It is probably the default bottom margin of 1em on form applied by many
browsers in quirks mode (although some do it whether in quirks mode or
not).
Leave the </form> in (assuming there is a corresponding <form>,
validate the HTML to be sure).
Set form { margin-bottom: 0 } in the styles, e.g. by using <form
style="margin-bottom: 0"> at the point of opening it, although using
external stylesheets is usually a better way to organize your styles.
Don't be tempted to leave </form> out. You may get the display you want
but you're relying on how browsers heuristically patch up invalid
markup, which is risky and likely to bite you later.
