Search Box Position works fine in Chrome and Firefox but not IE Please help

[mboley370]

The center of the search box wont line up in the middle in IE, but will perfectly in Firefox and Chrome.  Is there a way to define the form height and center it within the cell?

 

 

<form name="search_form" id="search_form" action="index.php" method="get"    padding-left:0px;">  <td width="100" background="../menu buttons/input_bg.png">

<input type="text" border: 0px class="input-text" name="tag" id="tag" value="" style="width: 100px;  background-position: -14px 0px; height:37px; padding-left:0px;">

    </td>

          <td width="63" background="../menu buttons/input_bg.png"><input type="submit" class="input-button" value="Search" style="  width: 60px; height:36px;" /></td></form>
