thank you! I realized in my sleep last night that wordpress was probably adding a <br> because it was done in my text editor and that WP probably needs all the form fields to be one continuous line!
But how did you see that <br>? When I look through firebug, I can’t get it to show me the html of that highlighted area. So I tried clicking on “div.ebk-txtbox” in the firebug header and it quickly flashes the form html at me but not for long enough to see what’s going on. In the old days it used to be easy with firebug, I just highlighted something, clicked on it, and it showed me what’s going on with both css + html.
That’s odd. Firebug should show what’s there. You could also use the native dev tools in FF. I use the dev tools in Chrome these days, and they clearly show the <br>.
