HTML - Double Spacing Issue
I'm coding a simple HTML email in BBedit. Everything looks perfect and opens up fine in most email client, Gmail, yahoo, hotmail... all but Outlook 2007. Apparently Outlook doesn't like HTML because it keeps adding an extra space between sentences and extra spaces after all my <p> and <br /> tags.
Does anyone know what code I have to add to fix this issue? I've searched the web for the past two days and can't find an a clear answer. Thanks! Similar TutorialsI've got a scanned in document that has been processed by OCR - Omnipage - and saved as html. The paragraphs often list five or six items. Most of the paragraphs are single space but some are double spaced. In the original all are single spaced. I would like them all to be single spaced. The code seems very complicated with 'spans' and 'divs' and 'box' and 'style' and long lists of parameters repeated frequently. Too frequently I imagine, machine generated stuff, but I'm not an html coder. The point is I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was that caused one para to be double spaced and another to be single spaced. Here's a sample of the code that causes double spacing (hope its okay to put snippets of code in these posts, moderator? ) <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To be informed of, and involved in, Centre Management and practices;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To have accessibility to information about the Centre through written policies and programs; and </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt;">* To be provided with support and assistance in the parenting role. </span></p> <p style="margin: 4.8px 0px 9.6px 9.6px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: normal;"> </p> </div> <div class="Box" style="border: 0pt none rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 549.65pt; left: 99.15pt; top: 1107px; height: 192px;"> <p What I'm planning to do now is copy the whole section and paste to notepad to get rid of all html and then pick it up again and put it back into html. I've tried NVU, Frontpage and Dreamweaver and I can't find a way in any of them to simply strip out all the crap and - obviously - I can't find a way to strip out this double spacing thing. regards, ab Hi there. I am upkeeping a website in wordpess and one of the posts has links which always appear to be double-spaced. I want them to be single-spaced. I have tried changing around the html coding and such but it has not changed the spacing. I don't know much about html so my attempts have been experimentational. The html tags in there are ul, li and a href=. I've tried taking each out to no avail. What should I do? Thank you very much for your help. I hand coded my website myself, but whilst working perfectly in IE, there are some problems when viewing it using Firefox. Specifically, the table rows have double-spacings (scroll down to the 'Education' section he www.lombrozo.co.uk/resume.html), and also table borders have a 3D look (a black border to emphasise the shadow), again, this shadow is not visible in IE... Any ideas anyone? Any help would be most appreciated! http://www.mattburnsey.com/test.htm I'm having trouble getting the tv and the mirror to stay connected. I should have room to widen the tv iframe a little more and I've tried cellspacing and cellpadding. What am I not trying that I should be? Thanks. I am having 2 issues with html coding, First off here ****HIT MUTE OR TURN VOLUME DOWN BEFORE CLICKING**** MY tables are too close together and i can not figure out how to space them out. Secondly on the first table (the hockey playoff bracket) I want to center the text but when i try to use the only align=center(or something like that i have it used in the table below) it clears out the next cell, removing the bracket. Can you help me fix these 2 issues please. Thank You tech-chef there is a problem can go through the URL below and open it in IE and any other browser like mozilla or chrome etc the mid section is not working properly it seems in IE as more spaced while in mozilla etc seems less spaced how to solve this issue. www.ims-sc.org please fix the peoblem. Hey everyone. I've sliced this psd, and uploaded all the images to a server, used border="0". When I view the html file standalone in a browser, it appears fine. When I go to insert it into my email program, the different slices at the bottom are all spaced out in weird configurations, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change this. I'm only a couple months in to html, so please excuse my ignorance if this is a simple fix. It's images 4-10 that are giving me problems.

I have a table, with two rows, and in each row i have embeded a different SWF file. The swfs (i am hoping) should end up "joined" together so it looks like only 1 animation when viewing in a browser. However, when i view in both IE and FIREFOX i get spacing inbetween the 2swfs even after setting all spacing and cellpadding of the table to "0" and verticaly aligning the TD's correctly. Im not too sure why?...any feedback would be great! How do I double indent? I use <dd> for a single indent, but I need a double indent, so something like this I currently have this: Single indent I need this: Double indent I've seen this used but I can't find any info on what it's meant to do. example: <<style>#saleDiv{display:none;}</style>> It's a user entered css on a social site. Ok, I'm in the process of creating a file explorer using 2 cgi scripts and one html file. The html file creates 2 frames, and calls 1 of the cgi scripts in each frame. The cgi scripts are written in python and html code. What I want I need to do is be able to click on a directory in the left frame and it opens it up in the right frame, while also opening the directory up in the left frame. Now link is dynamic seing as there are several directories. So I want to make it so that when I click on the directory link, it opens two links, modifying both frames. So I tried adding this underlined code in my code in the script that is called in the left frame: frame2 is the name of the second frame. #!/usr/bin/python print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" import re,os,sys def arbre(repertoire): liste=os.listdir(repertoire) print "<html>" +str(sys.argv[1])+ "<html>" for fichier in liste: if os.path.isdir(repertoire+"/"+fichier): print "<html>" "<div style='position:relative; top:15; width:500; height:20;'>" "<a href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/liste.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"' onClick='parent.frame2.location.href='http://localhost/cgi-bin/contenu.cgi?"+str(sys.argv[1])+"/"+str(fichier)+"'>" "<img src='http://localhost/apache2-default/repertoire.gif' width='25' height='25' alt='blarr' align=left border=no>" "</img>" "</a>" "<h5>" ,fichier, "</h5>" "</div>" "</html>" arbre(sys.argv[1]) This does not work, the left frame(frame1) works the same, but the second frame is not modified, help please? This might you give you a better idea of what I'm talking about: hello wizards, i am trying to create a site with image links which open a link in a new window and then the image changes. the target url of the link needs to be hidden too. the method will be repeated various times on the page. please help, i dont have any idea how to get a double function of the onclick command. any help would be great. cheers confusedidiot Please help. I have a set of web pages with a horiz nav bar across the top that has buttons that load various pages in the iframe target area on the lower 3/4 of the screen. We want the entire screen scrollable with one scrollbar as one solution, OR the entire iframe area scrollable with a single scroll bar as another possible solution, does not matter which. What we do not want is for the user to have two manipulate two scroll bars (the iframe one and the outside one) in order to view the bottom of the iframe area. Thanks in advance, Ron E.
