Table Problem

curlyblueMember

Hi,

Been using auctiva for a week or so now and its the donkeys dangleys!!

Got a small problem I need some help with ...

I am creating my own HTML for my products and am copying HTML for tables across from Dreamweaver 8 to Auctiva and it seems that when I do this Auctiva puts in darn NBSP characters - heres an example ....

My Original DW code:

<td height="3" colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFCC66"></td>

Code once its pasted into Auctiva

<td height="3" colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFCC66">nbsp;</td>

Dunno why its doiong that and it really buggers up my lovely design.

I have gone throught he code in the auctiva editor and stripped out all the nbsp; codes but as soon as I preview it or save it they come back.

Any suggestions people.

Ta muchly

What content are you trying to put in the cells? If you don't want any content in them, it's correct for a non-breaking space to be placed there to ensure proper display across browser platforms. Not sure if you mistyped or if Auctive actually is inserting just nbsp; but the correct code for a non-breaking space is & nbsp; (remove the space between the ampersand and the rest).

Hello,

Thanks for your response - heres what I am trying to achieve.

Take a look at this link ...

http://www.onlinealoe.com/shop/drinks/015.html

You will see the nutrition information table at the lower part of the page - you will see that it has orange dividing lines between the information - THAT is what I am trying to achieve in Auctiva.

In dreamweaver - if you leave int he character the table HEIGHT doesn't comepress tot the height specified by the 'height="x"' tag.

When I take out the character it displays correctly in dreamweaver, IE & netscrape.

So I can't understand why Auctiva puts the characters back in as this prevents my table from displaying properly.

Any ideas.

Cheers

Ray

You'd be better served setting your attributes using inline styles in this manner:

The height tag is persnickety at best and, as mentioned previously, does require a non-breaking space in some browsers to display properly.

Hope this helps!
