HTML - Breaks Inbetween <tr>'s?

Hello,

I am using a JSP to populate a web page for a report. I get the results I want, but for some reason I get a whole lot of white space in between my title and my report body. I went through the HTML that was produced and did not see any extra <BR> lines or anything like that, so on a more fundamental level, does anyone know why you might get a whole lot of white space between things? Any debugging tips and HTML knowledge are appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

I'm having trouble adding a line break between my form items. I've tried all the obvious solutions and nothing is working; either the breaks appear about the forms and below the text, or the form itself is moved to halfway across the page.
I've tried using <br> tags and I've tried
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<br>
</td>
<tr>
and many variations, but none do what I what.

Here's my code:

Page Content goes here.
<BR><BR><BR>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.usa-7.com/scripts/shared/refmlr">
<input name="destEmail" value="emailaddressgoeshere" type="hidden"/>
<input name="reqType" value="Contact Us" type="hidden" />
<input name="numReqParms" value="5" type="hidden" />

<script src="validate.js"></script>
<style>
input.invalid {background: #ff0000;}
input.valid [background: #afa; }
</style>

<table height="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> First Name:&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="First Name" size="30" maxlength="55" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Last Name:&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="Last Name" size="30" maxlength="55" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Email Address:&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="Email" size="30" maxlength="200" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Phone Number:&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="Phone" size="30" maxlength="35" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Comments:&nbsp;</td>
<td><textarea name="Comments" cols="50" rows="8"></textarea></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


any help would be great.

Thanks!

removed thank you

hi y'all.

my site looks fine in firefox (as usual) but ie is doing something weird.
behavior is identical in IE 6 and 7, incidentally.

the problem is in the sidebar. see the underlined titles for each section? in IE, a mysterious line break appears above each. what's going on?

Any idea how this could happen?

There isn't much CSS applied to the table or the thead, and this only sometimes seems to happen. Not sure if this is Firefox only or not.

Any ideas? Thanks.

For some reason whenever I have an img tag it causes an automatic line break. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Basically i'm trying to add an small icon to the left of an active link. So the code basically looks like this..

<img src="icon.jpg"><a href="link.html">text link</a>

The end result is a icon on one line and the link rests below it instead of everything being on one line.

This is the first time this has ever happened and i'm wondering if this is normal?

I realize this may seem like a noob question but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am in the process of re-designing my website.
old site www.ghilliesuitsource.com
new site still a work in progress www.ghilliesuitsource.com/gss_test
I am struggling with 2 things on my new site.

1) The parallelogram (tilted rectangle) images in the background are seperated by paragraph breaks so that I can alternate between left and right aligned. While all of the forground "stuff" text and product images are AP DIV elements so they hold their spacing. Page looks like I intend it to in IE but netscape/firefox appear to use a different paragraph break line size causing the forground "stuff" to appear lower and lower with respect to the parallelograms, and it gets worse the further down the page you go.

2) It appears as though IE will not change text size inside an AP DIV element when you go to "view-Text Size" This is good because I am using a graphic to act as a border around text. Netscape and Firefox do change font sizes in AP DIV elements so when you select a larger fontsize the text "spills" out of the border.

If you can help me out with either of these problems I would certainly appreciate it.

Hello,

I'm not too sure where I'm going wrong here. I've created a graphic for use as a background image, which contains a text box in the middle of the page.

I've sliced the image and adjusted the html to include a rowspan, which can be seen at this url: http://www.magicalwonders.com/graphics/test.html

Borders have been left on so that the layout is easier to see. I was expecting the two cells either side of the cell that I've rowspanned to stretch as extra text goes in the box - however, this doesn't seem to work and the design gets completely broken, as in this url: http://www.magicalwonders.com/graphics/test2.html

I don't won't to be restricted in the amount of text I can include, so can anyone point me in the right direction and advise on the correct way to get this to work?

Many thanks,

Myles

When I view the HTML in a normal IE browser it works fine:
www.virtuosovideo.com/myspace

When I plug the same HTML into a MySpace profile the table gets broken up:
www.myspace.com/adamhaviland

Any idea why? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey guys, this may seem as an easy solution but I've been pulling hair over it. How do I get rid of the blank line breaks that appear before and after unordered lists?

I attached a picture to this thread of what I am exactly talking about. Thanks in advance!

Hello HTML Forum community,

I volunteered to work on my organization's website, and it has all been going smoothly until now.

Notice the odd spacing on the following page:
http://gadshillcenter.org/aboutus/aboutus_needs.php

And pretty much any other page in the About Us Section.

But the following, seemingly identical page does not have this spacing:
http://gadshillcenter.org/newsevents...herreading.php

What can I do to remove these stupid breaks/spaces after the header? I compared each .php line per line, and they are both pretty much identical.

I pasted another header (from News and Events) into the About Us, and it still resulted in this spacing, proving that it is an issue with the About Us pages.

What might be causing this? It is driving me nuts!

Sincerely,
Andrew

Hi

I have the following code loading an external .txt file into a DIV

<?php $content = file_get_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/text_files/about_text.rtf");

echo htmlspecialchars($content);
?>

It loads, but the line breaks are ignored, so it appears as one continous string of words.

How do I make the html display the text file's line breaks?

Thanks for your time and info

Shaun
