How do all, hope all's well?

Perhaps I'm being a little over-cautious here but as well as checking my Webpages on IE, I always preview on an old version of Netscape's Browser (Version 4) - reason being that if all works and views okay here then things can't be that bad.

Anyways I've noticed a minor graphics glitch and as much as I've examined the code with a fine toothcomb and can't see what's causing it?

Basically at the very bottom of the far right-hand navigation column there's a white gap below my Charter mark logo and it's bugging me big time? Here's what it looks like in Netscape 4.6

The Site's address is:-

If anyone could point me in the right direction there's a Pint of Virtual Guinness and much appreciation from me.

Cheers

Andrew

make sure there are no hard returns in the code. More table gap issues and resolutions can be found here (old old page, beware) carterjackson.com/index/celtic.html and in newer Netscape, the same problem happens because of a faulty interpretation of the 4.01 transitional doctype, so remove the url from the doctype if you're having that problem in N6+.

Briefly viewing your code, I noticed:

  
<tr> 
    <td> 
      <div align="center"><a href="http://www.cabinet-
office.gov.uk/servicefirst/2001/chartermark/1stphasewin
.htm#NI" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.cabinet-
office.gov.uk/servicefirst/2001/chartermark/1stphasewin.
htm#NI" target="_blank"><b><img src="graphics/bluecharter2
.gif" width="80" height="77" vspace="10" hspace="0" alt="

    </td>
  </tr>

Looks like you've got a few empty 's. Delete the unnecessary bits and see what it looks like.

Cheers Abhishek
I guess it was just a case of sloppy coding and deleting the extra links did the trick, much appreciated.

Thanks for the link Suzanne.
