No, you haven't. You've put a border on the div that contains the form.

The form is taking up as much vertical space as you have told it to, 10
pixels. Firebug confirms this. It's the div that is taking up extra space,
probably the forms margin-bottom.

You are running the browser in quirks mode where it emulates all the bugs
from older versions. Supply a valid doctype (strict HTML 4.01) and things
will change considerably.
