Hi

If anyone can test this I'd appreciate it; assume it does not work for
outlook but hoping it works for sunbird:

I'm having problems with a couple of froms in IE6 that are adding some
sort of margin or padding above the form. It is happening on both forms
one of which has a hidden element in that I initially thought may be the
problem, however, the other form has no hidden element.

Can I anyone shed any light on what may be the problem?

Thanks

Mart

Yep, works fine in OS X iCal but on outlook:
'vCalendar/iCalendar Import failed. The input file may be corrupt.'

Thanks Ben
I am assuming that will always be the case exporting from iCal to lookOut.
I'll research this but doubt there is a simple solution.

Hi Mart

Remove all line breaks from the form, ie. get all the form tags to run into
each other, should remove all the extra margins etc. from ie6.

if your forms are in tables try putting the start form tag between <table>
and <tr> like this: <table><form action="" method=""><tr>....

and close it at the opposite end of the SAME table: </tr></form></table>

this eliminates padding

This might help, or it might screw up some other bit of your layout...

form {
display: inline;
}

Cheers

Paul

Cheers Tim - I was starting to fear it was proprietary, but that
proves it is not. If anyone knows about outlook I would appreciate it,
otherwise I will check and report in case anyone's interested.

To clarify, I'm using Outlook 2003 which superceeds the mentioned
patch. I can confirm that there's still a problem importing the ics
file into Outlook 2003.

Soz, just reading my post back it wasn't too clear.

I almost always end up putting:

form {margin:0; padding:0;}

to deal with this

Thanks Dom, I may try that, but for now the Marvellous Mr Silver's
technique of displaying forms inline is doing the job.

Thank you Marvellous Mr Silver...wherever you are...

Think I might start writing a comic book. It has all the hallmarks, mild
mannered man Paul Silver becomes cyber space super hero fighting for
validation wherever he sees corrupt code. Or I might get back to adding
copy to these sites. Tough call.

If you do go the comic book route I can let you borrow my cape so you
can get the colouring right.

Paul (more of a cider-space super hero)
