Good morning

On this particular page in IE only, the #footer seems to be taking its 
width from the form. I have cleared everything I can think  of  but 
cannot find the problem.


Hi Lyn

You have a typo in your clearfooter div:

  xdiv id=clearfooter/div

See if fixing that helps.

Hi Scott

Thanks - not exactly a typo - I use that method if I want to temporarily 
take something out of the CSS and might want to put it back later.
Anyway, I solved the main problem by removing the footer from #container 
so now it just sits under all the content.  IE7 is happy with that. 
However IE6 is still misbehaving. I tried a * hack but it  still is not 
showing the footer correctly.

Hi,

Another thing I find odd is that you are using an empty tag for your form
instead of wrapping the form fields with a start and end tag. Instead of:

form method=post action=/cgi-bin/formmail/FormMail.pl /

Maybe try:

form method=post action=/cgi-bin/formmail/FormMail.pl 
fieldset 
...
/fieldset
/form

Please note I left the DOCTYPE and other W3C standard structural elements
out of my description for brevity.

Regards,
Kepler

Well, that is amazing!   It fixed the problem in IE6.  This is the first 
site with this hosting company and that is how they gave me the example 
for the Form. I used to do  it

form .../form but changed it on this site.

Thank you, Keppler
