Geeky help wanted

If anyone wants to do a "view source" and explain why there's all that blank space at the top of the post immediately below this one, I'd be most pleased.

Um... I have no idea. I see a lot of breaks within the table cells themselves that seem unnecessary but I don't see anything above the table that might cause all that white space.

The only thing I see is a TABLE BORDER tag with no value for the border. I wouldn't think that would cause it, unless there is a border attribute in your css that is doing it (though I think that would cause the same border all around, not just at the top). Try changing it to TABLE BORDER="0" for giggles.

Got it! It's the br tags that are after each /tr in the table. The br tags within the td's are ok, but the ones after each row are getting read outside the table and putting a bunch of space at the top.

Makes sense to me.

Take out the br after table border too, and that should help knock her up a little more.

Sorry, no help from this quarter either - I have the same problem with my Estrogen Month table, and even after all these months I still can't fix it.

Well, Elayne, Sol's suggestion about removing the [br] tags helped a lot, if that's any use to you.
