New to ASP: HTML editing and superfluous spaces

[st]

Hi,

I'm new to ASP and come from a Windows Forms background. I've taken
over a project and find I'm spending far longer than I want organising
form layout.

I've a form with a layout based on various sections separated using
tables, rows and cells. When I preview the form, I see a lot of extra
space around the cells that isn't visible in design. I simply want to
strip this out but can't see where it's being added. If I manipulate
the size of the tables and cells, the space might shift from one area
to another, but again, this doesn't help with compacting. As far as I'm
concerned, I've squeezed the cells to their limit and shouldn't be
seeing extra space, but this isn't the case.

Anybody help with my understanding of what is going on.

Thanks,

Simon Lane

Control positioning in ASP.NET can be very complex or very easy, depending
on how much you know about it.
I suggest you read this to get up to speed:

Yes, the site seems to be having a problem at the moment. It should be
fixed by tomorrow.
