the source to the wizard page is pretty simple.

That can't be all, the script version has one line (743 ?)...

...(folded by me), but wizard.html has two offending width=
Near line 74:

| <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="766"
|  bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

Near line 81 (within the 766-table):

| <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
|   width="721">

Near line 86 (within the 721-table):

| <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Near line 150 (within the 3rd table after tons of JavaScript):

| <FORM METHOD=GET ACTION="">
| <TABLE BGCOLOR="#FFFFB0" BORDER=0 WIDTH="100%">

If I replace both width="721" by width="95%" and both
width="766" by width="95%" it works.

s/766/95%/g  (two occurences) (zero in the script)
s/721/95%/g  (two occurences)  (one in the script)
s/100%/95%/g (two.occurences)  (one in the script)

Of course I could only test the initial page, not any
generated pages, I have no perl and no apache.  Is the
perl part supposed to work for IPv6 ?

JavaScript won't work for many users trying to publish
SPF (stupid users aren't interested in SPF), therefore
it can be deleted completely simplifying the page and
the script significantly.

Further improvements:  Let's get rid of the background
image, it's a pain and useless.  And then the important
change why all these funny absolute widths broke in the
first place, the _two_ lines...

With that trick the third column (input areas) moves to
the left, and maybe the form then doesn't need horizontal
scrolling.  By replacing any "broken image" icons in the
second column (~all by <b><tt>~all</tt></b> etc.) the 3rd
column could meve further to the left.
