OK, style sheet gurus.  I have a question for you.  If the lines following
this paragraph are included in a style sheet within a web page (<style
type="text/css">), it causes the width of any text fields within a form to
be REALLY excessive, so much so that you cannot build a form with consistent
layouts when veiwed in NN vs IE.  After looking for hours and hours over
several different days, I FINALLY figured out what was causing it.  My
question is this: WHY does this occur?  The style sheet attributes should
only affect the font sizes, and should not have anything to do whatsoever
with form field lengths.

table {  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
10pt; color: #000000}
td {  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
10pt; color: #000000}

Any ideas on this one???
