I am simply placing a form in a table and not getting the results I want. As you can see from the following , the table height is 15. But the table height expands to twice this size when the form element is placed inside. What did I miss, how can I reemove the unwanted space at the bottom of the form. Thanks in advance.......

code:

<html>

<table width="75" height="15" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="75" height="15">
<form method="post" action="search.php">
<select name="searchtype">
<option valve ="title" selected>Title
<option valve ="cast">Cast
<option valve ="director">Director
</select>
</form>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</html>

<form method="post" action="search.php" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

that should fix things... :)

<td width="75" height="15">

<select name="searchtype">
<option valve ="title" selected>Title
<option valve ="cast">Cast
<option valve ="director">Director

one from feyd n' one from daveclark...:O)))

You can remove the margin paddings from the FORM via CSS...either in your global CSS
file, or inline:

FORM {
margin : 0
}

or
<form method="POST" style="margin:0;" etc.

n' from dave clark...
I have noticed that the closing FORM tag does that. I have "fixed" it by not closing the
FORM in the effected TD -- but to close the FORM in the next TD, TR, or whatever.

Yeah - if you close it in a place that has no physical presence, it will solve the problem; basically

<table>
<form>
<tbody> .... </tbody>
</form>
</table>

Well thanks for all the help/replys. I tried several on these and they all worked.

Thanks again...

Perhaps someone could tell me how to change the form background from the plain white to some other color....

THanks again...
