The search box on my front page has a space under it that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Here's my code:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr bgcolor="<%=strTableBorderColor %>">
<td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="<%=strCategoryCellColor%>" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<form action="redirect_search.asp" method=get target="_blank">
<div align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="lpv" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="loc" value="lycosinc">
<input type="text" name="query" size=30>
<input type="hidden" name="num" value="30">
<select name="option">
<option value="lycos">The Web</option>
<option value="insidewaco">InsideWaco</option>
</select>
<input src="search.gif" type="image" value="Search" name="image">
</div>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

you need to move the closing </form> tag so that it is after the </td> tag not before it, that will remove the blank line.

Ok, now I have this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="<%=strCategoryCellColor%>" border="0">
<form action="redirect_search.asp" method=get target="_blank">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="lpv" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="loc" value="lycosinc">
<input type="text" name="query" size=30>
<input type="hidden" name="num" value="30">
<select name="option">
<option value="lycos">The Web</option>
<option value="insidewaco">InsideWaco</option>
</select>
<input src="search.gif" type="image" value="Search" name="image">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
<tr>
<td><div align="center"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">Powered by Lycos®</font></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The space I had under the form disappears, but now I'm getting errors when I run it through the w3 validator.
quote:
Line 635, column 63:
<form action="redirect_search.asp" method=get target="_blank">
^
Error: element "FORM" not allowed here; check which elements this element may be contained within (explanation...)
Line 636, column 5:
<tr>
^
Error: element "TR" not allowed here; check which elements this element may be contained within (explanation...)
Another question I have is on my main page. I have all my little windows within a larger table that has a red background and a blue border. I have small 11x11 images to 'round' the corners. In netscape 6 there's a full line the color of the border that runs above the images. Here's the code I have for the images:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="<%=strTableBorderColor %>" align="left" valign="top"><img src="top_left_corner.gif" width="11" height="11" alt=""> </td>
<td bgcolor="<%=strTableBorderColor %>" valign="top" align="center"> </td>
<td bgcolor="<%=strTableBorderColor %>" align="right" valign="top"><img src="top_right_corner.gif" width="11" height="11" alt=""> </td>
</tr>
I don't quite understand where that line is coming from, unless Netscape interprets the <valign="top"> differently than IE. Does it have a different property to set the valign?

actually, I said after the </TD> not the </TR> and leave the other tags as they were
Then you have to make a choice, do you go with the validator, or do you go with your nicely formatted form ?

I tried placing it right after the </td> and it gave me the same error. Oh well, screw the validator.
