I am working on a sample website to help my brother get some ideas for his company, but I have run into a problem I cant figure out. I built a sample page as layers in dreamweaver, then converted to table and when I preview it in firefox, a huge space appears out of nowhere between a row of flash buttons and the text layer box – a space that should be 10px. In the image attached, you can see a screen shot of the original layers page and then the layers converted to tables (looks fine to me); then the next is a screenshot of the page in safari which looks alright but then you can see the difference in firefox. What am I doing wrong? What is causing this space to appear? I've tried removing the 10px layer, filling it with an image, trying different fonts and styles, etc but I just cant make it go away!

I am by no means a professional web designer, nor do I plan on becoming one – but I do enjoy it very much and love learning about programming so I greatly appreciate the advice of the real pros here!
 
Code would help. Do you have <p> tags on those first items>?

Also, you're about to hear about 10, "OMG, you're using tables, %$^&*". But in all honesty, I'd go with divs for cleaner code and SEO friendly HTML.

BTW, not a bad looking site ;)
 
I'm afraid I dont know what <p> tags or div tags are nor how to use them - perhaps ill try for the next site (unless its something i can just modify)?

Id gladly give you the code to look at but i'm not sure the best way to deliver it (copy & past here?). Thanks so much for responding so soon!
 
Code:
put code here
:)

You have to use [ code ] code here [ /code ] without the spaces between the brackets. Codes pretty bloated though. But I'll take a looksi.
 
oh cool!

Not sure where to start :) I would turn it back to layers (which are divs) since you already are using the CSS. Maybe repost after?
 
i realize there's probably a million things wrong with the site - but since its just for inspiration, i'd just love for those spaces to go away :) here's the code from the layers if it helps. Thanks so much!

wow, i feel silly - i have no idea how to do that. I'm using dreamweaver which seems to take care of the CSS coding for me (i build the site in the design window, can you tell?) :) Thank you for your continued help, though!
 
Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--

p {
margin: 0 0 15px 0;
}

#Layer1 {
	position:absolute;
	width:430;
	height:80;
	z-index:1;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
}
......

Go to code view ...
 
i tried in both the layer and table version, no luck. Do you suppose it's possible that there's something wrong with the flash buttons thats creating extra space?
 
Well, I took another look with at your table layout, I noticed you have a table inbetween the flash and the content. Just because you have he height set to 10, doesn't mean it will stay at 10. You should get rid of that table, and use CSS to create that 10 px padding.

Bah, I tried to do it for you, but this code is hard to work with because of the way it's written.

But no, has nothing to do with flash.
 
Removing the little table had no effect, but I certainly appreciate the effort! Is there anyone else out there lurking around who might have come across this before? I feel like it should be a simple coding error and simple fix, but I just cant find it!

To be honest, it is a simple fix if the code wasn't so mucked up. I'm guessing, like me, people are hesitant to look because it's such a mess. It's no offense to you, but honestly, it's almost unreadable and very hard to follow.
