Try setting the padding and margin values to 0px.

no dice. That didn't change anything, and I verified the margin/padding with firebug.

It is the same in all browsers? Since i know that Safari is annoying when it comes to things like this.

I thought you had the border set to 1px solid #000 because the border on the above form looks like that.

I hadn't set the border properties, so not sure what they were defaulting to. Edit your answer and I'll accept.
