ron,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: From: Ron White <rwhite@edverify.com>

: Because you have to have the <FORM> either in
: a cell OR completely outside the table(preferred)
: for it to work properly.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as long as the <form> tags are nested correctly in relation to the rest of
the table tags then it will work no matter where you place the form tags.
in fact, it's a fairly well-known hack to place your form tags between your
table and tr tags so you don't get that annoying whitespace that usually
comes along with a form.

<table>
  <form>
  <tr>
    <td>some stuff</td>
    <td><input type="text"></td>
  </tr>
  </form>
</table>

hope this clarifies things,
