Hi,

I’m pulling my hair out over this one. I have been creating a form using lists and css but IE seems to be adding a 2px padding around the input boxes and I can’t for the life of me overide it.

I have tried pretty much everything but i can’t remove the 2px gap in IE7.

```auto

<div id="RegisterContent_Organisationdetails">
    <fieldset style="height: 250px;">
        <legend>Organisation details</legend>
         <ol>
            <li><label for="Organisation">Organisation:*</label>
             <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></li>
             <li><label for="Password:">Password:*</label>
             <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></li>
             <li><label for="Confirm">Confirm:*</label>
