Entering beneath a Table

[fou4swords]

hey,

How do i make an enter beneath a table?.. Normally you would click on the bit below the table.. and enter......... But when i click underneath it.. the pointer instantly goes to the next line down..not the line i wanted..

Heres the link.. http://four4swords.buhh.net/index.htm

Its the two table cells on the side.. the Blue and black coloured ones ( the JavaFeatures and four4swordspage.) .. see how its not evenly spaced like the other ones..

To get into the space below you want to put your cursor at the very end of the table content and hit the down arrow. But if you go into code view you will see after each table closing tag </table> you have this:

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Arial">
<span style="font-size: 1pt" lang="en-nz">&nbsp;</span></font></p>


You dont have it for the Java link table .....

BTW I meant to mention, your three headings ... you still use Text Boxes .... that will give you problems

Yeah. I still do use that autoshape thing.. but thats because there not links anymore.. so its just pictures lying around.. no biggy

Sometimes I forget to place a space between tables or set one at the top. Terribly annoying.

Any time I need to create a space where there seems to be none, I go to HTML and simply add <Br>.

So far that has worked for me every time.

PS I've heard nasty stuff about use of auto shapes.

[MandyJay]

Yes I have repeatedly spoken of the text boxes/auto shapes etc, explaining that even the words in the boxes wont be seen buy some people - I cant see it in firefox at all, but ........ at end of the day it is up to the designer what they choose to use. :crazy:

<br> is great to us but I think only something like a 1pt or 2pt gap is required and even the <br> is too large for that.

What you could try is setting your cell spacing see if that works (you already have cell padding I think), alternatively I sometimes create only one table for the buttons, each going into its own cell, then you can easily get what space you want between the cells

Textbox is an issue as well.

Now spank me for this, but contrary to real design fstandards, I don't care if my HTML validates. I do concern myself with being compliant for screen readers (use of Alt for images for those not familiar Alt allows a screen reader to decipher image content e.g. alt="cat"), and I avoid the horizontal scroll, but as long as I maintain my Google rank, I can live without the rest.
