And outside specification. :) If you run a page with the code above through
the W3C validator, it will throw a long list of errors all related to those
two tags.

Brent, since you only have one form on this page, you can put the
<form></form> pair outside the first table like this:

<body>
 <form>
  <table>
   [...buncha stuff...]
  </table>
 </form>
</body>

It collapses that cell around your <input> and validates as well.

(There are a some other issues with that page concerning validation,
too...mostly lack of "alt" attributes for you <img> tags.)

Good luck,
David
