Form messing with table cell

Hi the code bellow is a table i created in php and i looks great in Chrome and Firefox but in Ie it looks awful.
The problem is where the form is created it is making a gap underneath the button inside the cell therefore stretching the whole row height so it matches. My question is what is wrong with the html that it works in Chrome and Firefox but not IE. BTW dont worry about the css i have removed it and it still looks good in Chrome But Not in IE so its not that

Code: Select all

                echo "<table border='1px' id='SearchTable' cellspacing='0px' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<th width='200px'>OrderID</th>
<th width='200px'>Purchase Order Number</th>
<th width='140px'>Date</th>
<th width='140'>Account Number</th>
<th width='140'>Supplier Name</th>
<th width='140'>TradingPartnerID</th>
</tr>";
                    try {
                    while ($oresultset = sqlsrv_fetch_array($oresults)) {
                        echo "<tr>";
                        echo "<form action='ExpandOrders.php' method='POST' id='blaa'>";
                        echo "<td>" . $oresultset['OrderID'] . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>" . $oresultset['DocumentNumber'] . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>" .date('d-M-Y',  strtotime($oresultset['DocumentDate'])) . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>" . $oresultset['AccountNumber'] . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>" . $oresultset['Supplier'] . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>" . $oresultset['TradingPartnerID'] . "</td>";
                        echo "<td>";
                        echo "<form action='ExpandOrders.php' method='POST' id='blaa' readonly='readonly'>";
                        echo "<input type='hidden' name='OrderExpandID' value='".$oresultset['OrderID']; echo "'>";
                        echo "<input type='submit' value='View Order' allign='Center'>";
                        echo "</form>";
                        echo "</td>";
                        echo "</form>";
                        echo "</tr>";
                    }
                    echo "</table>";
                    
                }
 catch (Exception $e){
     echo 'Message: ' .$e->getMessage();
 }

You need to put the form outside the <table> or inside the <td></td>. Why do you have nested forms?
