Image spacing problems

Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2003 6:48 pm (20 years, 9 months ago)

I'm sure this has a simple solution, but it's just not coming to me. Sad

I'm trying to stack 4 images vertically in a table and they have unwanted spaces inbetween them. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with this code?

<table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<td>
<td valign="top" border=0 width=63>
<img src="right.jpg" BORDER=0>
<img src="home.jpg" BORDER=0>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

-- I tried putting in vspace and well as image height constraints, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Try putting them all on one line without any spaces:

Not only that: you should make it all XHTML compliant (see my tutorial for more info). In your case all you need is the double quotes ("), lowercase, and a / at the end of the img tag. Smile

Just think about this: if you coded properly in the first place, you wouldn't have to rewrite your code, and you'd save time Wink

Okay, so I was trying to clean up my html a little bit and follow xhtml standards. I was wondering if someone could clear this up for me from when I put it in the validation check:

Line 113, column 29: there is no attribute "link" (explain...).

<td bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#25598E" alink="#25598E" vlink="#25598E">

Could someone tell me what is wrong with the link? Should there not be " "? Or no #?

You can't put link= into a td tag. That isn't valid. In fact, iirc bgcolor is the only valid attribute in that td you posted.

Yes, link, vlink and alink are attributes for the <body> tag Wink

And aren't those not in XHTML anymore, in favour of CSS?

I think you're advised to use CSS, but it's not invalid in XHTML yet. Question
