Pls look at the page http://www.silchar.com/silchartry.html

On the right hand side , under the Silcharites Online section, there are two forms .. one submit says GO and the other says SEARCH .. but </form> introduces an extra new line which I want to avoid .. can you pls tell me how to remove the extra blank line between the two forms ..

Hi Prem your post is pretty old, but looking your page (to see if you solved somehow the problem) i see you still have the newline between the two <form> objects, well i worked around the problem and found a solution you may find useful.
Actually it is not a Newline, the form object have the bad behaviour of creating itself (probably browser dependant problem, i cannot check 'cause i work ONLY with MSIE) with a 15/20 point border (or margin, or call as you like)

so you can kill this bad habit of its just restyling the form object:

<form style="{ MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt; MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; }" action="thereceivingpage.asp" name="myform" method=POST>

I think just style="{ MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; }"

is enough...
anyway with the first statement i solved the problem.....
bye
