styling large forms.

I have this form looking pretty much the way i want it to look, but I want it to be coded right and in a lot of places I kinda did a hack job to make stuff work.

to get my text fields to align i had to double close </P > </P >

If i didn’t then it would indent the next text field box.

here is my form and here is my css. if someone could direct me on how this should look from a professional level I would appreciate it.

here is a link to the form…
