A Programming Question That's Bugging Me 

5 Comments:

Is it a css/div layout or a css/table layout?

The big issue, without seeing the code, that comes to mind is that IE adds proprietary paddings and margins to elements. There is a css hack that fixes this:

* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

this sets all elements to have a margin and padding of zero. ALL elements. so you may have to go through and adjust some padding and margins for paragraphs and such.

No tables involved, just divs.

I see... input text has a special value of height that you can assign it that may react better to cross browser that isn't a style.

My other suggestion is to make an input area that is larger use the textarea attribute. It allows for larger input areas that are better for cross browsers.
