Question

Anyone know of any good Web design forums? I've used coolhomepages, but it's a bit quiet and takes a while to get a response.

I might as well ask my questions here while I'm posting.

Is there a way to prevent the <form> tags from including extra space? If I have a table of spliced graphics from say Fireworks, the form tag will split the graphic apart unless I put the tags between <table> and <tr> or <tr> and <td>, which isn't good HTML.

Also how to I get this style to appear in Netscape (7) when applied to a table:

.3dcream
{
background-color: #f1f3f0;
border-top: 1 solid #ffffff;
border-bottom: 1 solid #b8bab8;
border-left: 1 solid #ffffff;
border-right: 1 solid #b8bab8;
}

An inline style in the page works fine? I know Netscape has issues with table backgrounds etc.

Thanks!

What does the form do? Text inputs requiring POST or something such as a dropdown menu?

Dot Dragnet is about the best forum:

It's in the navigation header bar like this:

One text box, a select and a submit button.

That's not the site I'm doing at the moment but it's similar. I can get it to work fine and maintain the appearance, it's just I have to cheat by placing the form tags in 'illegal' locations which the w3c html validator doesn't like.

Form prob sorted, form {margin:0px;} in the stylesheet did the trick.

Good - I was gonna say you can take the form tags out for the jump menu - still works without it, but takes away the hassle of moving cells.

The margin CSS is worth remembering though - good one

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I STFW first.

Frequent references to Netscape's pitfalls, but nothing to sugest how to overcome them.

I think at this moment in time it would be wiser to make the site Netscape compatable rather than XHTML Strict DTD compliant.
