Html error???

[Tom Caldwell]

Hi all, I'm having a strange html type error. The code below is the result of a servlet and works fine if there is only one line BUT if you repeat the lines from <FORM ... to </FORM> about 300 times which is what my servlet does and then view it in IE, not netscape, the table starts about halfway down the page. How can this be?
I'd be forever grateful if anyone tell me why?
-------
<FORM name='queryForm' ACTION=runservlet METHOD=POST>
<INPUT type='hidden' name='v1' value='abcdefg'>
<tr><td>123456</td></tr></form>

Thanks for any help

Your generated HTML doesn't seem very sensible. It is normal practice to start the form and the table once, then for each element just put out a <tr><td>....</td></tr>. generating a separate form for each element seems crazy.
The reason why you are getting a lot of blank space before your table is that you have the <input> tag and its surrounding spaces outside the table cell, so they are all grouped together before the table when it is displayed. Putting the <input> between the <td> and </td> should fix that.

Thanks Frank,
I didn't see that, and I was getting ready to do a major rewrite if I didn't find it soon.

No problem. Glad to help.
