I've got a strange layout issue with IE 6.0 and a form. When I layout
a form ala Man in Blue:
http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/InForm/margin.htm, I get really
strange box sizing. The red-outline shows that the box for the
<label><input/> is huge. It's much larger than a plain old <label>
element by itself i.e. w/o a nested <input> or <select>.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Here's a snippet of the html:
<fieldset>
<label>Equipment Category
<select name="categoryName" onchange="processCatChange(this)">
<option value="empty" selected="selected">- Any -</option>
<option value="Aerial Lifts">Aerial Lifts </option>
</select>
</label>
...
<label>Manufacturer <input type="text" name="manufacturerName"
value=""></label>
<label>Model<input type="text" name="modelName" value=""></label>
... etc.
</fieldset>
If that is an exact code snippet, your problem may be because you
have not closed the <input> elements. The site you posted uses an
XHTML DOCTYPE and is very particular about closing all of those
elements, e.g.:
<input id="firstName1" name="firstName1" type="text" value="First name" />
Note the trailing " /" before the closing angle-bracket. Try closing
those on your own site and see what happens. A good way to catch
this kind of error is to validate your code before posting. See
<http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CodeValidation> for more on
that subject.
Good luck,
