Stacking forms without excess space

Hi,

I need to use four or more forms on a page and want them to
display as compactly as possible.  It seems that forms
inherently want to render in both NS and MSIE with an extra
line of white space below them, that is, below the closing form
tag.  The only workaround I've seen used for this is to nest both
the open and close form tags in open and close tr tags
respectively.  Although this doesn't validate, it seems to work
OK in NS and MSIE.  I've made a few quick examples to help
illustrate this:
http://www.roundridge.com/formtest_td.html
http://www.roundridge.com/formtest_tr.html

The first is valid code, but has extra space.  The latter is not
valid code, but works and solves the problem.

Any thoughts or better solutions?  (I've tried not putting each
form in it's own cell, and everything else I could think of to no
avail.)

TIA,

Dave Alders
