IE vs Firefox layout problem

Question

I'm using the cfform type="xml" to create the following form
http://www.cisaustin.org/volunteer-amagrum/vol-app-long-student-version-page5.cfm
First I can't get the label to be next to the cftextarea, and
secondly it looks way different in IE and Firefox browser.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks
