>hello -
first, let me state that i am an Asp.Net rookie.
Doesn't matter, this sounds more like an HTML problem, albeit one
probably caused by the IDE.
>here is the situation:
i have a page that looks good in the vs.net designer, but when the page
renders there are extra amounts (vertically) of space between controls. i
have all of the controls in a table, to help line them up,
Side issue, but you shouldn't be doing this. There was an excuse for
using tables for layout maybe seven or eight years ago, but nowadays
there's no excuse for it. Use CSS and you will see significant benefits.
Search Google for web design standards and read up a bit and you'll see
what I mean.
and I have
reviewed the html to verify that there are no extra spaces or paragraphs or
breaks between the controls. however, when i run the web site, the controls
have extra spacing.
Look at the source that is produced. Are there spaces or line breaks
there? Many browsers incorrectly treat these are real space and move
other elements apart.
>is there anything i can check or look at to help with this?
Maybe post some of the HTML. Just a small sample that exhibits the
problem. Can't really diagnose it without seeing some code.
Also, check you are in standards mode not quirks mode as that can affect
how the browser renders your page. Again, search Google for info if you
don't know what this means.
