Mike, please state what Mozilla version you are using.

Seeing the same problems on 1.1alpha, win2k and 98. More generally, weir
behavior seems to result whenever a <form> tag is "hidden" inside the table -
i.e. inside the <table> tag, but outside the <td> tag. 

Most Browsers render the form tag as a paragraph break, so "hiding" it in a
table to avoid extra witespace in formatting is common practice. MOZ seems to
create an empty <TD> element to wrap around the form tag floating inside the
table, causing all kinds of formatting hickups.

Attachment: A simple 2x2 table with a form around one of the cells. Renders incorrectly.

Should be a 2x2 table, but the first cell has <FORM>...</FORM> around the <TD>
This renders properly in Opera/IE. The opening <FORM> tag seems to get wrapped
by mozilla into a new (empty) <TD> element. This gives the first row 3 cells
instead of 2, and as a result the last row also gets one empty cell tacked on
to the end.

I'm not seeing the problem on a 6/19/2 trunk build. I think jkeiser fixed a bug 
dealing with this issue about 2 weeks ago. wfm
