Re: Image display and white space

Hi all

I'm tearing my hair out trying to sort what I think should be a simple
problem.
....
http://rnetworks2002.users.btopenwor...test/grid.html
....
Using HTML strict, ..

Not according to the validator. It does not seem to
recognise the doctype, and complains about the
missing charset.

After specifying doctype and charset I still got 1 error
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...rs.btopenw or
ld.com%2Fcsstest%2Fgrid.html&doctype=HTML+4.01+Str ict&charset=iso-8859-1+%28
Western+Europe%29

..I'm trying to find a robust way of displaying images with
no breaks between them (er, like you can do using tables) but the newlines
in the HTML seem to screw things up in different ways between different
browsers. It's not even reliable to remove the newlines completely, let
alone what that does for readability in more complicated examples.

I started to play with the source you supplied,
creating three versions locally.
The first was as-is, exactly as you have it.
The 2nd was 4.01 strict, charset 8859-1
The 3rd was 4.01 transitional, charset ditto..

Tested in IE 6, NN 4.8, Moz 1.4(?) on XP.

IE/NN 4.8 - no space, all three versions
Mozilla - space in first two, only _transitional_
got rid of the space.

No idea why. [ That is an exercise for you! ;-) ]

Fixed the missing charset declaration (it was only a quick cobble of a
file - sorry)

Can't immediately see why it still gives one validation error, but don't
_think_ that affects the problem.

Ah, that's just it - why?? What's going on, and how to get round it? Or is
{position} the only solution? Can't think this hasn't been solved before -
after all, it works fine using tables !!

I also dropped in a page title and author attribute,
maybe that made the validator happy..

'00' is yours, '01' is strict
