Post subject: Problems with Too Much Space in Table Layout
Archived from groups: macromedia>dreamweaver (more info?)

I design an in-house newsletter for the non-profit organization I work for as a
manager. I use Dreamweaver to layout each issue but I can't seem to figure out
why I have all this extra space in my tables and how I can get rid of it. When
I am working in Dreamweaver, the design is tight and looks good. Once I view
it in Safari, it is all spaced out and looks like I've forgotten sections. I am
confused. If you can help or offer suggestions, I would be very appreciative.
Here's a recent newsletter:

Thanks!

Dont use rows in your main table just use two columns and load the
individual tables into their respective columns.

The reason why the irregular spacing is occuring is because the longest
column, the right hand one, is pulling the left column down as a result
of the rows. Rows in adjacent colums wont maintain there independance,
they will be pulled to the depth of the longest piece of information in
the adjoining column.

Also the use of setting height could be a contributing factor in the
tables distortion.
