Hi all

Opera is vertically displacing the <FORM>...</FORM> tags in the webpage accessed through either link in this signature block.

IE, Firefox and Netscape all OK.

CSS is
Code: 
#searchs {
	position: absolute;
	top: 6px; 
	left: 10px;
}

#site_search_label {
      font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      position: absolute;
      font-size:11px;
      white-space: nowrap;
}

#site_search_input {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	position: absolute;
	top: -3px; 
	left: 70px;
	font-size:11px;
	white-space: nowrap;
}

#page_search_label {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	position: absolute;
	left: 200px;
	font-size:11px;
	white-space: nowrap;
}

#page_search_input {
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	position: absolute;
	top: -3px; 
	left: 277px;
	font-size:11px;
	white-space: nowrap;
}
HTML is
Code: 
			<div id="searchs">
				<span id="site_search_label">
					 Site search 
				</span>
				<span id="site_search_input">
					<form name="jse_Form" action="#" onsubmit="search_form(jse_Form);return false">
						<input type="text" name="d" style='font-size: 8pt' size="12" title="Search PDFcommander website">
						<input type="button" value="Go " style='font-size: 8pt' onclick="search_form(jse_Form)">
					</form>
				</span>
				<span id="page_search_label">
					 Page search 
				</span>
				<span id="page_search_input">
					<form name="form1" action="#" onSubmit="search(document.form1, frametosearch); return false">
						<input type="text" name="findthis" style='font-size: 8pt' size="12" title="Press 'ALT s' after clicking submit to repeatedly search page">
						<input type="submit" value="Go " style='font-size: 8pt' accesskey="s">
					</form>
				</span>
			</div>
Any ideas please?

TIA

No difference in Opera. [sad]

If I make a test harness using just the CSS and HTML you've given, I see no difference between the rendering in Opera (either v7.54 or v8.0) than in Firefox v1.0.7.

A few things that would make a difference that are unknown to us:

1. The DOCTYPE you are using
2. The version of Opera you are seeing the problem with (versions of Opera pre v7.2 are, apparently, somewhat problematic).
