    You are aware that you can have a CLASS and ID on the FORM element itself, right? Lose the extranneous/useless "div class="search" element you have inside the form, and do something like

    If you add horizontal margins then you will need to add display:inline; because you will encounter the double margin bug in MSIE6.

    For the submit input, add an ID (<input id="search-submit") and do something like

    And you probably already know how to do this, but to add the 2 or whatever # pixel border to your first input..

    Any ideas about the lower form about the newsletter?

    Are you using a universal reset? *{margin:0;padding:0;} at the top of stylesheet? This will make things more consistent so IE won't apply X value and FF/Opera/ETC won't apply Y value to the same element.

    Yes.

    Add the universal reset to the top of your stylesheet

    *{ margin:0; padding:0; }

    What?!
    I have. You can't just paste what you say at the top. It has to be in selector. I have put it in the body element!

    Edit:
    I just did paste what you said, and it made no difference at all because I have already done it!

    I meant literally paste *{margin:0;padding:0;}

    * itself is the selector. NOT THE BODY ELEMENT. It targets ALL elements.

    In Firefox it probably did jack shit because Firefox probably didn't have default margin/padding for whatever fucking element caused the spacing in IE6. What I'm trying to fucking say is that because of the reset, your FF and IE spacing at the form on the bottom right look more consistent. Now try adding a margin-top and they will have almost exactly the same amount of spacing.
