May I suggest you start here:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdepika.biz%2Falex%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_dfcontact%26Itemid%3D73>
The problem could be how the different browsers handle errors. It seems
to work as you expect in Opera 9.

There are several errors in the css. I used this one:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/csscheck/
because the W3 CSS validator chokes on the invalid HTML.
Example:

width:303
Error: Unit identifier required.


Then, please see this page:

I don't see a particular reason to use a scrolling div for this form.

Oh, new documents should be using a Strict doctype.
