 * The `<input>` tag seems to vary in location between browsers. `margin: 0;` won’t
   do much. Any ideas?

 * No, I was just planning out the form, but then remembered I had trouble in the
   past making pixel perfect forms. I’ll make a dummy form real quick. One sec…

   like.

 * Try both padding and margin 0, then specify the width.

 * Sorry, I went to bed 😀
 * You might try using IE conditional comments to specifiy different styles for 
   the form elements in IE.
 * They look like this:
 * `<!--[if IE]> IE-only stuff goes in here! <![endif]-->`

 * Padding didn’t move anything, I’m not sure if I’m going to do conditionals but
   thank you very much for the help.
