The actual issue here is that the size of the Email address and password fields are different in different browsers. Since they are a tad wider in Mozilla or Firebird than they are in IE, they get put on two lines in those browsers instead of the one in IE. This pushes both the "Forgot your password?" text and [Go] button down a bit, pushing them behind the next DIV area. That's not to say invalid HTML is okay. Just that the problem has less to do with invalid HTML and more to do with a lack of testing. If it were up to me, I'd make the two fields one character smaller and they would be displayed side by side in both browsers and this particular problem would be solved. Of course, if it were up to me, it would also have valid HTML, but that's another battle. -- Henry Hartley
