What's with this space? I CANNOT figure it out.

FreeBaGeL · 03-25-2005, 09:13 PM

Here's the website I'm laying out for my fantasy football league:

http://www.clan-loh.com/dynasty/

The space I'm referring to is between the word "home" and the red block below it, I want the two red sections to touch each other.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/77846-whats-space-i-cannot-figure-out.html

Here is the code from that section.

makeHeader() creates the header image.

Code:

makeHeader();

echo '<table border="0" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0">';
echo '<tr>';
//left side
echo '<td>';
	echo '<table border="0" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0" width="150">';
	echo '<tr>';
	echo '<td bgcolor="E51818" align="center">';
		echo '<br>';
		echo '<A HREF="">Rules</A>';
	echo '</td>';
	echo '</tr>';


etc...

Here's the code from makeHeader()

Code:

function makeHeader()
{
	echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
   	echo '<tr class="header">';
       		echo '<td width="620">';
			include "header.html";
		echo '</td>';
       		echo '<td width="100%"> <img src="headerMiddle.gif" width="100%" height="100"> </td>';
       		echo '<td width="150"> <img src="headerRight.gif"> </td>';
   	echo '</tr>';
	echo '</table>';
}

Any ideas? This has been driving me nuts.

Try this....

Code:

makeHeader();

echo '<table border="0" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0">';
echo '<tr>';
//left side
echo '<td valign=top>';
	echo '<table border="0" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0" width="150">';
...

Unfortunately, that didn't fix it :\.

Not sure if this is related, but I also noticed that down at the bottom of the page it still says "Waiting for www.clan-loh.com..." even when the page appears to be loaded, and the stop button is disabled.

Hey, not sure if this will help, but try setting all of the table borders to 1. Then maybe you can see which cell, row or table needs to be fixed.

Well hmm...

This doesn't belong in the middle of your HTML code:

Code:

</BODY>
</HTML>

Here's where the problem is... (Mmm, pretty...)

Code:

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=150>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#E51818" align="center"><br><A HREF="rules.php">Rules</A></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#E51818" align="center"><br><A HREF="">Standings</A></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#E51818" align="center"><br><A HREF="">Rosters</A></td>
  </tr><br>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#E51818" align="center"><br><A HREF="">Dynasty Dollars</A></td>
  </tr>

Get rid of that break outside your table cells and all should be good (keep the "valign" part from earlier in there)

PS, your code above was modified so it may differ slightly from the original.

Hope this helps.

Ah that did it, thanks.

I must be blind or something because I looked through forever looking for a stupid mistake like that. Even after you told me you found a linebreak outside of the table columns I still couldn't find it just by looking through, I had to do a find next for it.

Thanks a ton.

No problem, glad that worked for ya.

You might want to throw some whitespace and formatting in your html. It's not necessary but obviously makes problems like these easier to track down.

A bit of a continuation on this. This works out great in Mozilla, the red on the tab touches the red on the navigation bar seamlessly.

However, in IE there's still a tiny gap inbetween the two that definitely stands out.

Any way to make the two flush in both browsers or is that just something I'm gonna have to live with in IE?
