Hello,

In the CSS, change this:

body {
background-color: #EBEBEB;
form1 { margin:0 auto; border-top-color: #0000FF;
}

To this:

body {
background-color: #EBEBEB;
}

It's just incorrect formatting, and you don't need the "form1" styling.
If you really needed to add a form1 style (which you don't in this case),
you would first have to decide whether "form1" is an ID name or a class
name.
You would have to use a # or a period in front of it in the CSS:
#form1 for ID
..form1 for class.
You would then have to assign the form itself this ID or class:
<form ID="form1" or <form class="form1"...
You would then need to move it out of the middle of the body CSS rule.

But, like I said, you don't need to do this.
Once you correct your other piece of "form" CSS, it will work fine.

Change this:

..form { margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

To this:

form { margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

Note the period before form is gone, changing it from a class into a tag.
To use the class .form, you would have had to assigned that class to the
form:
<form class="form".... it doesn't work because there is no class named
"form" assigned to the form.

If you aren't going to have other forms on the page that you do want a
margin around, just use:

form { margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

which say's "for all form tags, make the margin and padding 0px"

So, the CSS on the page would simply be this:

body {
background-color: #EBEBEB;
}
form { margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}


On a side note, you may also want to combine all of your stylesheets into
just 1.

Take care,
Tim
