Karen Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hello, everyone! I'm an intermediate web designer who has been in business for over a year. I'm taking Stefan's web design course to pick up stuff I haven't learned and add to my knowledge base. This is my first post... I'm neither a beginner nor advanced, so I had a hard time deciding where to post. Here's my problem: I have a page designed using CSS, but I have information that needs rows and columns, so I placed it in a table. I have checked, double checked, and everything else I can think of, up to and including deleting the table and remaking it from scratch, but some of the information is still not in line... on the top row, of course! Each cell is set up using left and top alignment, and everything looks fine in Dreamweaver, but browser previews (in several browsers) still have it out of line. Any thoughts? Is there a better way for me to organize this information? Here's the URL: http://hathawaytower.com/listings.html Thanks so much in advance!!

cowboyandy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hey, Karen! I just opened it using your link, and that page, as well as the others, looks great! It's all perfectly aligned as 4 columns, with the "For Sale" and "For Rent" centered. This is a wide-screen monitor at work - could that make a difference (still learning a lot of this)? Not much help, I guess, but at least you know it's working somewhere! Have a great afternoon, and God bless! Cowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Actually the top line is not displaying correctly which pushes all the subsequent content down. First of all, never believe what Dreamweaver is showing you, it is just a visual aid to help you grab hold of a tag without having to wade through the code. Believe what you see in Firefox, that will show you exactly what you have coded. Re your problem, you have put a p tag within the td cell, the p tag has a top and bottom margin of 1em so it is being pushed down. Remove the p tag. To give space around the text in your table, you can add padding to the tr tag Edited November 30, 2010 by virtual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyandy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Dang it, virtual! I got that wrong, too? Andrea's going to fire me as one of her students if I don't catch on soon.... Almost through fixing the errors on mine...yay! Have a great day, and God bless! Cowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Andrea's going to fire me as one of her students if I don't catch on soon... No worries, I only fire those who REFUSE to listen to anything - and even they get a few warnings, first. Just ask Mr. Sushi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) No worries, I only fire those who REFUSE to listen to anything - and even they get a few warnings, first Whew! I'm glad I listen to you because we are moving back to Texas come January. Getting fired and being in the same state could cause quite a ripple!

Andrea Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Eddie - I'm sure there's room for both of us in Texas - just stick to your side of the tracks. Besides - I was talking about 'students' - you're overqualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ok..you can have south Texas and we will take the north. It's a deal. And remember The Alamo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ah yes...the Alamo. My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt on the Riverwalk back in 2006. We are able to walk around downtown for everything except the Missions and the Market. We've been there 3 times now and we are ready to visit here again in the near future. I heard they extended the Riverwalk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 There are still working on the expansion - part is done, part is yet to come. All beautiful. I LOVE the Riverwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thank you so much!! I have looked at it over and over and hadn't noticed that <p>. I guess you miss stuff when you look at it for too long. I found it in another cell, too, and was able to remove it. All fixed! I'm sure I'll be back here when I have more issues! Thanks again!
