Dreamweaver and table spacing

pop menu tables get added space for old Netscape

[Maxformed]

I have a site where there is a table in the background that has static images and test. I have layers containing tables with no cell padding or spacing containing images for submenu navigation. The problem is that on old Netscape 4.7x, when the main rollovers activate the pop menu, there is spacing appearing between cells.

I can give you a preview link if you have old NS to see what I mean, or if you're good coder, perhaps you can tell me where I'm going wrong.

I'm using Dreamweaver MX for Mac on OS 9.1/

Any help, please.

Thanks,
Max

Hey Maxformed, not sure that this will solve your problem, but might be worth checking out.....if only to remove it from the list of possible causes.

I find that dreamweaver MX adds spaces around images. Not all the time though, but sometimes it looks as if it has added in a Line break, which would give the sort of effect you are getting. The cause of this is down to where you put your tags.

In previous Dreamweavers you could for example write:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="path to image">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

However, i have have noticed that now and again dreamweaver MX uses the above like a line break i.e. to get it to work properly you actually have to put the </td> tag on the same line as the cell content like so:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="path to image"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Like i say, not sure if this is what is causing your problem, but maybe worth having a quick look at.

Thanks, webboy. I did see that mentioned somewhere. I tried moving the closing </td> up, but still funky. It seems that if there are any behaviors applied to an image (or even a named anchor such as "top"), the cell expands.

It seems to help working in standard mode vs. layout mode.

I didn't notice it in DW 4.
