I've been working on this simple form piece for my work's intranet. When viewing in IE 5.5 for Windows (which is the majority of users), the form beginning and ending tags are interpretted as such but are also seens as newline tags (there are big gaps above the starting form tag and below the ending one).

This is driving me !!!

Does anyone know how to counteract this behavior using CSS or some other method? Mozilla displays the elements properly. I truly hate IE and Microsoft - no respect for general aesthetics. I just want the form elements to look good. Is that so much to ask?

If you've got a form surrounded by a table, you could nest the form inside the [tr] tags rather than the [td] tags. It's a kludge, but it works on nearly every browser I've tested.

Also, you could just define this in your stylesheets:

form { margin:0px; padding:0px }
