CSS - Lots Of Whitespace At The Bottom Of My Div!

I am trying to create a personal website for employers. Already have the web domain and figure its a great way to brush up on everything.

I am trying to get rid of the whitespace that constantly surrounds my div or table tags. I know about background-fill but that only seems to work in the html style and with only 1 background.

This is what I want.

Instead, I keep getting this annoying whitespace around everything that I cannot get rid of.

How do I fix this?

Test page.

In FF, the gap between the 2 horizontal lines at the bottom is more narrow then it is in IE.

Why? And how can i fix this?

Thanks for the help.

Joe.

If I place an image in a <td> there will be a three or four pixel gap under the image and the end of the cell. The only way to avoid this is to do

Code:

<td><img></td>

instead of
Code:

<td>
    <img>
</td>

are there any other ways?

I'm doing a new site with a 3col centered layout. On my left col i have 8 or 9 divs with an image in them. In IE it looks as desired but in *.MOZ browsers there is 2 or 3 pixels of space between each image.

Applying a bottom border to the image's containing div it shows the space is within the div and not between the divs.

Here is the Code

Code:

CSS
.left {
float:left;
position: relative; /*** IE needs this or the contents won't show outside the parent container. ***/
width: 177px;    /*** Critical left col/divider dimension value ***/
margin-left: -176px;    /*** Critical left col/divider dimension value ***/
}

*>html .left {width:176px;}   /*** Fix only for IE/Mac ***/

.container-left {
width: 175px;    /*** Critical left col dimension value ***/
padding-bottom: 110px;   /*** To keep content from going underneath the AP bottom boxes ***/ 
}

.menu-main{
	margin-left:1px;
        border-bottom:1px solid black;

}


XHTML
<div class="left">
	<div class="container-left">
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/home_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/awards_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/designawards_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/membership_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/crewtraining_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/events_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/newsletter_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/pressreleases_off.jpg" /></div>
		<div class="menu-main"><img src="images/contactus_off.jpg" /></div>
		</div>
	</div> <!-- end left div -->

Any suggestions?

The images are all 174px in width

Basially theres quite a large extent of whitespace above the text in IE7. Works fine in FF.

CSS:
Code:

#wwd 
{ 
width:550px; 
height:auto; 
font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
font-size:12px; 
padding:6px; 
}

HTML:
Code:

<div id="wwd">
<h3>This Is What I do!</h3>
<span class="style1">I design sites for individuals and small businesses that are visually unique, well built, and easily manageable. A site we can all be proud of and a site your visitors will find interesting and effective!</span></div>

Help would be great, regards, J.

and yes ryan420 i know what your going to say when (if) you see this thread link lol

Here's the website example: http://www.justuskennels.net

In the menu, for the IE6 & 7 issues, I'm using the whitespace fix as found he http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200610/closing_the_gap_between_list_items_in_ie/

The only problem is that when I hover over "Our Dogs" and the side menu slides out, the <li> for "Our Dogs" puts the whitespace back in. So, if you roll over the menu quickly, you'll see it jump by a few pixels on the hover.

If I'm not describing it well enough I'll try more, but does anyone know of a fix for the hovered <li> on the slide-out?

Navigation CSS:
Code:

/* Navigation Menu Styling */
#menu {	font-size:90%;
		margin:0px 0px 0px 17px;
		text-align: center;
		font-weight: bold;
		padding-bottom:50px;
		background:none;
		text-align:center;
		line-height:100%;
		} 

#menu ul {	list-style: none;
			margin: 0px;
			padding: 0px;
			width: 150px;
			}

#menu a {font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; display: block;}
#menu a {color:#000; text-decoration: none;}
#menu a:hover {color:#000;}
#menu li {position:relative; height:40px; line-height:40px; background:url(design/buttons.png);}
#menu li:hover {background-position:0 40px;}
#menu ul ul {position:absolute; top:0; left:100%; width:100%;}
div#menu ul ul, div#menu ul li:hover ul ul {display:none;}
div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul {display:block;}

I use Opera browser all the time and notice a couple problems while using Jupitor Portal script, the fault is on Opera so I need a way to fix this.

1. Block had some sort of padding or whitespace on the right side for some reason.
2. Search button width is short.

Problem in red: URL
Site: URL

CSS: URL

Can someone give me a solution or work around for this problem.

P.S: I'ved tried adding margin: 0; padding: 0; to con1 but that didn't work.

Hi there,

This is my first post here and already I'm asking for help.

I'm new to CSS layout and have read quite a few tutorials and "zeroed" my values for IE but have come across my first rendering issue which I hope you can help me with.

I've attached an image of the dreamweaver layout and how firefox is rendering the page as well as the source of the page in a txt file.

Why is the whitespace appearing in Firefox and not in IE?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Below is some code I scraped from a page in my application using firebug. The current code displays a series of row with what appears to be a blank row in between. I'm trying to figure out how I can reduce the vertical space. Thanks In Advance!
