NN4.7 and 6.1 both ignored the 'display: inline' css in my test and showed the whitespace. It may be compliant but it doesn't really work as well as hiding the form tags between table rows or cells. here's the test I used: <table bgcolor=red><tr><form><td>form tag outside of cell</td></form></tr></table> <table bgcolor=red><tr><form><td>form tag outside of cell</td></form></tr></table> <table bgcolor=red><tr><form><td>form tag outside of cell</td></form></tr></table> <table bgcolor=blue><form><tr><td>form tag outside of row</td></tr></form></table> <table bgcolor=blue><form><tr><td>form tag outside of row</td></tr></form></table> <table bgcolor=blue><form><tr><td>form tag outside of row</td></tr></form></table> <form style="display: inline"><table bgcolor=green><tr><td>inline css</td></tr></table></form> <form style="display: inline"><table bgcolor=green><tr><td>inline css</td></tr></table></form> <form style="display: inline"><table bgcolor=green><tr><td>inline css</td></tr></table></form> -- Mark, maggelet@mminternet.com on 10/23/2001
