I'm new to blogging, but I'm very impressed with the blogs I've created with Blogger. However, one thing that bothers me, especially when I'm adding page elements, is that I often wind up with large to enormous vertical gaps or spaces between elements.
I recently added my first Text Page Element. In it, I typed a message, then inserted some HTML for a table.
But when I view my web page, I have to scroll quite a ways down from the text to see the table.
When I edit it, it looks like this in HTML mode:
End of Text
<table><tr><td>Data</td></tr></table>
But when I switch to Rich Text Format mode, I see a huge space between the text and table. If I delete this space and save the element, the display doesn't change.
I have been able to make the table float to the top using various tricks, but I can't quite figure out what the magic secret is.
For a while, I thought the problem might relate to the inline CSS styles I used in my table, but removing them doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks. |

Widgets and Page Elements already have CSS Defined in the blogger template for the apperance and design of the template you are using...
By viewing your page source and locating the element you added you can usually see some sort of CSS attribute already in place.
Try searching your template for this CSS atribute up near the header, it is very possible it has padding and margin already defined in the CSS that you will need to modify for your needs.
Its either that or remove the table you may have surrounded the data top begin with and see what the element looks like with the already CSS in place..
If you need further help post a URL and the element your refering to and I will take a deeper look.

Stupid me, I don't know why it never even occurred to me to look at the source code. Anyway, I discovered that when I insert HTML that looks like this...
<table>
<tr>
<td>
...Blogger inserts a break after every line break, so it look like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
So I just squeezed all my code together, and it now works fine.
Thanks. |
