I ran into an issue today with the way IE6 (uuuggghhh!) treats the
button created by merb's delete_button helper. IE adds extraneous
spaces above and below the form element that holds the button's input
tag (discussed here - 
http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tips/html/removing_space_padding_from_form_tag.php3
), which produces result that is inconsistent with other browsers.

It seems that the problem can be overcome fairly easily by applying a
zero margin to the style on the form element. The problem is that the
delete_button helper, as far as I can tell, doesn't provide any way to
apply that attribute. Something like :style => 'margin: 0' gets
applied to the inner submit input element, not the form as a whole,
which is what is required.

It's simple enough to create the button without the helper and apply
the appropriate styling to the form element, though it's a bit
annoying to have to take this route. Alternatively I could hack the
helper, but I'm wondering if anyone has any other bright ideas.

Mark.
