edit the code i gave you

change this bit

<FORM action="home.php" method=GET name=sl_form> 
<SELECT name=sl onChange="javascript: document.sl_form.submit()"> 
{section name=ai loop=$all_languages} 
<OPTION value="{$all_languages[ai].code}"{if $store_language eq $all_languages[ai].code} selected{/if}>{$all_languages[ai].language}</OPTION> 
{/section} 
</SELECT> 
</FORM> 

to

<table>
<tr>
<FORM action="home.php" method=GET name=sl_form> 
<td>

<SELECT name=sl onChange="javascript: document.sl_form.submit()"> 
{section name=ai loop=$all_languages} 
<OPTION value="{$all_languages[ai].code}"{if $store_language eq $all_languages[ai].code} selected{/if}>{$all_languages[ai].language}</OPTION> 
{/section} 
</SELECT> 
 

</td>
</FORM>
</tr>
</table>

basically tuck the form tags inside the table row tags otherwise it gives the balnk space as you mentioned
