Blank space under form in table cell

[IClarke]

Any one got any ideas why i'm getting a blank space under my form (a simple text box and submit button), there is no <BR> or anything ... it's driving me nuts ! Here is a code sinppet :

<td bgcolor="#0052BD" width="100%" height="36" colspan="2" valign="middle">
<form method="get" action="http://search.atomz.com/search/">
<p>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
<b><font color="#FFFFFF">&nbsp;Search for:</font></b>&nbsp; <input size=30 name="sp-q" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt">&nbsp;
<input type=submit value="Search" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: bold"></font><input type=hidden name="sp-a" value="">
</p>
<input type=hidden name="sp-p" value="any"
<input type=hidden name="sp-w-control" value=1>
<input type=hidden name="sp-w" value="alike">
<input type=hidden name="sp-m" value=1><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><input type=hidden name="sp-k" value=""><input type=hidden name="sp-c" value=10></font>
</form>

</td>

Don't specify height on your TD. It will size itself to fit the contents unless you NEED it bigger than the contents.

Nope did'nt make any difference, there just seems to be an extra space just like there is a <br> there or soemthing but there is'nt ... very odd. It's happend before if i remember correctly, it seems to be related to the form in some way.

I've had this problem too. Forms seem to pad themselves if they are not inside some other formatted element like a paragraph. One way to get rid of the 'space' is by using styles, for example:

<FORM STYLE="{ margin: 0px; }">

Make sure you specify in your table tag's attributes:

cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0

If you don't it will pad the cells. You didn't post your table tag before, but that could be the problem as well.
