Using tables to lay out forms



Different browsers and different platforms display form elements differently, in appearance and size. No Web authoring tool guarantees that fill-in forms you design for the Web will look the same across platforms. With Adobe GoLive, however, you can get predictable results if you place form elements in HTML tables, rather than on layout grids or in a simple flow of HTML. If you decide to use a layout grid, because some browsers display forms as much as 50% larger, be careful not to group your elements too tightly. If you use HTML tables, increase the height of the rows and width of the cells and preview your forms frequently on all targeted browsers.
