Has anyone ever experienced Dreamweaver adding space between cells?
I have a table in which the cells are positioned one after another vertically. Cellpadding/spacing are set to zero, but yet when previewed in IE, there is a big gap between the last two cells that isn't evident in Dreamweaver. Whats going on ????

Try with adding some text in them and then select "verdana font size 1" for example and see if they get more together.

Sure it isn't a "gap" in one of the cells, rather than between them? Make table borders 1px red and it should help you to pinpoint the cell with the problem. Maybe a stray nbsp?

By default Dreamweaver adds the spacing.

When cell spacing and cell padding are not assigned specific values, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Dreamweaver all display the table as if cell spacing were set to 2 and cell padding were set to 1.

Try this: cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"

Back in the old days, when I still used Dreamweaver, this was one of my pet peeves. It is a documented issue.

Fashezee, if you have the copy of Homesite that usually ships witn Dreamweaver... get to know it. It will be your beast friend! ;)
