I have created a search box in the top left area of my left nav bar. I have applied the following styles to the form to restrict its 'bulking' of height and breaking the design and this seems to do the trick in IE and NS6.
However, in NS4 there is additional height forced at the end of the search box of about 20px. I had read that NS4 will add additonal space around form elements by default, but can be 'tricked' into not doing so by wrapping of form elements in <div> tags. I have yet to find an effective way of doing this. Any NS4 tamers in the house?
Code:
<style>form {margin:0;padding:0;}
</style>
