Space At Bottom Of HTML Page
message from StargrrlGrafx on 16 Jul 2004
http://www.stargrrl.com/OlympicSpa/aboutspa.htm I've tried moving the sizing handles up in every view and changing the pixel size manually in the Property Inspector. Nothing seems to work. Any idea as to why this is happening? TIA Amelia aka Stargrrl

Amelia,

I had a quick look at your site in DWMX2004. I think the issue is with the
'nested tables' you have. The middle table has a fixed height of 1645 pixels,
whilst the inner & outer tables have none, (these two tables are also a %
width, and the middle table has a fixed width of 800 pixels).

If you remove the fixed height of 1645 pixels, and no value in there at all,
then the big white space should disappear.

Also the page width is then fixed to width of the widest table, which is 800
pixels - this means I have to view it with a scroll bar across the bottom of
the page. So, as well as reducing the width of the middle table to, say 750
pixels, you also have to alter the width of the banner/banner table to approx
750, so the page "fits" properly - and no-one has to use a scrol bar to view it
all.

I hop all this makes sense and is helpful :)

Just at a quick glance, I would suggest that you search for the following
line:

<table width="800" height="1645" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

Without doing any serious calculating, it seems to me that "1645" might be
your problem.

P.S., table height is invalid HTML, too. If you had a valid doctype on the
page, you wouldn't see this extra space. Since your page has an invalid
doctype (I know it was written that way by DMX), the browser renders the
page in quirks mode, and stretches the table vertically.
