Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
CSS - MSIE8, input, and ul

The project I'm trying to do involves a form where some of the fields are laid out horizontally.
I have a really bare-bones example here with as little irrelevant code as possible: http://feral.chaosnet.org/odd/whymsie.html
In Firefox, there is no difference between the way the top and the bottom forms are rendered.
In MSIE8, the bottom form is misaligned. There's weird padding on the left edge of each input field.
The only difference in the code is that there's a <span> tag around each label and input.
Can anybody explain why this happens and if the <span> tag here is the best way to solve this issue?

I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

I put one in the sample document. Still doing the same thing.
Edit: actually, the same document works when it's uploaded to my web host, but not when it's opened from a file local to my hard drive.
Whatever, I'm just going to chalk this up to MSIE being dumb. Thanks, De.
In IE8 go to Tools -> Compatibility View Settings and untick the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View."
I have no idea why it's the default, but it's caused me a few headaches when showing my boss a product that's half-finished and the layout / Javascript is knackered.
Ah-ha! That explains it. Thanks!
