Large space between logo and navbar

[powerful_rogue]

Hi,

I normally use firefox and my site appears fine, however I looked at the site today using IE7 and noticed a large white space between the logo and the navbar.

The only appears in IE7 and not FF. Ive had a look through the settings, but not too sure where to look.

Anyone have any idea why this only shows in IE and any idea how I can reduce the gap? Ive attatched the screenshot of how it appears ibn IE.

my site is www.doverlocals.co.uk

Many thanks

Dave

I'm not sure if that is the cause but you may want to add the </tr> tag:

</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

Thanks for your reply.

Ive put the </tr> in but made no difference

Thanks anyway

Unless someone gets to it first, I'll check further sometime tomorrow.

I think I may have found the problem. There are inconsistencies with "&nbsp;". The location is the navigation links between lines:

<!-- top nav buttons bar -->

to

<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Between these lines in your navbar template find all "&nbsp". Notice that it's missing the ";". Without it will create a line break instead of a character space. So replace all instances to "&nbsp;".

For instance, in your Arcade code you have:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://www.doverlocals.co.uk/images/...v_download.gif" alt="Arcade" border="0" />&nbsp<a href="arcade.php?">Arcade</a></td>&nbsp

But it should be:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://www.doverlocals.co.uk/images/...v_download.gif" alt="Arcade" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="arcade.php?">Arcade</a></td>&nbsp;

I would have supplied the entire code change but for some reason two of your <td> lines could not be posted. Just go line by line and make the relevant changes. Let me know how it goes.

I'll give it a go over the next couple of days and let you know. I would do it sooner but tucked up at work now till Tuesday.

Thanks for your help, its greatly appreciated.

I'll check back. If for some reason I miss your next reply in this thread PM me.

Thanks Freesteyelz.

I went through the navbar and made all the alterations but for some reason I still have the massive white space when the site is viewed in IE, but not in Firefox.

Very strange

Please post that entire section of code. There may be something I have missed.
