Toby, thanks for the response. After changing my markup to add the
<label> tag i'm now getting this error from the validator:

Error Line 24 column 6: document type does not allow element "label"
here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div",
"pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag.

It did work as far as allowing me to keep my form in a strait line, but
the validator dosen't seem to like it.

Thanks again Toby.
