O.P. HTML layout is messed up.

Code for http://1337z.com/contact that shows in page editor:

code:
<form method="post" action="http://1337z.com/cgi-bin/cgiemail/contact.txt">
Send tobr />
<select name="required-to">
<option value="baggins@1337z.com">My email inbox</option>

<option value="mobile@1337z.com">My phone</option>
</select><br />
<em>Please use My phone for urgent issues</em><br />
Your e-mail addressbr />
<input name="required-email"/><br />
Your namebr />
<input name="required-name"/><br />
Your messagebr />
<textarea name="required-message" rows="5"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send!"/>
</form>

For me, it looks like this:
[Image: attachment.php?pid=882118]

Are there any obvious problems?

I have tried changing the theme.
The DTD is
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I wrote the page in what I knew to be XHTML, and the posted code is what wordpress changed it to.

RE: HTML layout is messed up.

Would you like it to look like this?:

"Your email address" [__box__]

"Your Name" [__box__]

"Your Message"
_______________
[ large box ]
| ]
| ]
| ]
[___________ ___]

RE: HTML layout is messed up.

I took a look at the page source through FireFox, and the source you gave us is a tad different, only by a small margin. I'm seeing paragraph tags, an opening before the "Please use my phone in urgent issues" and an ending tag after this line: "Your email address:". There is also another ending paragraph tag when I see no opening one anywhere after "Your name:". So could those be the issue perhaps?

I didn't catch that.
That must be being added in by wordpress, as it doesn't show in the editor.
I will google it and see what I come up with.

Well, I guess the page source in browsers tend to help sometimes. XD
