Ok, this has nothing to do with TP.. or SMF... but I thought that maybe someone might no how to keep me from pulling out the last strands of my hair by helping me with this issue. If that is a problem, please feel free to delete this post.

I have created an html page that I am loading into an article. All content is within a table. When the page displays, anywhere, not just within TP or SMF, there is about a 1" gap at the top. I added a div above the table and inserted a graphic. The graphic displays at the top, with no gap above it, but the GD

table still has the 1" gap. Is this a common issue? If so, is there a workaround?

You can see it in action www.xpertwarriors.org

It is the gap under the black and white logo and the wording.

Thanks for the help!

Looking at the code it looks as though you are missing your first table row. You go from <table> to <td> without your <tr>

Maybe thats the problem.

I gave it a shot, but it didn't solve the issue... I'll keep playing with it. Thanks for trying bro!

Post your code if you can't figure it out. I'll throw it on a test site of mine and take a look if you'd like.

OK, here goes!

Thanks Again!

       special troops training.&nbsp; Here in these games squad play was born.&nbsp; Early

        of BR.&nbsp; New squads it seemed were being formed daily as more and
        more players became aware of FPS gameplay and were jumping into the fray.&nbsp; After
        a couple of months of playing on BR it became apparent when an old member
        returned and personality conflicts arose that Jak and Sap take their
        show elsewhere.&nbsp; Jak, Sap and Oxy decided to start a new squad and

        always love to play alongside great players, we all know why.&nbsp; XW
        quickly attracted great players with their strong play and great shooting

        against XW seemingly daily.&nbsp;  To this day Jak and Sap still talk
        of some of those battles.&nbsp; XW learned early on to never give up,
        a trait that is instilled in every player that wears the .xw tag.&nbsp; To
        be the best you have to play the best and XW always played the best team
        in the game.&nbsp;  Along with playing the best change will occur and
        new games are no exception.&nbsp; Land Warrior is giving way to Task

        it's strong background XW gained notoriety quickly but for a price.&nbsp; Playing
        the best always takes it's toll and XW was no exception.&nbsp; Personality
        conflicts arose, mainly due to dedication to match play and teamwork,
        and XW went through some lean months in 2003 when the squad was down
        to a core group of six players.&nbsp; Those six held on to the belief
        of the squad and stayed the course, setting XW up for a very memorable
        and important time in XW history.&nbsp; From the dissolution of the Brew
        Crew, XW absorbed a great deal of important players that propelled XW
        the only way it could go, up.&nbsp;  Squads such as DFR, DFL, EVO, SAW,
    BMF, 1MD were all present for the great matches that XW enjoyed playing.</span></td>

        up most all of EVO's great players when the brass decides to finally
        close shop on one of BHD's greatest squads.&nbsp; Along with Brew Crew's

        knows that we can deliver the goods.&nbsp;  Some squads never made it

I added this to the CSS portion of your code:

Code Select

table {
	top: 0px;
	position: absolute;
}

This moved the table to the top with no margin... that is a quick fix, but may lead to problems elsewhere.

Rocket · July 04, 2007, 09:13:38 PM

Fixed it.. had some random br tags in the table between the tr tags. Thanks for the help!
