thanks guys :)
I actually cheated and just took it out and put it elsewhere...

I couldnt take the Block display off because then it screws up form.
good catch though Joshua :)

Ahh, beautiful. This site serves a dual purpose!

To Joe Taylor's earlier remark that "I would be concerned about a bug
only showing up in Firefox, I believe that hiding something from
Firefox is not the way to go, but rather, make it right in Firefox and
then worry about the others." -- observe this site. Clearly, Firefox
is not infallible -- or, in the case that its rendering here falls
within recommendations, it is at very least illogical and
counter-intuitive. I note that Opera and Konqueror (Safari-ish) render
this page quite sensibly, properly hiding the element. Of course, we
don't need to revert to hacks to resolve this, but your (seemingly)
blind faith in Firefox's correctness is discomforting.

Dave, Firefox is rendering the border you've defined on the input
selector. Use inline CSS of border:0; or give it a class/ID (as you
have the other form elements) and add a rule to your stylesheet to
stop this from appearing.

HTH,
Josh
