A problem with tables
Hello!
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm setting up a table, and each row within the table is a separate table. However, I don't want to have the big space between each row that I'm getting stuck with. How do I avoid that?
The site is here:

Thanks a lot!

Hi alwphan, welcome to the forums
I would eliminate the nested tables and just use colspan attributes to render the varying amount of cells per row.

I tried that, but was unable to make it work - if you can suggest any remedies for this instead, I'd be just as happy.

Start with the TABLE ...s defining the images, first - getting them to line up before surrounding them with more <TABLE ...>s containing the backgrounds and spacing.
Move the WIDTH= and HEIGHT= attributes inside the <IMG SRC=...> tag and eliminate them from the <TD>s and <TABLE ...>s. Make the BORDER=1 inside the <TABLE ...>s until you get it sized right, possible adding blank <TD>& nbsp ; cells to provide spacing.
It normally takes me around 1/2 hour playing with things like this to get it all right without the images having to line up next to each other.Last edited by HTML; 11-09-2002 at 10:19 AM.

Thank you for the suggestions!
I was able to get it - had to re-cut a few images, but it's working now, so that's all that matters!
