The Damn <form> Line Return Issue

[Augustus]

Has anyone figured out how to kill the line return that's created when
you insert a form?

form {

margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;

}

try:

margin-top:0px;

instead of padding-top:0px;

form{margin-bottom:0;}

 

[Els]

form{margin-bottom:0;}

please ignore - I wasn't awake enough to see you already tried
that :\

Now we only need to see the OP's URL to find out what the real problem is.
So the problem will probably remain a mystery. Or does someone wish to try
and figure out the URL based on the alleged domain in OP's E-mail address,
noway.com?

As far as the guessing game goes: I think he does mean the
infamous white space below a form (usually noticed when putting
a form inside a table cell), and that he made a minor mistake in
the CSS so that the margin-bottom:0 got ignored.

But again: just guessing

That would be my first guess too.

My second guess would be that in this case the form does not appear inside
a table cell but elsewhere. Then it has both a top margin and a bottom
margin by default, as you can see if you view a page containing

foo<form action="zap">bar</form>foo

For some odd reason, popular browsers by default suppress the top margin
but not the bottom margin.

Thanks folks....

I've got two back to back deadlines coming up (web site jobs) and I'm
burning the candle on both ends.

If you don't know how to do simple things display a form inline, I recommend
passing on those website jobs to someone who knows WTF they're doing

I'll apply your suggestions and get back to you with a "Success" or
"Fail" replay as soon as I can.

Or just three - "Rock Star, baby!"

Oh wait, you were being sarcastic. You would be attempting to make an
implied claim that I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about because
I'm covered in tattoos? Funny, that. While you're sitting here trying to cut
me down on my appearance, I'm making 3 figures an hour consulting for one of
the most important agencies in the US Government. Joke's on you, dick
