It has to be at least a little related to Drupal. I get the same result under multiple themes. This was previously a chunk of php stuck in a page using the php filter, now I'm turning it into a proper Drupal module using the form api. So, it's got something to do with how the form is being assembled.

Yep. I just tried both to see if it would change the behavior. Got the same result either way in multiple themes.

After I posted I realized I can to a _theme function to go with the _form function to help lay things out nicely without having to add .tpl files or other theme overhead to the project. I think it's time to go make friends with drupal_render().

Thanks,
