Unwanted space in Dreamweaver-created layout

Posted 20 July 2010 - 12:13 PM

I haven't posted code before in a forum, so in case I've done it wrong, I also attached the .htm file. Screen shot also attached.

I have unwanted gaps above and below my "subhead" div at the top of the page (the paragraph between the two rules), and I can't figure out why. I've checked cell padding, vertical space... I'm still a newb, so if it's something terribly obvious, I apologize.

Hi newway,

You have 14px margin top and bottom on the paragraph element within that div. Add in this line of CSS with correct the issue:

.subhead p { margin:0 }


As a side note, I would highly recommend you replace the old table and data cell layout structure you have, its considered pretty clunky these days for anything but an actual table.

Brilliant! Thank you! Ugh, I need to learn to code - when I double-clicked into the CSS rule in Dreamweaver it said all margins were already set to 0 px. That's misleading.

Thanks for the table advice, too!
