Hmmm....forn_tag just produces an HTML form tag, right? Wonder why it would be different in IE?

I am looking at my login form, and it looks the same (save for everything being displayed larger).
However, I do see that the source code shows a

div style="margin:0;padding:0"

tag just inside the html form tag. Its acts_as_authenticated...so i didn't write it.

one day we'll be able to shoot the ie users

I'm using a form_tag helper to produce a search box in the sidebar of
my application layout. It looks fine in Firefox, but creates huge
padding top & bottom in IE6!

I'm trying to find a work-around solution to the problem, making the
browser desplays consistant.

Any suggestions?
