Website Netscape Problem - odd margin issue

p

Hey,

Could anyone tell me why this site: http://cortex.redbrick.dcu.ie
Shows a white border in netscpae at the top.

I've set marginheight, topmargin etc... in the body tags which normall does it. I also tried using CSS to fix it but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

- Kevin

I can't look at it in NS 4 as mine is f*ckered, I did spot the problem in IE on http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~cortex/exps.html
There are ^M's at the top and bottom of the page, as far as I can remember these are bad line feeds.
Try getting rid of whitespace at the top of your documents.

Well, the problem exists on the local versions I have too, which don't have any of those problems with line spacing etc...

I thought i'd got rid of all those ^Ms but the program must have missed a few for some reason.

Thanks for the help though,
any other ideas?

I spent 1/2 an hour on this so you better appreciate. I had this little quirks of netscape ... i always have to find an answer when i get a problem.

The problem is with your last <tr>'s

you are using a class=credits and netscape doesn't like that, if you just put in

<TR>
<TD width="10%"> </TD>
<TD width="40%"> </TD>
<TD vAlign=bottom width="40%">Elements of this site require
the <A
href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">Flash
5</A> plugin. If you are unable to see the grid on the left of the screen
then you should download the plugin before proceeding.</TD>
<TD
width="10%"> </TD></TR>

without the class it will work

Thanks alot, that worked a charm.

I just replaced it with a span.

Curses Netscpape 4.x's sucky CSS support!
