Hey guys,

 

Just a quick question - I'm having a problem with tables in Dreamweaver (I've linked a video below to demonstrate what I mean). Basically, if you look at the video, you can see I can't move the row up any higher on both the rows I try, but I can drag them down. Any ideas how to solve this?

 

Here's the link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=udPnTbIn49U

 

Thanks, and a nice forum you've got going here!

We will need to see the website code, as dreamweaver design mode is rubbish and you shouldn't rely on it to create websites.

 

 

so could you post the code of your site so we can actually see what is going wrong.

Try adjusting the height in the <td> tags in the html code. Just put in whatever you want each <td> to be example:

 

<table>

<tr>

<td height="200px">

content here

</td>

</tr>

</table>

Hi there - thanks for the replies. I tried adjusting the height but it only seemed to work if I was making the number higher and not lower...here's the code:

 

<table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
         <tr>
           <td width="22" height="9" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
           <td width="157" align="left" valign="top"></td>
           <td width="16" rowspan="3"> </td>
           <td width="349" rowspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><br><p><strong>Efficient, friendly and cost effective</strong><br>

         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td height="21"> </td>
           <td height="21"> </td>
           <td colspan="2"> </td>
         </tr>
       </table>

 

Thanks!

Just had a quick look through the code, and dropped it in dreamweaver. ITs because the two images either side of the center column. You cant make the height of the table LESS then the heigh of the images. If that makes sense?

Oh okay...I guess that's what happens when you slice it all up in Photoshop...I'll have to try and learn another way - thanks!
