I'm sorry, I should have said that I hadn't got round to testing in Firefox yet. I only tested in IE7 for now. I tend to try to get it right in one browser first, then tweak it later for the others and yes, the float:left *does* make a difference in other browsers.
Thanks for the 'fix'. It certainly makes it all stand to attention and salute. :-) You're right about the <h3>s, they don't work properly. This appears to be because the form is laid out in a strange fashion and try as I may, I can't make anything stay inline after the form input fields. I have come up with a really foul method of twin negative margins that will make the <h3>s do what I want, but I'm far from happy about the method. It's just plain wrong, and I'm not proud of it as a fix.

Those fields just stay stuck together and won't align. It makes a difference in Firefox. You were checking with IE, I was checking your page in FF... This is your page with the fix for IE (keep using float for other browsers): http://tjkdesign.com/test/alan.asp As a side note, I'm not sure about your use of h3s in there (Maximum x characters) and you'll have to take care of these as they do not follow floats in IE. -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
