problem with tell-a-friend page in IE - textarea overlap

hi,

I've a problem with the tell-a-friend page in Internet Explorer

See here

It's fine in firefox but in IE it goes out/ in under the mainWrapper.

Anybody have any ideas why this is happening?

Re: problem with tell-a-friend page in IE - textarea overlap

Thanks TShooters,
everybody is really helpful here.

i'm going to try to keep a track of all the solutions i receive.
pity its a little hard to find things on the forum

here's the solution in case anybody comes across this thread:
As quoted from Dedek:

disable HTML tag **<br class="clearBoth" />
** on line 40 (appears to be line 79 to me)
in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_tell_a_friend_default.php.

There is nothing to "clear", because the label and textarea just above are not floating.

It's not a code bug, but IE6 and older render it buggy.

<label for="email-message"><?php echo FORM_TITLE_FRIEND_MESSAGE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('message', 30, 5, '', 'id="email-message"'); ?>
<!--<br class="clearBoth" />-->
</fieldset>
