<form>...</form> - how to supress blank space after </form> in IE?

[rob c]

This is a minor thing and only appears in IE (so far), but I'd like to know to
correct it (if possible).

Whenever I use a form on a webpage, Explorer always leaves a blank line
following the </form> tag but Mozilla doesn't. Is there a way to supress the
blank line?

Thanks

:>form is a block element like div or p so what you see is probably the

As soon as you said "...form is a block element like div or p..." a small
light bulb started to flicker.

Thank you!

Remove the extra whitespace from your source code.

Irrelevant to JS though.

Try: <form style="margin:0px">
