For some time I have been seeing an annoying layout error on the main page at http://iomfats.org and other pages that use the same basic layout. It appears that the left column is styled with a fixed width (either 239 or 243 pixels, and I'm too lazy to figure out which applies to Firefox 3.x), while the "email" input object near the end of that column has a fixed width of 30 characters. At the default font sizes and the slightly larger size I prefer for reading text on iomfats.org, the "email" input object extends beyond the right edge of its containing column; on the main page it consistently obscures part of one of the poll responses, including the checkbox that must be clicked upon to select that response.

This may be a Firefox 3.x bug. At least, it does not occur with Chromium 11.0.686.57 unless font sizes are reduced nearly to unreadability. On the other hand, if it is possible to set the size of the "email" input object by setting its width via CSS, it seems to me that ought to make the email input field remain proportional to the column that contains it.

This problem occurs with Firefox 3.6.17 running on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10.
