html passes validator, but doesn't look the way I want it

html form table background problem

[crazyspeak]

I have been working on an html page that I was being told was causing render problems. After using a HTML online validator I realised that I can't wrap a form in and around tables, so I have brought the form out of the table.
But the problem is now visable at <sorry, no personal URLs>

Between the top map and the beginning of the converter table, the blue back ground has come through, I want it to be white.

How can I control the backgound colour of a form that isn't in a table?

Can anybody suggest anything
Thanks
SP

You can use a style sheet:

<style type="text/css">
form {
background: white;
}
</style>
