IE (Internet Explorer) Form Tag problem

Most of the desingners of html , perhaps faced this problem, that when use
form tag, extra white space or page break appear. This is most in the case of
using form tag outside a table or a td tag. There is no problem for the same
condition in mozilla. You know what to do.

We can solve this simply using CSS. Just add this

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

This will solve your problem

    Make sure your form tag is properly closed, or properly nested. Check the action field too. if not solved, Mail you html code to admin@sajithmr.com . I will try my best.

    Thanks you

    Internet Explorer 8 is really good. This browser is very very stable and i have been using it for quite a while without blue screens or crashes.

    I knew it had to do with the padding & margins somewhere (I had added it to my table tag with no results). Your fix is too obvious. I can’t thank you enough. Thanks for making me look good!!!

    It is problems like these I am glad I use Firefox. IE has been around soooo long you’d figure they’d have alot of these stupid little bugs worked out by now. They should just get over themselves & conform like the rest.

    Hey,

    I am very new to the website development. Anyway, I learned quite a bit using various tutorial. The one last thing I got stuck with is the contact form page.

    I have a master page and creating contact form in a content page. Whenever I use the , it adds a page break in the IE8; Mozilla works fine.

    I tried your solution of putting css style for form (put it in master as well as in the content page, jsut to check), but it still adds the page break in IE8. Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Hemant
