Table alignment?

L/P · Sep 20, 2004

Constructing new page and have two tables with width set to 100% and no
specific height..

Instead of second table being "connected" to top table there is a large
space between the two tables (IE6).
I have a small border around each table with different colors..
First table is being used as header with text.
Second table encloses several smaller table with text and graphics.

Can't figure out what is going on?
In FP2k "normal" and "preview" it looks OK.

Suggestion and thanks,

L.

My
name is Dave Hinman, and I am proposing a new approach to
government
in the City of O'Fallon. I
believe it's time we change the role of the Mayor to one that
focuses
on guidance and facilitation because, ultimately, the job of the
Mayor
should be to help the Aldermen serve the citizens as well as
possible.

As
Mayor, I will:

the information they need to make good decisions. 
·  Make sure
that every issue is looked at from all angles. 
·  Allow as
many people as possible to have the opportunity to
provide us with input.
 
·  Provide
an atmosphere that promotes the open and equal
expression of all ideas and opinions.
I
want to do this for YOU!

I don't know about you, but that doesn't fix it for me.

I've printed out the html from FP2k and IE6. and they appear the same, so
I'm not sure why the "space" is showing up in IE6 and not FP (normal or
preview)???
Still looking...
