I'd say yah, but why didn't you just try it?

Once I had a little bird
That made me rather hasty.
So now I have no little bird,
But it was very tasty.

No you don't. You have a bottom margin.

can i delete this blank line?

Use CSS to remove the margin.
form {margin: 0;}

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

Frontpage! All bets are off

<table border="1" width="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td>
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<input type="text" name="T1" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="send" name="B1">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This the sort of effect you want:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {margin: 0; padding: 0}
td {border: 1px solid black}
table {width: 400px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table><tr><td>
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<div><input type="text" name="T1" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="send" name="B1"></div>
</form>
</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>

?

(You don't need a table for this, try removing all table tags and
see for yourself)

Hi Maria,

Just move the </form> down two lines so that it is in between the </tr> and
the </table>.

Hope that helps

You are kidding, of course... remember, the end does not
necessarily justify the means.

Hi Maria,

the </table>.

Whatever you do DON'T do that! It's invalid (and of all forms of
invalidity, messing up forms and tables is the worst), meaning that it's
totally unpredictable what different browsers will do with it.

Just add form { margin: 0; } to the styles, or if you like:

<form style="margin: 0" method="POST" ...

etc.

It seems Firefox gives form a 16px bottom margin by default but not in
strict mode.

Always use strict mode. To get strict mode, put this as the first line
of your document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">

Once I had a little dog
Who wagged its tail spritely.
But it walked by the harvestor
And now is shorter slightly.

I'm in the "00" category. We have no badges, just plastic.
