Can't get rid of spacing at bottom of page...

drifter, I don't see what you're speaking of (FF and Safari). But I have to ask - wth is this: ?

<div class="footer-text">| &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/test.php">Home</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;| &nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/learn-basics.php">Learn the Basics</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/poker-on-tv.php">Poker On Tv </a>&nbsp; &nbsp;| &nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/pro-bios.php">Pro Bios </a>&nbsp; &nbsp;| &nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/forum/"target="_blank">Forum</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/links.php">Links</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; | &nbsp; <a href="http://www.gtapoker.ca/contact-us.php">Contact Us</a>&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;© 2005 GTAPoker.ca &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </div>

Why are you using the non-breaking space for layout?

maybe get rid of all those   after your copyright notice.

A friend of mine coded that for me, stupid way of doing it I know, it will be fixed soon. This is my first attempt at buidling a tableless site, so please bear with the unconventional ways that things have been done.

No problem, as long as you understand. Now for the problem, what exactly are you referring to? I don't see it.

Thanks!

I think Chris' solution fixed it, removing all the ' ' after the copyright seems to have resolved the problem, as I don't see it anymore either. Thanks Chris!

I also have a similar problem in the forum, blank space at the top and at the bottom, do you see that on your end?

Maybe this line near the bottom of the source

<td valign="bottom" height="130">

the height looks like it could be 30 instead of 130.

That seems to have fixed the spacing within the forum border, but I'm actually talking about this:

Do you see that space at the top?

It's there in IE and FF for me.

I had the same problem on my last (all css) design. All the relevant paddings and margins were 0, but I still had that gap at the top of the page. I ended up fixing it by giving my first div "margin-top: -20px; padding-top: 20px;" but it felt dirty. I'd love to find a better solution.

I thought about trying that as well.

I've added a -8px to the top and bottom margins.

Now here's the weird part, in IE the space at the bottom is gone now, but it's still there at the top.

In FF, the space is gone at the top but still at the bottom.

Oh boy, you better hope thepineapplehead doesn't show up here. How about a correct doctype and validating the page?

Too late :twisted:

Easy to fix though; end your tags, use lowercase, and reference external javascript.

Doh! :oops:

I'll try all that, thanks for the help thus far guys.

I'm having the same problem too. I've tried setting margins in the body element to get rid the space. Works fine for IE but FF leaves a space at the bottom. The css code looks like this:

body {
text-align : center;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

Anybody got a solution for FF would be great.

Maddison,
You really shouldn't hijack threads, start a new one if you have a question.

You don't provide enough information regarding your problem. The code that you do show should zero the top and bottom margins in firefox but this does not preclude something else going on to effect matters, which is why we need to see the context the code resides in.
