This is probably quite common, but I haven't found a way round it yet. when you end a form, in IE, you get an unavoidable line break, unless you end it outside a table. e.g.







But this throws up warnings, and is bad HTML. Using the Firefox Tidy thingy I've managed to get my new pocketmonkey site down to 0 errors, but 2 warnings - one for each I've got on the page. Putting the within the clears the errors, and it displays fine in Firefox, but I get the bloody forced line breaks in IE, which ruins the design!!! I want it to diplay the same in both, and I'll be going for IE and keep the errors in the long run, but I don't want to.

Anyone know how to stop the line breaks and keep good HTML?

Just checked an old site I did using that fix and it doesn't validate.

Best option would be CSS using;

td.form {
padding: 0;
}

form {
margin:0;
padding:0;
display: inline;
}

Obviously you'll have to change the HTML to

It'll validate.

Other fixes I've used before include;

If only a single form just encase the whole page in the form tags;

Or:

Another option if to use the whitespace declaration in CSS.

Try applying display:inline to the form, dunno if it'll validate though.
