Trying to post a table and it has a ton of dead space at the beginning. What is the trick to get it to show properly?

Take out all the line
feeds between the HTML.

Isn't there a shortcut way to replace the spaces or something?

Copy and paste the text into Microsoft Word
Use the "Replace" (CTRL+H) feature to convert:

^p

to nothing, and that should put it all on one line.

didnt I teach you this a long time ago
and you had it figured out and was doing it fine?


its just the replace ^p as mentioned above

gotta remove paragraph makes because vbulletin doesnt like those spaces in the code

Yeah, but the key is a long time ago ;). Actually, you just did it for me I think. I only have notepad, and it's not working.

You can't auto-replace that character in Notepad. You need to go line-by-line and remove the extra line breaks.

Can you do it in wordpad? And what exactly do you mean by linebreaks? <*p>?

[Adam Tyner]

Not to my knowledge.

By "line break", I mean what separates

this
word
from
this
word

Your table needs to be on one line, like:

&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;hello&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;this is a sample table I'm making up for Quake&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2"&gt;to show a point, I guess&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

yep, everytime enter is hit, it creates a paragraph mark
then you get gaps in the code.. and that drives vbulletin nuts
