Why are my tables doing this?

[incarnus]

For some reason, all the tables on my site are adding a few pixels at the bottom that are just getting fillled with a solid color (see the attached picture). Is there a way to stop this? Normally I woulden't care, but I'm trying to fill the cell with a background and it looks really nasty.

Is there a way to get rid of this?

Thanks!

try lowering cellpadding/cellspacing...?

[Rufus69]

post your code?

Cell spacing and padding are both zero.

Here's code:

Remove all unnecessary whitespace within the <td> tags, including newlines.

Ok, I tried that and it still seems to be doing it. I attached the current header without white space to my previous post.

Did I miss something?

Thanks for helping me with this!

There's still some whitespace:

...border="0">   <a href="index.php...

You have to remove all of it. What's happening is that a space character at the normal browser font is higher than the images' heights, so the table is being scaled in favor of the spaces.

Hey, it worked! Thanks so much!

I guess next time I'll have to double-check myself before I come crying back here!

Thanks again!

Glad to help. It's a common mistake with HTML tables, hence why HTML is such a horrible language for page design nowadays
