put your form tag outside the table

form tags cannot be within a table at anytime. A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

I have found strange problems with tables every now and again.

I usualy have one table that takes up the whole page and then put other items in it.
Code: 
<html>
<body leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>

<table border=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;>
 <tr>
  <td valign=&quot;top&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;>

   <table border=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;30%&quot; width=&quot;30%&quot;>
    <tr>
      <td valign=&quot;bottom&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;>content in here</td>
    </tr>
   </table>

  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

hope this sorts out your problem.

if not let me know

nothing worked? can you post the code for the page. A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

I always have form tags inside tables. Sometimes one in and one out. Works every time. -----------------------------------------------

not a good idea and against every coding convention I've ever learned. A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

You have, presumably, a Coldfusion query before your table. The contents of that query could be forcing the table away from the top of the page. I'd also look for a wayward image or possibly an onLoad event that, although not physically in your HTML file, could be altering the placement of the table. There's always a better way...

Check for paragraphs and line breaks outside the closing table tag. if it is after the table or not in a row the browser will parse it at the top of the page. DeZiner
