Without using the CSS style mentioned, there isn't a way to get rid of it, unfortunately. If you look, there's the same whitespace at the top of the first form as well. (At least, when I view it.) It's 'built-in' to the form when it's on nothing but the base document page.

Yeah, that appears to be the problem. I'm not sure if it's IE's fault, either. Netscape (4.7, at least, it's the only other browser on my work machine) adds the space as well. I think it's just one of those things. I have no clue why they would add it, though.

It's the same with headings. All my sites have margin properties for every heading in the style sheets, because all headings have a large amount of default space underneath them. I can't imagine why they added this.
