<TIP TYPE="Liquid Forms" CLASS="No offense, Ryan">

Use the tip above very carefully.  I found it the hard way that IE4/5
behaves very oddly when it encounters style="width:100%".  i found that when
using this on form elements that were in table cells that spanned more than
one column it was fine, but if i tried to also use it on the 2 form elements
that sat in their own non-spanning cell, they suddenly dropped to size=3.
hit refresh and everything was peachy though.

ymmv
