Top Border and extra space below

D

DaveR

We are using borders on our site (www.medline.com). On occassion, when we
dit a file that is built using a DWT, I get space below my top border -
basically a white line. It takes a long time for the site to recalc all
this, then I have to go into the border file and delete the extra line. Long
time to recalc again.

Anybody have ideas? We are power users, not real developers. Thanks very
much.

Check your View source for your DWT and make sure it does not have a &nbsp; or <P> tag after the editable region tag

Thanks - it appears it doesn't. When I opened the two DWT's we use, they had
the white space between top shared border and editable region in design mode,
but nothing in code view.

I hit deleted the line by giong to top border region an hitting delete.
That brought the editable region right up to the border.

The TOP.HTM file showed as being changed. If I save it, then my long period
of updates begins.

I am stumped.

Post a URL to your site using the DWT

SInce this is production, we always make sure the white space is gone - but
you can see the code. The site is consistent in use of the DWT. Don't
bother with the My Account section, that takes you to another app altogether.
But Resources, Products and other links are static pages using the DWT.

I really appreciate the assistance.

I would start be renaming your editable regions and the DWT to remove all spaces
- same for all your pages and images

The extra space is coming from your use of a top shared border
- a Shared border is not necessary w/ a DWT
Delete the <p></p> at the end in

</div>
<p></p>
</body>

FYI
- The tag <spacer width="1" height="85" type="block" /> is unsupported
- Empty cells w/ just &nbsp; will be collapsed by most browsers

PS
Don't know why you are creating a 901 px table for cells that add up to 892px in your DWT
Or in your to top border the div sizing w/ style="width: 898px; height: 96px"

- frankly I would redesign the entire site for 760 px max
