Try it with 10px padding and you'll see Mozilla and IE behave pretty much the same.

no its still there in IE. Unless you wanna show us.

have you still got new-lines and tabs etc in the table cells code?

I think it is IE that sometimes decides some blocks need more space when it has these in, even if there's nothing in there to render on screen.

(so try putting the <td>...</td> all on ONE SINGLE line, and only have spaces inside the < > tags...

<td><form name="cell1"><input type="submit" image="cell1.gif"></form></td>

check that margin is 0px for <img>s and <input>s

Show us the offending page!

I took Dave's idea and modified it and it works in both the latest version of firefox and and earlier version, as well as mozilla 1.83 and Konqueror. Try the other idea and report back later. I shall put this in all my css's in the future.

  <form style="border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px;"

imaginemn's solution works like a charm. Very nice work! Great piece of code.

LazyJim " You could make all sorts of scripts like imaginemn's but depending on what you're actually doing you might not even need to put forms or javascript in there at all"

You are right, but if you want to send more than one piece of information to a script I think that you need a form. Serveral pieces of hidden information in the form. I could be wrong. Just my limited understanding of things

Sorry if I understood it completely wrong. I use <form> tag around the <tr> when I need to get rid of the form padding.
Like this: (I'm not sure if it works in Firefox though)

<table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <form name="form1">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><input type="image" border="0" name="imageField1" src="image.gif" width="116" height="36"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
  <form name="form2">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><input type="image" border="0" name="imageField2" src="image.gif" width="116" height="36"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
  <form name="form3">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><input type="image" border="0" name="imageField3" src="image.gif" width="116" height="36"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
  <form name="form4">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><input type="image" border="0" name="imageField4" src="image.gif" width="116" height="36"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
  <form name="form5">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><input type="image" border="0" name="imageField5" src="image.gif" width="116" height="36"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
</table>

[LazyJim]

instead of a form you COULD use javascript to add many 'variable=value' pairs in the end of the link href...
?name=Jim&Lazyness=Max

so that ina link would be <a href="http://www.example.com/yourpage.php?name=Jim&Lazyness=Max">...</a>

When a user click that link it like they clicked submit on in a GET method <form>. In fact you can use the ?variable=value to spoof GET method forms.

Forms are the better option though, as they don't require javascript.

Will the html validate like that?

[Fusion]

does it validate outside the table?

Actions of the forms is missing in the example but yes, html will validate like that.

So that would be the easiest solution.
