HTML Table problem

[Winnow]

Heya,

Can someone with html code skillz take a look at my post on this thread near the bottom and tell me what part of the code is causing a huge space before the table is inserted into the post?

Thanks.

Mods, feel free to edit and correct my post to eliminate the gap but I'd like to know what it was that caused it!

It's how you spaced the table code...

to the extreme if you copied/pasted the code back to notepad and removed all the linebreaks, it would work.

like my post below:

<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">CATEGORY</td><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SUNS</td><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SONICS</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Scoring</td><td class="sidebar">1st (109.4)</td><td class="sidebar">5th (100.2)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Point differential</td><td class="sidebar">1st (12.3)</td><td class="sidebar">3rd (6.4)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">FG pct.</td><td class="sidebar">1st (.478)</td><td class="sidebar">9th (.448)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Defensive FG pct.</td><td class="sidebar">4th (.423)</td><td class="sidebar">19th (.449)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">3-point pct.</td><td class="sidebar">3rd (.381)</td><td class="sidebar">1st (.391)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">FT pct.</td><td class="sidebar">21st (.746)</td><td class="sidebar">6th (.792)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Rebound diff.</td><td class="sidebar">27th (-2.8 )</td><td class="sidebar">4th (2.9)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Blocks</td><td class="sidebar">1st (6.7)</td><td class="sidebar">25th (3.8 )</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Home attendance</td><td class="sidebar">17th (16,320)</td><td class="sidebar">21st (15,770)</td></tr></table>

Edit: Fash beat me to it.

If I take your table from that page and remove all line breaks in the table, it looks like this:

<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">CATEGORY</td><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SUNS</td><td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SONICS</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Scoring</td><td class="sidebar">1st (109.4)</td><td class="sidebar">5th (100.2)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Point differential</td><td class="sidebar">1st (12.3)</td><td class="sidebar">3rd (6.4)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">FG pct.</td><td class="sidebar">1st (.478)</td><td class="sidebar">9th (.448)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Defensive FG pct.</td><td class="sidebar">4th (.423)</td><td class="sidebar">19th (.449)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">3-point pct.</td><td class="sidebar">3rd (.381)</td><td class="sidebar">1st (.391)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">FT pct.</td><td class="sidebar">21st (.746)</td><td class="sidebar">6th (.792)</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Rebound diff.</td><td class="sidebar">27th (-2.8 )</td><td class="sidebar">4th (2.9)<td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Blocks</td><td class="sidebar">1st (6.7)</td><td class="sidebar">25th (3.8 )</td></tr><tr><td class="sidebar">Home attendance</td><td class="sidebar">17th (16,320)</td><td class="sidebar">21st (15,770)</td></tr></table>

If I leave the "internal" linebreaks as it was, it looks like this:

<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tr>

<td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">CATEGORY</td>

<td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SUNS</td>

<td class="sidebar" bgcolor="#e4e5dc">SONICS</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Scoring</td>

<td class="sidebar">1st (109.4)</td>

<td class="sidebar">5th (100.2)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Point differential</td>

<td class="sidebar">1st (12.3)</td>

<td class="sidebar">3rd (6.4)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">FG pct.</td>

<td class="sidebar">1st (.478)</td>

<td class="sidebar">9th (.448)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Defensive FG pct.</td>

<td class="sidebar">4th (.423)</td>

<td class="sidebar">19th (.449)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">3-point pct.</td>

<td class="sidebar">3rd (.381)</td>

<td class="sidebar">1st (.391)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">FT pct.</td>

<td class="sidebar">21st (.746)</td>

<td class="sidebar">6th (.792)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Rebound diff.</td>

<td class="sidebar">27th (-2.8 )</td>

<td class="sidebar">4th (2.9)</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Blocks</td>

<td class="sidebar">1st (6.7)</td>

<td class="sidebar">25th (3.8 )</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="sidebar">Home attendance</td>

<td class="sidebar">17th (16,320)</td>

<td class="sidebar">21st (15,770)</td>

</tr>

Ah thanks : ) I leech code from ESPN, etc and then try to edit it as best i can so it looks ok here. I'll remove the lines...or better yet, steal your already modified one above : )

edit: thanks both Fash and Arch.
