form select-box display

inline in NN4

[seashell]

This is longshot, but I'm asking anyway because some genious out there may have a solution for me.

At the top of every page, there is a quick-links section with a select box for each. The quick-link select boxes are within a table with a blue background. There is supposed to be no space between the top/bottom of the cell where the select boxes are. Simple enough to cure, just set style to:

form {display: inline; }

This works great in all the browsers I test in (IE, Mozilla, NN7, Opera) except NN4, which my organization can't seem to let go of. The only way it works is if the form closing tag is outside of the cell: </td></form>. I can't bring myself to post incorrect code, but the higher-ups will throw a conniption fit if it doesn't look "perfect" in NN4.

I've tried all sorts of combination of margin: 0 and padding: 0. Any other suggestions?

Think your only option is to tell the higher ups that if they want to support NN4 they will have to allow for some compromises.

But maybe someone else has a solution for you, I wouldnt count on it though ;).

Have you tried margin: 0;?

[seashell]

Yes:

form {margin: 0; }

and even:

form {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; }

It's a no-go in NN4. It seems I've been defeated.

=(

This forum has been a great help to me since I started coming here. I've really learned a lot, and I appreciate all the help!

[DrDoc]

Well, I guess it's just one of those things that NN4 can't handle... :(

[seashell]

One of many!

Thanks for trying!
