Also in the responsive section of the css I will change, if necessary the length allocated for each field.

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/Thank you very much for your input. I do not know much (if anything) about Selectors so I will read the article you referenced.
Hopefully once I read it, your line of
Form [name] .....
will make sense (as I dont understand it; not your fault; I am just not familiar with this).
