I have a problem with a simple table I am doing. The reason I am posting 3 links is because the tables are different in each and therfore react differently on different platforms.

link #1 = in IE has a vertical space between main tr and the next tr
In NS has vertical and horizontal spaces between table cells

link #2 = Same as above both instances

link #3 = in IE exactly as I want it to look, except I need a image map on the topleft graphic, can't do it as a bg image
In NS, it is completly whacked out.

[red]Link #1[/red] http://www.hdcnet.com/~vulken/index.html
[red]Link #2[/red]
http://www.hdcnet.com/~vulken/index1.html
[red]Link #3[/red]
http://www.hdcnet.com/~vulken/index2.html

Thanx for any help I recieve in advance, even if I don't recieve any 8]

Hi,
I found link#3 looked the same in IE and NS. You might like to try and fix your cell size to the same size as your image size. I would also reduce the size of the whole thing to make it more compatible with all screen resolutions.

VulKen,

If I was doing what you are trying to do, I would make the thing one big graphic. Then use a slicing program and cut it into small graphics. Program I'm thinking about is called (i think) Dicero.

It allows you to selectively cut it up. It then reconstructs the graphic into a table.

Doing that, you could make your link text in the graphic, then slice around them and get your image map effect. Doing it that way, you could even make your links rollovers.

Can't remember the companies website, but it is free. If you can't find it, I can email/icq it to you.

For the 1st (and only Smiling one I looke at:
- you need to define height and width atributed for the top table so they match the img atributes.

Ok, if you examine the source, you will notice that "repeat.gif" is a bgimage, I did this so that the site would adjust to the height of the entire site. I have made the table cells with the exact dimensions of the images, and the spaces remain. Oh well I guess I will just give this one up..hehe..

In your second tr you have a font setting w/ text-decoration="underline" isn't text-decoration a CSS type of tag and if so it should be text-decoration: underline; shouldn't it? It might account for some wierdness if so.

Hello... I think the horizontal whitespace line is a browser-specific problem.

Please see http://www.qualitymachinecompany.com/fixmenu.html for a glimpse at what I've done to try to work with it.

Apparently, established designers are stymied, too. Please see http://www.killersites.com/tutorial/borders.html for an otherwise great example broken by the browser (probably).

If anyone out there knows if this is a browser bug, or if there is a workaround, I would like to know, too.

Hope this helps, I don't have a workaround.
