Tables in IE and Foxfire

Tables in IE and Foxfire - SOLVED

So I made some tables, I love tables, and they show perfect in Foxfire but not in IE. Oh the joys of making things look good.

What happens is in IE it will put a void space around all the rows in my table, which is annoying.

Now I do have some boxes with sizes in them, is this messing IE up? Should I put sizes for the over all table? the sizes are in pixles and not percents.

Have you set your cell spacing and padding to "0"?

 

[godde]

cellpadding, cellspacing and border are all set to 0.

The gap is not showing up between colums but only rows.

If you have the tables filled with images... make sure there is no space at all between the <td> and the <image> tags.

Send me the url... i'll take a look.

Solved!

Yeah, there seems to be a problem with TD tags and IE when I code I like all table tags on a line and then what is in a cell to be on an indented line, makes for easier editing. Well IE is reading a line break at the end of my code because I hit enter after the open TD tag.

For Example the following in IE will put a line break or BR between it and the next cell or element.

<table>
<tr><td>
Text here
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
Other stuff
</td></tr>
</table>

Will look like:

Text here

Other stuff here

The Following will not add the line break in IE:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Text here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Other Stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

Will look like:

Text here
Other Stuff

Also to note, when nesting tables, make sure the new table tag comes right after the TD tag and not on a new line ot again you will have errors.

I spent 5 hours figuring this out ROFL

Internet Explorer requires some elements to have content in them, otherwise they won't have "layout". Put   (non-breaking space) in every empty cell of the table.
