Avoiding the <p> after a form submit

[Les Juby]

maybe this is a real Newbie Question but I'm sure I got around this in
the past but can't remember how.

If a form is situated in normal HTML then a paragraph tag is inserted
after the Submit button.

If the form is placed in a table then the preceding paragraph tag is
supressed but the trailing paragraph space is still inserted.

Any suggestions please.?

This must be your html editor which is inserting <p> tags. Either get a
version without this bug or code your html in a text editor.

what you are seeing is the default margin IE has for the FORM element. You
can correct this one of 2 ways:

Stylesheet:
form {border: 0 0 0 0}

Or inline style
<form name="myform" style="margin:0 0 0 0;">
</form>

Hope this helps.

AFAIK, the form element does not have a border by default, so option 1 is
still going to have the default margin.

Also, the Name attribute within the Form element is invalid in XHTML
Strict, so:

<form id="myform" style="margin:0">

Opps, typo for #1, should have been:
form {margin:0 0 0 0} or form {margin:0} or form {display:inline}

The form element will display the same behaviour as other block level
elements(tags), ie a <p>, unless changed to inline. Sorry for the typo.

: <form id="myform" style="margin:0">

Was just using his example where Les used the name attribute. =)
