Re: Unwanted Table Padding

This is a reply to the 3 responses I received. The solution received
from Chris works in Firefox but does not help in IE 6.

You would be better off using CSS for the layout instead of tables.

However, try this:

td valign="top" colspan="2" style="vertical-align: top;
padding-bottom: 0px; height: 1em;"

I have been able to ignore CSS .. up until now. I will definitely look
into doing much more with CSS.

The additional heigth attribute fixed it in Firefox, but did not do
anything in IE 6 (unfortunately 99% of the users access my site with
IE).

These are ALL level 1 headings? My general rule of thumb is one H1 per
page, with subheadings as needed.

You will do a lot better if you rethink this without presentational
markup. You might want to look up three column CSS, there are plenty of
examples out there.

The h1 headings were used in the example only to fill up the space.
Again, I will do my CSS homework.

[Is] there a reason to use both valign="top" and style="vertical-align:top;"?
I avoid the use of the HTML attribute, "valign", myself.

I don't know why, and I tend to agree with you.
