This is what I have so far on an iPhone-optimized version of my site. But when viewed from an iPhone/iPod touch, it looks well, except that there is excess space on the right. How can I fix this?

Hard to tell. Could it be that the bg.png is too small for the device width? — Jason Gennaro
Can you supply a live link or put up an example on jsfiddle.net — Dan
switch.tk <- view it on a Desktop and then on an iPhone/iPOd Touch. And no, the bg.png is a perfect size as it fit perfectly before I added the pre {}. — Imnotanerd

I think you have some tabs or spaces after your "labels". You should also have the text in label-elements.

What you might have:

<pre> <form method="post" action="/index.php">Enter a URL<br />(WITH THE http://):               <br /><input type="text" name="url"> 
<br />Want a custom tag?                    <br /><input type="text" name="custom"> 
</form> 
No URL was entered.</pre>

What you should have:

<form method="post" action="/index.php">
  <label for="url">
    Enter a URL (WITH THE http://):
  </label>
  <input type="text" name="url"> 
  <label for="custom">
    Want a custom tag?
  </label>
  <input type="text" name="custom"> 
</form> 
<p>No URL was entered.</p>

Then you need to style it to make it look like before. Remember the pre-element is usually used to output code.
