i have a table made up of several cells. i have to insert a form inside
certain cells as i have a 'buy it now' button inside the cell. it needs to be
a form inside a cell.

the problem is when i insert the form, the cell height is increased as it
sems to split the cell into 2 rows, 1 row for the form and the other row was
the orignal cell. i cant find any way to make the height of the combined new
cells to the original height. any ideas anyone please?
 
The easiest way is to insert the form on a blank page and set it up the way
you want. Then switch to Code View and copy and paste everything from the
<form> tag to the </form> tag. Then, on the page where you want the form
put xxx (or something) in the cell so you know where it goes. Switch to
Code View, find those place marks (ex: xxx) highlight them and paste in the
form code.
 
Thanks for the reply. thisi snt the problem. if you try your method, you will
see that the cell that has the form inside increases in height. i need to
reduce this height back to the original size.
 
What size do you want it and what size does it make it after you add the
form? What's the URL so we can take a look? If the problem is that the
text boxes are too high or too wide you can use CSS to control their sizes -
make them smaller/thinner to take up less space. You can also put the
<form> and </form> tags outside of the cell so all that's in the cell are
the form elements. That will reduce size
 
A Html Form has an implicit line feed at the end of it
To remove it add a style in the form tag to set margins to 0
<form style="margin:0px;" .....rest of form tag attributes here...>
