I have a page with a layout table, with a cell at the top, and a cell on left side, an a layout table in the middle.
When I place the header and L-side in there is always a small gap when I preview it. I have tried setting the header at fixed width, with the L-side as autostrech, and I have switch that around. There is always a gap.
What the heck am I missing to do? Thank you

hi sailruner,

where exactly is the gap appearing?

can we have a look the page somewhere?

it's a lot easier to diagnose if we can see the code.

Oh, I forgot The space appears between the header and left nav bar.

hi sailruner,

the problem is that the <td> in the header row of your table has the attribute height=&quot;128&quot;, but your image is only 105 pixels high. also there are a couple of extra spaces inside your <td>.

you can solve this by getting rid of the height attribute from the <td> and then removing the extra spaces so that the code for your cell will look like this...

<td valign=&quot;top&quot; colspan=&quot;3&quot;><img name=&quot;header&quot; src=&quot;images/header.gif&quot; width=&quot;758&quot; height=&quot;105&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;></td>

you wouldn't think it makes much difference, but it seems to work for me.

if i ever get problems with tables, i always give them a border temporarily - it usually means you can get closer to the problem a lot quicker.

hope this helps,

ss...
