Hi

Was just wondering how you got rid of the blank line underneath them, eg, what would I have to change here :

to get rid of the blank line?

What I usually do is start off the form before the stuff to go in it... Not sure if that's valid HTML, but that's what I do. Like this:

Code:

when you say 'blank line' what do you mean exactly? not sure I understand...

Most browsers ad some blank space after a form tag. Don't know why, but that's what they do. I wish they wouldn't, but that can't be changed Sad

ohh...I think I get it now Very Happy

I think the best thing to do is to just enclose the entire table in the <form> tag, as far as I know that's valid HTML, unlike what Daniel suggested Razz

Well that's basically like what I suggested, but it means you can only have one form in your table Smile

That message was to Daniel's original post by the way, as that is the method I used in the end - solved a big headache!

Daniel's method of putting the form tags outside a table is one I often use myself, and yes, Daniel, it's valid. Some problems with it, though, include only getting one form in that table and also the fact that you still get some blank space outside of your table (usually both above AND below the table) -- but not in all browsers.

No, the whole point of my method versus Adam's is that it allows you to have one table per row... And you could probably change it to allow one table per cell...

Thanks for pointing that out, Daniel. Actually, I didn't even read your code, and had assumed that you were talking about the exact same method as Adam was. I think I may've got that notion from your post later on down where you said:
