Hi Michael, Your examples used fixed width labels. If I increase the size of one of the label strings it causes all sorts of wierd things to happen with other elements (this occured with all of the fields in your original examples - the page looked like a ransom note). If I add white-space: nowrap the text just runs under the next "column". See: http://www.ioplex.com/~miallen/DefinedStyles2.htm It seems if I want a form to be displayed as a table I should just use a table. Thanks for sharing your view of the problem though, it was very informative.
