<form> and <table> 1

[welldefined]

I found it will get a big empty space after following block:
<form...>
<table>
<tr><td>...</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
I then chage to this and found the empty space became much smaller, that is what I need:
<table>
<form...>
<tr><td>...</td></tr>
</form>
</table>
However, W3C validator said I should not do that, W3C validator like the first block.
Can you tell me how to make smaller space after the block and make W3C validator happy?

Why do we have styling?

<form... [b]style="margin-bottom: 0;"[/b]>
  <table> 
    <tr><td>...</td></tr>
  </table>
</form>

You should move the style to external stylesheet eventually.

I have just tested what you said and that is great!
Can you explain more for that style: can we use in other case and may be we can set
<form... style="margin-bottom: 20;"> ?

That style is css. You should read up on it:

http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

http://www.w3schools.com/css/

What you're asking is possible, but you would have to tell me and the browser 20 of what you want. CSS can take a myriad of units, including pixels, points, percentage, inches, centimeters and ems. 20 what did you have in mind?

Thanks a lot.

I just want to set a small mumber but bigger than zero.
