Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / February 2008absolutely no gap between table rows?
Hi, Is it possible to have absolutely no gap between table rows? ie in the following table I would like the bottom of the contents of the 1st row to be virtually touching the top of the contents of the 2nd row. I have tried various permutations of border-spacing and padding of 0, but there always remains a pretty large gap. Thanks Paul This is the HTML markup <html> <head> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> /* I have left these in as placeholders */ table { } td { } tr { } </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>6</td> <td>7</td> <td>8</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> > Hi, > > Is it possible to have absolutely no gap between table rows? I believe it is. Start with a doctype so your not in quirks mode, and put up a url. Then we can see whats going on. > > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Then we can see whats going on. Ian Thanks for your reply - I've added a doctype (it is now W3C Valid HTML 4.01 Strict). I don't have access to my own URL at the moment so I hope this is enough.

Most likely, but who can tell, you have not supplied us a link to your attempt.

There is no gap between the rows. You may be perceiving the space above and below the content (the numbers). This is simply the normal way text is layed out. If you want to change that then you should fiddle with line-height, probably on the <td>: td {line-height: .8em} but why do you want to do this anyway?

Thanks to all who responded. rf - yes, it was solved by line-height (I guess the other respondents knew that but I seemed to be asking for something different :-) >>>>> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the rows (unless I am doing something very wrong). > Paul Maybe this can help you tr {margin: 0; padding: 0;} td {margin: 0; padding: 0 5 0 5;} SignaturePetr Vileta, Czech republic (My server rejects all messages from Yahoo and Hotmail.

Please reply to <petr AT practisoft DOT cz> > Yes, but I don't know if author use css2.1 or css2.0 It matters not what the author intended, since browsers don't make any distinction. In reality, CSS 2.1 is the only one supported these days, with a few 3.0 things thrown in here and there. Mac IE5 is the only browser I know of that supports 2.0 instead of 2.1, and it's a dead browser. Anything older than MacIE isn't worth sweating over, either. > and don't know too if all > browser really know about w3c reccomendation No browser has 100% support but all the major browsers have at least pretty good support. If a browser doesn't grok the 2.1 specs, unless it's something obscure you can bet money the user already knows they have a deficient browser and has learned to suffer with it, or work around it. SignatureBerg >> and don't know too if all >> browser really know about w3c reccomendation [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > have a deficient browser and has learned to suffer with it, or work > around it. I'm using IE6. I patched it by all updates provided by MS but I'm not sure if this browser really apply all css rules right. I not need to upgrade to IE7 because this browser is user unfriendly and I'm not the only who have the same opinoin of IE7 ;-) SignaturePetr Vileta, Czech republic (My server rejects all messages from Yahoo and Hotmail.

I use IE very rarely. And when I do, I eat a little corner of it if I am hungry. But this still does not influence how I make a web page. The only thing that I worry about in general is have I made any silly mistake that Bergamot would see instantly. It is a galvanizing idea.

It is a galvanizing idea. Maybe you will agree with me that is important for who is pages designed for. When 90% of supposed visitors will be Windows users (say pages about Windows tricks) then is not important "damaged look" in Opera, Firefox etc., but look in IE6/7 could be doing in "pixel resolution". When pages is designed for general public (say bank application, blog, internet portal etc.) then graphic look must compromise with page content and relativelly the same look in all browsers. When pages are designed for Linux users only then look is very unimportant /linux users haven't aestetic taste ;-)/ and you can ignore IE browsers existence too.

It isn't, because we don't get to choose who views them, or how they choose to do it. We must serve everyone.

When I am away from my office, unsurprisingly, I cannot always use a Mac. I have to suffer on Winboxes elsewhere. I often find I am looking things up to do with Macs. I would be displeased to see a webpage horribly broken on the machine I happened to be on at the time just because it was about Macs and I was on Windows. Just btw or not, 10% can be an awful lot of people. You would know it if they tried to hunt you down and kill you. I know I hate being chased by bloodthirsty mobs for doing very little to provoke them. > When pages is designed for general public (say bank application, blog, > internet portal etc.) then graphic look must compromise with page content and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > /linux users haven't aestetic taste ;-)/ and you can ignore IE browsers > existence too. I know what you mean, but I wonder if a field study would back you up. I now and then come across Linux and Windows users with some sense of taste. But that is just one lone visitor to the planet, not much to go on statistically. <g> Signaturedorayme >>> and don't know too if all >>> browser really know about w3c reccomendation [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I'm using IE6.

IE7 better, but far from perfect and compared to other browsers quite inferior. > I not need to > upgrade to IE7 because this browser is user unfriendly and I'm not the > only who have the same opinoin of IE7 ;-) Neither should be your design tool.
