Search Form in Header

[nickchrisless]

I'm trying to make a header for my forum. Whenever I try to copy the search form information from the vBulletin template and paste it into the appropriate <td>, it stretches out my table leaving the header unaligned.

Here is my table... like said, it's all laid out perfectly until the search form is entered. Then it becomes a bit stretched out vertically. You'll notice this by looking at the middle links, or the "remember me" section to the right...

The form of the table should continue to look like:

Here is the code (HTML):

<table id="Table_01" width="778" height="87" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="images/header_bg.jpg">
	<tr>
		<td rowspan="10" width="295" height="87"></td>
		<td colspan="5" rowspan="2" width="332" height="34" align="center">
		<!-- Search Form -->
		<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">

Nevermind, I figured it out...

I forgot to add in the margin=0 and padding=0 to my form. That did the trick. I also should have made that code in CSS.

Thanks anyways! (Please delete)
