form indeed creates a space like the <p> tag, but the good news is that you can set the form tag on top of your page and the closing tag at the bottom, so that it doesn't destroy your layout you can also set every button or whatever in separate tablecells ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Koen van Hees E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LdV/Partners Ad Agency http://www.ldv.com Balansstraat 117 B-2018 Antwerp (Belgium) T: +32-3-2410250 F: +32-3-2487344 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: vrijdag 15 mei 1998 0:34 > To: Web Consultants List > Subject: WC:>: Form spaces in html layout > > HTML question: > > I'm trying to get a number of img buttons that are all snug up against > each > other to be separate forms and still stay sung up against each other.
