 * I have a problem with my blog’s comments form. In IE, Firefox and Safari (but
   not in Chrome) a small piece of white space appears after the ‘submit comment’
   button on my comments form. It’s as if part of the comments textarea has overflowed
   or something. I have tried changing all of the relevant parameters in my stylesheet,
   to no effect. What am I missing?
 * See [here](http://whynotburnbooks.com/blog/417/no-yesterday-is-worth-preserving/)
   for a typical post from my blog.
 * Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 * Anyone? It must be something simple, but I can’t seem to fix it.

 * If you remove the following line from here in your stylesheet:
 * #commentform textarea {style.css (line 416)
    background:#FEFFF1 none repeat scroll
   0 0; color:#000000; display:inline; <—REMOVE THIS LINE
 * The problem goes away, might break other stuff though.
 * It’s a starting point at least.
