hi tamara

looks pretty good in win ie5

anyhow, here's your code:

  <tr>
    <!-- search table -->
     <form method="get" action="http://search.atomz.com/search/">
      <td class="maroon" colspan="5">
          <div align="right">
             <input size="10" maxlength="35" name="sp-q" />
               &nbsp;
             <input type="submit" value="Search" />
             <input type="hidden" name="sp-a" value="sp10017342" />
               &nbsp; &nbsp;
         </div>
      </td>
     </form>
    <!--  end search table -->
   </tr>

try removing the div and putting the align in the td

try adding valign=bottom to the td

try removing the &nbsp; which introduces a line-height of text (you're
using a spacer image on the page anyway, so using it here too won't hurt)

if all that doesn't work, add some more cellpadding (maybe nest another
table) and then the mis-alignment -- that is what you were worrying about,
right? -- won't be as noticeable

oh, and if you move your form tags outside the table, it won't give a
validation error
