form with only hidden elements creates whitespace : (

Hello, I'm pretty sure this is the right place to post and I hope
someone can help me. I'm more of a cgi scripter, so I'm not 100%
familiar with stylesheets but I know enough to get by.

The problem I am having is this: I have a table with two colums. I the
first colum is just text. In the second there is 1) an image and 2) a
form with just a hidden element (i.e. <input type="hidden">). The
image is the same height as I would like the cell (and the row) to be,
however the hidden form seems to be pushing the borders of the cell
outwards. This means that my row height is too high.

This happens in IE, dont know about netscape. It is OK in Opera. The
only thing I have tried is putting just the form itself in an
invisible <div> tag, but this didnt work (probably cause invisible
divs still take up the same space as their content : )

This is crazy, could it be a problem with IE or is there a way to fix
this... please help me...

Cheers

Kev
