Row spacing in tables

I need to do this...

[adni18]

I have a table (with two rows), and I need to make the row on bottom 0px away from the one on top. This may be a job for the CSS dept, so I will post this there as well.

What about using the cell values in the table
CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="2"

If you want no space at all between table rows and cells, then all you need is:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

There is no exact CSS equivalent, and so the above is valid in all standards, transitional and strict.

[gohankid77]

td {
margin: 0; /* Isn't this the same as cellspacing="0"? */
padding: 0; /* Isn't this the same as cellpadding="0"? */
}

I always thought that was how to do it. Borders are a bit different in HTML and CSS, so I suppose those could be different.

I did that, but there is still a slight space between the first and second row.

What about the elements in the table cells? Maybe you are seeing margin or padding associated with a <p> or <img> element. what do you see when you turn on border=1 for the table? Or use css to give the table cell elements a border?

Also, some browsers render a line break in your HTML doc gets rendered as extra space.

That's what I figured.

tr {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

That might work.

Nevermind what I just posted now. You will always have spacing between rows whether you use HTML or CSS.

You will always have spacing between rows whether you use HTML or CSS.

As I said in message 3 - you need the cellpadding and cellspacing set to zero in the HTML, and then you get no spaces between the

<tr>

elements.

There is currently no way to do this with CSS, and that is why the example I gave will validate even if you're using XHTML 1.0 Strict or 1.1.

Actually, my example eliminates the same amount of space as yours.

It looks like you are right. It eliminates almost the same amount of space, though.

OOPs!
I forgot to set the values to zero
in my post.
Doh!
