Ok, so here's the deal. I've got a menu bar setup for the top of my page. And I've inserted a search box. However, when I insert the <form> tags, IE and Firefox will push the items in the cell below it down too far. It basically looks like its sticking in an additional line break. When I remove the <form> tags, it looks just fine.

To see a live version of the issue I'm talking about, checkout this link (http://24.248.98.39:90/).

The top bar needs to be a total of roughly 92px high. With the <form> tags, it pushes it well over 110px high and you can see the gradient background starts to repeat.

Any ideas?

Ah, much better. I knew it would help to have a second set of eyes on it. Thanks for correcting my blindness four1seven!

Kirupa comes through, yet again.

Rot roh, Shaggy. It looks like that fix worked for IE, but not for Firefox. Any ideas there? Try taking a look again with Firefox.

Hmm... well I suppose. But how could I employ CSS to fix this problem?

Well, I can't believe that there's no way to make this work in Firefox without cobbling together some elaborate CSS. Does anyone know what exactly may be causing this? Is there some incompatible tag I'm using in the page?
