Nope you don't need <div>s inside of tables....it basically just
clutters up the code.
The reason youre having isues is because the text in the second column
is pulling the cell in the first coloumn apart. Creating a lot of space.
The more text the more the sapce will increase.
The solution:
Never try and build a page using just one large table and spliting and
merging the cells.....it won't work.
You need to remove all the content from column one, merge the cell back
into its original state, ONE cell. In that cell insert another table 1
column x as many rows as you want. Strictly speaking you don't actually
need any more than one row because all the content is centered but as
you are new to web-design you'll probably find it less complicated to
put each element in its own row.
Note of caution: make sure teh newly inserted table is align to the top
of the firts col. Do this by placing your curtsor in the first col going
to properties inspector and choosing 'top' form the vert drop enu.
I don't know what version of DW you cerated this page in but it
indicates that it wasnt 8 as you have no doc type present. It may well
be that you are updating the page which was cretaed in a version prior
to 04.

Newsgroup_User Sep 27, 2006 5:06 AM (in response to whiskey3)Ugh.
Lose this nasty NORTON stuff, though -
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function SymError()
{
return true;
}
window.onerror = SymError;
var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;
function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}
window.open = SymWinOpen;
//-->
</script>
And this -
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var SymRealOnLoad;
var SymRealOnUnload;
function SymOnUnload()
{
window.open = SymWinOpen;
if(SymRealOnUnload != null)
SymRealOnUnload();
}
function SymOnLoad()
{
if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
SymRealOnLoad();
window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload;
window.onunload = SymOnUnload;
}
SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;
//-->
</script>
