Thanks for clarifying this case. This is really an annoying bug. I wonder if its fixed in IE8.
I prefer the fix. Its quite elegant.
@Missy:
the overflow.visible fix is related rather to the padding than to the margins. But its also useful for fixing the IE padding issue.

I have also found a way to workaround this (not as elegant as the span fix):
put an invisible button – whatever – before the bug-effected element, setting its visibility to hidden and its display property to none by a style.

Barry’s solution is more realistic if you get into the habit of making your known form-element container divs use this “relative/left/margin-right” technique to substitute margin-left away:

.old {
margin-left: x;
width: w;
}

.new {
position: relative;
left: x;
margin-right: -x; /* only for percentage or auto widths */
width: w-x; /* only for fixed widths */
}

And of course annotate what you’ve done so you can alter the stylesheet confidently in future

Saved our bacon. We were looking at having to go back to a client after they had approved a design to say that we were not able to implement it reliably. This article, and those tools saved us!!

Thanks a bunch! This bug was driving me insane as well.

I solved my issues by using a combination of the span wrapper and overflow:visible; for the input element.
