Form breaking table

A form sent from Network Solutions for me -
http://005a1f2.netsolhost.com/contactform.htm - was simply copy/paste from
between the body tags, and launched here -
http://005a1f2.netsolhost.com/contact_test.htm. You'll see it breaks the header
graphic midpage. All I did was paste the NS form code into a child page that
worked well before, and it does this. Murray mentioned

"It's probably the margin on the form tag. Use this CSS - form { margin:0; }"

I don't know exactly where / how to implement this in the code, but the form
seems to be the culprit. All help resolving the broken graphic is very
appreciated.

Hello,

Add the CSS Murray gave you to your contactform.css page, just after the title class.

Like so:

..title {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
form {margin:0;}

Take care,
Tim

I added the css snippet, and as you'll see,
http://005a1f2.netsolhost.com/contact_test.htm, the graphic is still broke. Now
the page background is black, the menu text is extremely small, and I can't
really modify much, it's all the style sheet it seems. I need the graphic
fixed, the table & form bgd need tg be #000000, page bgd needs to be #5A3C55.
How do I acheive this?

Hello,

How about changing this (just above your form tag):

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4">

to this:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">

Does that get rid of the gap?

Another option would be have the header images in it's own, seperate table.
Then start another table that holds the nav and all the rest. That way, the
cells your current header images are in wouldn't be affected by the colspans,
nested tables and form currently in the same table.

Take care,
Tim
