    Noone tried this in IE? I tried IE6 and IE7 and they both have the problem.

    Anyway, the issue is the table cell containing the form elements has a width of 818px, wider than the page layout.

    BTW: You should have a page width of 770-780px, not 800px as it seems you are trying to cater for users with 800x600 screen resolution but some of the 800px screen width is taken by browser window border and scrollbars.

    in IE they are all moved over too much, but they are still in-border. Also, you spelled fields wrong on your site.

    Considering he uses the term "boxes" for form fields and the fact that there is an obvious issue in the layout, you assume that "out of the border" is that issue (where "border" is the "border" of the main container).

    well, I don't really know what you just said, but for Nick, I think his problem is that he has "<td align="right">" after the following line

    <form action="servicemailer.asp" name="svsmailer" method="post" target="_self">

    Dude, try making it align="center"

    It is because in IE it is aligned a bit further to the right than in FireFox. If it were aligned the same in both browsers there would be no problem. PM me if you can't figure it out.

    Your code is all messed up. You have 3 opening <head> tags with a <body> tag in the middle of them. Another opening <body> tag. More head and body tags at the bottom of the page. They are all over the place. Start with fixing that crap before worrying about your form alignment.

    <tr>
    <td align="right" valign="top" width="407">
    <p class="txBodyGrey">Problem:</td>
    <td colspan="3">
    <textarea name="Problem" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
    </td>
    </tr>

    50 Make this number less.
