 Hi,

 I created a simple form with the labels with fixed width:
 form label.fixedwidth {
 clear: both
 display: block;
 width: 140px;
 float: left;
 }

 it shows ok in Safari and PC/IE but on Linux it's a nightmare, any
 idease?

You don't give us a lot to go on there: by Linux do you mean
Mozilla, Opera or Konqueror?
But having done CSS form layouts before, I'm guessing that a a
nightmare means a column of labels which is either taller or shorter
than the adjacent column of form controls, so nothing aligns.
Try containing each label/input pair in a div or p element any
apply the clear to that rather than the label.

thanks Richard,

I'm testing the site through browsershots.org on many different Linux  
browsers (there are so many!).
It's a game of float, clear and using different div's, tricky sometimes.

Let's hope one day all browsers will interpret css the same (good) way.

bye

Henk
