There's a stark mismatch between the news headlines and the coverage of the presidential campaign. I've gone through the ADN website sections on World and National news and taken what I thought were some significant stories.
Then I went to the Political news section and took out stories from there. With the exception of the "McCain and Obama on China" story, which came from the World News, not the Political News section, there is nothing on what the candidates think about the key issues of the day. [Skip on down]
I will also mention that this is the first post where I have created an html table. It really was pretty easy. The code can be found here.
Can anyone tell me why there is that long blank space and how to get rid of it?

Did you try editing the post from Blogger's HTML tab instead of the rich text editor? It may be that there are a lot of extra line breaks in the code. For some reason that happens to me a lot when I'm using the blockquote format.
ReplyDeleteMaia, thanks for the advice. Yes, I did it in the Edit HTML tab, not the compose tab. Dennis emailed this advice:
ReplyDeleteThe height of your table is actually 317 px. Change it in your code if you know how. When the sizes aren't correct, they can render your page goofy. It also says "table style" "style" is a CSS use for your table. I'd have to see the CSS to find out how that influences it.
[<]table style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="3"[>]"
I did go in and change it to 317, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Consider the blank space a meditation zone. Until someone figures it out. And thanks Dennis.
I had to put brackets around the < because the comment wouldn't allow the html code in the last message.
ReplyDeleteBlogger inserts the <br /> tags every time you hit enter. So when your table looks like this:
ReplyDelete<table>
<tr>
<td>blah</td><td>blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
This creates 5 additional blank lines. The way to fix it is to put everything on one line, although it makes it non-readable to humans:
<table><tr><td>blah</td><td>blah</tr></tr></table>
Kenrick, That seems to be working. I'll go back in and try to find some more to crunch up. Thanks! But got to run now, will do it later. But this cut out a bunch of white space already.
