Firefox & IE - again

I'm stuck again I'm afraid, if you'd be kind enough to take a look at this
page: http://www.stevenson-central.com/servos/contact.shtml the css is here:
http://www.stevenson-central.com/servos/css/style.css

You'll notice a whole bunch of "Text..." in the right hand <div> Originally
the main content <div> was appearing below the last of the text, way down
there. I figured it was because I had:

div.row {
clear: both;
padding: 1px;
}

in the stylesheet, clearing the main content to below the last text either
side. As I still need it for the form on the search page (to stop IE falling
over again) I overrode it with:

div.row {clear: none;}

as an internal style for this page only. Firefox now looks as I'd expect,
but IE seems to be having trouble understanding, or, more likely, I do.

Removing it completely still didn't help, so, while it that's what cause FF
to push the text down, something else entirely is causing my IE troubles.
Does anyone have any clue what's going on here?

Thanks

Andy.

Bad form, replying to my own post I know. But I wanted to share the fix,

just in case it may help others... It seems IE didn't like me forcing the
form to 100% width. All now looks as I would expect.

Thanks for posting.

Where did you get the idea that it was bad form? It's a courtesy to
post a solution! Think of someone searching the archives for a
question similar to yours -- they'll be delighted to find the
solution in the same thread.
