Re: Newbie - strange problem (with frames) - help ?

Hello,

problem as follows:

I have made a webpage with 3 frames

left | main
footer

but for some reason, when I put table on main.html, it leaves a blank
space
on right edge, I cannot make the first line complete from left edge to
right
edge. Code follows, can someone help me with this one ?

You might want to reconsider your use of frames. There is rarely a good
reason to use frames and they pretty much scream "newbie!". That said, take
a look at your HTML again and make sure that you don't have any spaces or
'carriage returns' anywhere before or after the problem area. Sometimes you
can't see them, so you have to backspace or delete around that area.

PS: Next time send us a URL to the page and we can see the actual live
HTML.

Try the following in the table tag on main.html
style="border-collapse:collapse"

Jane - there's nothing you can do about that. It's the nature of HTML. If you
centre the table you'll get an equal space either end. At least that doesn't
look so bad. Alternatively make the table width 90% then it will read better,
especially on large monitors. Another option is to have the table background
colour the same as the page colour so nobody will notice the oddity.

Jane - Here's a quick few pages I knocked together quickly using your
slightly-modified mark up. The awful colours are used just to illustrate the
frames and the HTML is likely to be messy as it was done hurriedly. The link
target name has to be exactly the same as the target frame name. No mixing up
of CAPITALS and lower-case.
