need help aligning image next to textbox in IE6

[jrthor2]

I need some help trying to get the calendar icon to line up next to the top textbox on my form on my site. It lines up fine in IE7 and Firefox. You'll need to login to my admin site, click on the "Schedules Maintenance" link, then click the "Add Schedule" link to see the form. You can login using:

username: test
password: access

Ok, I've taken the authentication off that page

That makes it much easier..

Floating both .contactform input.date and .contactform a left, combined with a 100% width on .contactform p seems to do the trick.

Thank You!!! That worked. Could I get some help with another issue :-)? On the below page, I have a dropdown where a user can select an image, and I have the image show below the select box when they select an image. When the page initially displayes, I get the red X in IE because they haven't selected an image yet. How can I not show the image on initial load?

Thanks!!

I would set the src to be an actual image (even if it is a blank 1px gif image) in the initial page code. That way IE will not display the red X.
