Padding between Flash and Image

[Paul McKenna]

Hello

Here is my code:

<div>
<span>
... Flash object...
</span>
<span>
<img src="a.gif">
</span>
<span>
<table>
<tr>
<td>asdasd</td>
</tr>
</table>
</span>
</div>

All the above divs and spans have been assigned the following using a CSS

margin:0px 0px 0px 0px
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px
border-width:0px;

Still there is a padding between the flash and the image and the table. Can
someone point where I am going wrong?

Thank You

If you have the following in your web page, on two lines as shown, what
would you expect to see?

<p>Today is the first day
of the rest of your life.</p>

Hopefully you'd expect to see a space between "day" and "of".

Now compare this code with yours.

Span is an inline element, so it cannot contain block level elements like
table. I'm not sure if any browsers have trouble with inline block
elements like object within inline elements.
All the above divs and spans have been assigned the following using a CSS

margin:0px 0px 0px 0px
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px
border-width:0px;
No need to set units for 0 distances.

margin: 0; padding: 0, border-width: 0;

I don't see why you even need spans here. Eliminate them, or replace with
divs.

Your spans are all separated by line breaks, just like my sample code
above. You're complaining that there's a space between your spans. If
you expect to see such a space in my example, then you should expect
to see such a space in yours, for the same reason. If you're surprised
to see a space on your page, wouldn't you expect my code to display as

Today is the first dayof the rest of your life.

Actually, I wasn't even reading your code properly. It isn't valid in the
first place. SPAN tags can only go around inline code, not around blocks. If
your browser is accepting the code and displaying the page, then it's
probably displaying the blocks vertically as though the SPAN tags weren't
there, and you're talking about *vertical* spacing. (I was talking about
horizontal spacing.) But there's no point in my taking time guessing what
your browser is doing with invalid code. Make it valid first, then see what
happens.

It is valid, the CSS validator found no fault with the CSS. However
the html portion did have the error as pointed out. I have rectified
it and got the appropriate layout. Thanks to everyone for helping out

Since I was talking about your HTML and not your CSS, what the CSS
validator found is irrelevant.
However
the html portion did have the error as pointed out.
In other words, it was invalid, as I said. So why did you bring up the
CSS validator?
I have rectified
it and got the appropriate layout. Thanks to everyone for helping out

If the HTML is not valid, the CSS is immaterial. Always, always, get the
HTML valid first before even worrying about the CSS.
