HTML Table Leaves Spaces

[fjm777]

Whenever I try to use an HTML Table is put lots of space before the table. What wrong? Should I be using different tags?

Thanks.

Hmm, in what context? Are you trying to use HTML in the forums or on a website? (I'm not an HTML expert, but I do have some coding experience).

 

[Captain Hank]

Oh yeah, and what tags are you using?

I don't know exactly what you're talking about since I don't know what the code is or even what the table looks like, but try putting cellpadding="0" or cellspacing="0". That may solve your problem.

sounds like you have some other code between the row tags. Anything outside the row or cells will be placed above the table starting point.

<table>
	 <tr><td>cell one</td></tr><br>
	 <tr><td>cell 2</td></tr>
</table>

The "br" tag between the rows in the example above would be added above the table instead of between the rows.

I talking about making a table in a post. I didn't have any other tags just the proper table ones and when I submitted my post it put the table way down the page leaving a lot of space.

Well I cant even get a table to appear in this thread. I used the HTML above and it just showed the html not the table. Maybe I'm crazy.

Let me ask it this way. If I want to put a table into a post how do I do it.

Thanks.

HTML is turned off in this thread. It's shown at the bottom of the page on the left. The table I posted should work fine, but you will need to remove the "br" tag. Give it try on the test boards.

make sure there is no white space in your post. If the board supports it, do the code like:

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

instead of

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

I think it's because the forum automatically interprets Line Break characters as <br /> tags.

Good point. Always forget the auto replacement of the CRLF.
