Well, if I under stand you correctly, insert the form field before you add the layout, after it is in, then copy and paste the layout in the form field

thx team , its fine i ve done that already on the other parts of my site, but i have a layout that is set as a template and made a table of 100% width and 30pix in height within as an editable region, now this bit will crop up on varoius pages with different form elements, i just think it would not be economical to create a template for each of these pages, when ever i add the form tag in it just creates an extra line , is there anyway at all i can eliminate the extra unwanted line one way or any other ?

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you have and what you want. Do you have a link we could look at?
You might try adding this to the element:
style="display: inline;"

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Hiya,
Forms are treated kinda like a paragraph, ie you get a line break at the end.
To get round it just do the following in your stylesheet:
form {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

No!
form {margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
No units for zero value measures!

really! 0px == 0pt == 0% == 0em et cetera.
You need unit measures for all other values.

But is it proper to omit the unit? Or is it just that it makes no difference?

It is proper to omit the unit, yes. It's invalid to include it when the value is zero. Of course not including it also saves you some infinitesimal bandwidth.
