    Pad the button text with spaces and give a size to the text-box. Like this:

    <input name="keyword" class="textbox" value="" size="50" type="text">
    </div></td><td width="48%"><div align="left">
    <input class="formbutton" value="          Enter Zip Code Here             " type="submit">
    </div></td>
    
    Code (markup):

    As a personal favor? Not the way that site is coded. I don't do layout tables, and all that space above the DOCTYPE declaration is throwing IE 6 into Quirks Mode.

    Since you're trying to control an input element, put it on an input selector. Use the cascade to be sure your selectors are pointed to the desired input elements.

    cheers,
