space at top of form

created a pop up form with behaviors. however I am having trouble tweaking the
form so that there is no space all around it and it fits perfectly into the
browser window (450 px by 300 px). I have included the code in the body tag to
set everything to 0 but there is this space at the top that will not go away.
this only occurs when I use the form tag without it looks fine but it's not a
form without the tag. Any ideas?

Use CSS to control the <form> tag's margins -

<style>
form { margin:0; }
</style>

It really helps when we can see your code. But until you post it, try adding this to your header.

<style type="text/css">
form { margin:0; }
</style>

Murray... <style> is not valid without the TYPE attribute :P

It's perfectly valid in an example, however! 8)

A little HTML trick you can do to get rid of that space...

instead of putting your form tag around a table... embed it in the table in a
non-standard way... put it after the TABLE tag, before the first TR... and
close the form table AFTER the last TR and before the end of the Table close
tag.

that seems to get rid of the extra mystery space!

;-)

move the form tags to nest into the Table like this...

<table>
<form><tr>
<Td></td>
</tr></form>
</table>

For some reason that works better than:

<form>
<table>
<tr>
<Td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

I wouldn't recommend that anyone do that. It's just too 'hacky' and
non-standard for me.

The reason is works is that the form tag cannot have a margin in a <tr> (I
think) since it isn't supposed to be there in the first place. You get the
same result with perfectly valid code by removing the margin with CSS.
