[thelist] Input Box & WinXP

[Jwp]

Hey the inline style did it, Silly me  what was I thinking.
We are optimizing the site for IE, as all of our customers are corporate and
therefore it is safe to assume that they will be running IE.

Thanks for all your help!!
Sorry to bother you with such a simple problem, Take care, JP
