Rob,

Just looked again, no problem here. If you are seeing overlapping, then it would be an issue with
your Video Card driver.

I would have structure the page using tables, which maybe a solution.

I've seen this thing happen on my machine before, usually when lots of Javascript...it's a memory thing on my machine 'cause if I shut some stuff down it's ok. That form does load slowly here as well.

New video card with 128 mem on it, so it's not that.

Table would help the layout of that form yep..

Is there a limit fields in FP's forms? I've never used a form quite this big!

The space bar is not a design tool
Your form will fall apart at different user screen resolutions / browser window sizes / text sizes

Redo the layout using a table and cell to align your fields

Your drop down boxes work fine for me - Windows XP Pro (SP2) & IE 6 (Win XP
version)

issue resolved by restarting IE.
