webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Just wondering... you know how sometimes when you view a layout with tables in Netscape you get these gaping gaps at the top and the bottom of the table? Usually you have to go in and take out any height figures for the tables and then re-upload to get rid of the big blanks.... in Dreamweaver anyway. I was wondering if settin the Table Height to '0' would have a bad effect in browsers? Anyone done this before? Nat Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Don, If you go to this page: http://www.natalie-brown.com/music.htm You will see there is a 'gap' at the top near the buy CD part and also there is another gap at the bottom of the page. I get these a lot in Netscape 7.1 Will see if other pages are displaying the same behavior. Nat Quote

TCH-Don Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Are you refering to the gap at the bottom between the blue background and the footer? Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Also found these on the site I am currently re-working: http://www.indiemanagers.com/membership_directory.htm (top) http://www.indiemanagers.com/industry_events.htm (bottom) Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Are you refering to the gap at the bottom between the blue background and the footer? Yup... all those gaps... they shouldn't be there. They don't show up in IE6 Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 on the last one http://www.indiemanagers.com/industry_events.htm(bottom) the last table is after a </tr> there should be a new <tr> brfore starting the inserted table </td> </tr> need a <tr> here and then a <td> </table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <hr> <div class="imacopy">©2002-2004 IMA | <a href="http://www.mbstia.com/design.htm" target="_blank">Site Designed & Maintained by MBSTIA Design Division</a> | <a href="privacy.htm" target="_top">Privacy Policy</a> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <div align="center" class="imasmall"></div> </body> </html> Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 On the top one I see a lot of table celss with a very large height value, not sure why. <td bgcolor="#663333" height="30236" valign="top" align="center"> Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Yeah those table height values are up there sometimes when i check the code. I have no idea why that happens. Which link was this one from: <td bgcolor="#663333" height="30236" valign="top" align="center"> Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 in (http://www.indiemanagers.com/membership_directory.htm) near the top of the body <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('navigation/nav_bar_r2_c2_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c4_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c6_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c8_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c10_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c12_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c14_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c16_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c18_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c20_f2.gif','navigation/nav_bar_r2_c22_f2.gif')" bgcolor="#663333" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#666666" alink="#000000" background="layout/scanline2.gif"> <table width="760" border="8" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" bordercolor="#cc9999"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#663333" height="30236" valign="top" align="center"> sorry its 4am and must sleep good night Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 I think I fixed that one Don.. can you double check.. http://www.indiemanagers.com/industry_events.htm Argh... I can't figure out why this always happens in pages I design. Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Hmmm doesn't look fixed on my end. I might have put the <tr> and the <td> in the wrong spots. I added them here: p class="ima"><b><font color="#cc9999">To submit an event for listing on this page, send an email with event details to: <a href="mailto:info@indiemanagers.com?subject=Event Submission for IMA Site">infoATindiemanagers.com</a></font></b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </table> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <hr> <div class="imacopy">©2002-2004 IMA | <a href="http://www.mbstia.com/design.htm" target="_blank">Site Designed & Maintained by MBSTIA Design Division</a> | <a href="privacy.htm" target="_top">Privacy Policy</a> </div> </td> </tr> </table> Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) Well it looks OK now, but I had to resort to my old trick of going in to the code and deleting the table heigts. Problem is, when I modify the page and upload without checking and double checking those table hights I get that gap problem. If I set those heights to "0" on all tables, what would happen? EDIT: I set all the table heights to "0" and nothing bad seems to happen in Netscape 7.1 or IE6. Gonna check the other browsers. Would setting table height to "0" have a bad effect in older browsers? What would the reprecussions of doing this be, if any? Nat Edited June 29, 2004 by webgyrl Quote
webgyrl Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Oh wait a minute... I just noticed that on my ForArtists page the table was set for text to be in the middle. Maybe this has something to do with it. Tho the table heights were very high. I set all table heigts to "0" on this one as well. http://www.natalie-brown.com/forartists.htm Looks like what I did fixed that. But let's see what happens when I make an edit and don't check or change the table height values.... BRB EDIT: hmmmm now there is a ton of space at the bottom of this page: http://www.natalie-brown.com/forartists.htm There must be another table in there that I am not seeing for some reason. EDIT 2: Yes, there was indeed another table... I guess the trick is to set all the table heights to "0" and make sure I get em all. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Yep they are all looking good now. time to switch to hand coding Seriously, I do not use DW, so mabe some else has run in to this and can help. Quote
