Thanks Paul.

After I left work yesterday (actually, late at night when my brain processes
stuff before bed), I realized what I was doing wrong. I have to remember the
box model! I was applying one style to both the <form> and the <input> tags
when I really needed to make two styles, one for each tag.

I now got it working the way I need.

Much appreciated.
Ken
