use...

style="margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0;"

... on your table & form elements.

That practiceboard looks like a good little tool, for looking at code posted here etc.

Maybe while you're at it, you can start using css instead of font tags.

Put the <form> tags outside of the <td> tags. Might not be correct HTML (or maybe it is?:p), but that works for me (it's what I always do).

Well, it's not correct XHTML :). I used to do exactly the same thing though, until I discovered that a little bit of CSS does the trick.

It does!

Read the XHTML part of www.w3schools.com

My template site has awful coding. I want to change it, but I don't have that much time at the moment.

Also that's why I want to change to CSS, asap.

Say I have a site I'm going to build this week. What are the short term and long term cons of not going the XHTML route? (instead using of old-school tables)

It's supposedly easier to edit if you go the XHTML route. So if you wanted to change all the link colours, you would just edit one part of a file. Same with anything else. With HTML you would have to change all the <font> tags.
