XHTML Validation Question 1

[coldfused]

This validates:

<form action="page.cfm" method="post">
<table width="775" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <tr>
      <td>
     </td>
    </tr>
</table>  
</form>

This does not:

<table width="775" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form action="page.cfm" method="post">
    <tr>
      <td>
     </td>
    </tr>
</form>
</table>

Notice the "form" tag is nested in one example and not in the other.

Well that sucks....

Of course to get it to validate I have to remove the nested form tag and take it out side the table tag, only problem is the 8 pixel or so space that IE, Netscape, Firefox, etc adds inbetween the table with the form and the next element on the page.

Any ideas, is there a work around? That table is a <cfinclude> that I really dont want to have to go back and bring the form tag into the page the include is being pulled into just to get the page to validate.

If it was just a contact us page I wouldnt bother having one page that didnt validate, but this login form is in the header of every single page.

Use this CSS in your style section:

form {
   padding: 0px;
   margin: 0px;
}

Hope this helps,
Dan
