You first have to delve into the idiosyncrasies of HTML tables. If you've ever tried placing an HTML form inside a colored table, then you've probably run into an annoying bug in many browsers. When you place a radio button on a colored table background, some browsers show a white square around the button, ruining the colored table effect. Under new versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer you can now set a table's typeface just by wrapping a FONT tag around it.

If the Submit button on your form isn't properly placed within the FORM tag, the form won't send properly. Last month, we discussed three different ways to include a background image in your tables.

Otherwise your form may look different under Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
