Hi

The only way I can think around this is to use stylesheets to remove the
margin / padding around the form element. Either the margin or line spacing
or padding should remove the forced space.  I haven't tried it on forms, but
I know it works on heading elements, in theory it should work.

The other question is does it have to be different forms?
