how to close the gap between the forums

[gbox master]

i have a small gap between the forums and i am searching for the setting
there must be a template where i can edit this i hope
maybe some one can direct me in a direction for this ?

see the screenshot and you will see the gap between the forums
there is a red line at the top midle and on the right and left
i would really like then to be in one line
and also close all the gaps between the rest of the forums

You must have a break between the tables or the tables have cellpadding (or is it cellspacing? I always get those mixed up). It's hard to tell without being able to see the source code.

It's a custom style so you really should ask the style designer for help. If it's your own style, then you should give us a link to the article you used to break the forums up like that.

unfortunatly i dont have both
the one that made the template i have no contact with him anymore
and about the source code i dont even know what that is
i only have the xml file and the dirs with all gifs etc etc

and i am searching my eyes green and purple to find this cellpadding or spacing

[Lynne]

The source I am talking about is what you get when you view any page in a browser and right-click View Page Source. You can then see the html for the page and see if there is a space in there. Before you look at the source, go to vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code and you can see which template you need to modify.

Doubt it is cellspacing or cellpadding. It seems more like an extra line break (<br />) tag at/near the beginning of the template.

[gbox master]

ah thnx m8 i forgot about that one now i can search all templates again for that tag
or maybe you have any idea where to find this ?
anyway thnx for the reply

its in one of the forumhome_level templates. I forget which one, but whatever one it is will have a <br /> at the very end, (or it maybe <br>) depending on who coded it

[gbox master]

thnx alot
30 seconds and it was gone

just one more thing is there a way to put a code in instead of the <br/> to give it 1 or 2 px space ?

maybe with cellpadding/spacing ?

[Lynne]

Or put in a space that is only 2px high?
<p style="font-size:2px;">&nbsp;</p>

[gbox master]

Or put in a space that is only 2px high?
<p style="font-size:2px;">&nbsp;</p>

so when i am correct it must be something like this ?

<p style="font-size:2px;">&nbsp;</p>
<!-- top category table setup -->
<table width="100%" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_back.gif)" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="140" height="27" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_left.gif" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
<td width="100%" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_back.gif)" valign="center">

[Lynne]

That's what I would try.

[gbox master]

thnx i did try that but then i get the big gap back again so with the 1 px it dont work
if anybody has a idea on how to change this code so it wil get a small gap from like 2 mm then it would be perfect

this is the complete code from that template

do this


<div><img src="clear.gif" height="2px" /></div>


Or even

<div style="height: 2px;">&nbsp;</a>

[gbox master]

do this


<div><img src="clear.gif" height="2px" /></div>
