 * Nope, still broken…

 *     ```
       78 	.cform label 	Value Error : display -moz-inline-box is not a display value : -moz-inline-box

 * [This](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/prettyaccessibleforms/) and [this](http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/troubleshooting/a-couple-css-errors-breaks-cforms-validation/page-1/#p1224)
   might help to understand the background of “**-moz-inline-box**“. Whether or 
   not the validator whines about it, it follows a best practice.

 * To be honest I think that the W3C validation best practice is far more important
   than a browser specific best practice even if it is for a gecko based one. Many
   would agree especially when working for a standards compliant development firm.
 * But – fear not!! The desired effect can be accomplished by killing the -moz-inline-
   box display property and floating it to the left.
 * I didn’t do this with the shiny CSS one but I did with the minimal CSS and it
   worked like a charm.
 * I really hope this is fixed in the next release because some people (including
   a co-worker of mine) refuse to use this phenomenal product because of the validation
   issues.
