  WP seriously needs some built-in table functionality, because it’s seriously messing up my simple table!

  I want two elements side by side instead of one on top of the other, so I figured I’d use a table (since WP turns every carriage return into a new paragraph). After working out a border problem thanks to a search of these forums (fora?), I’m left with a valign problem – My form elements are vertically misaligned, despite using valign=”middle”. This is my code; am I missing something simple?

  <table border=0 style="border:0;margin:0; width="325">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;>
<form action="http://ww#.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="userid">
<input type="hidden" name="product" value="Pure Amore hand and body soap">
<input type="hidden" name="price" value="3.25">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://amoresoap.ca/products">
<input type="Submit" value="Add to cart">
</form>
</td>
<td valign="middle" style="border:0;margin:0;padding:0;>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://ww#.aitsafe.com/cf/review.cfm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE="userid">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Show Cart">
</FORM>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

  Note: I’ve removed my actual userid and secure server ID from the above code. the style component of the table and td tags came from another WP forum post, and solved my border problem.
