be bigger if the page becomes
wider, but still have it constrained to the columns. So if the user had only
800x600, it would have a certain amount of typing space, and if the user had
1600x1200, they'd still have 2-columns, but it will flow to the edge of the
page, and not get bunched up along one side.

Thanks
