browser is moz 1.1 gecko 20020826

included sample code that have a form consisting of a label and an input. the
label should be 35% of the parent div and the input 60% (they are span
elements). mozilla resizes the span items to the width of the input or label
string and ignores the percentage.IE 5 and 5.5 display the correct behaviour.

Attached file shows the width error
this is indended to be an enter password page
<span> has display:inline, hence the "width" property does not apply to it (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#the-width-property).  This is a known
bug in IE/Windows that may even be fixed in the IE6 "CSS1Compat" mode.
