I’ve got a container that has a contact form in it.. the form is ignoring my width of 140px and somehow computing itself out to 300px. no idea where it’s coming from.

HTML:

<div id="main" role="main">
        <div id="mail"> 
            <form id="signup" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get"> 
                <fieldset>
                    <span id="response">
                        <? require_once('php/store-address.php'); if($_GET['submit']){ echo storeAddress(); } ?>
                    </span>
                    <input type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Enter your email address" /> 
                    <input type="submit" id="submit" class="btn" value="Go" />             
                </fieldset> 
            </form> 
        </div> 
    </div>

CSS:

#main {
    width:300px;
    height:110px;
    padding:10px 20px 10px 20px;
    position:absolute;
