This is embarassing...

Post by Joel Fagin »

Having wrestled and beaten some of the largest and most convoluted XHTML problems it's ever been my pleasure to obsess over, I now find the new Comic Genesis site stalled and myself beaten by a simple, straightforward table.

...help...

I've isolated the problem table away from all other code and uploaded it here. It's an IE only problem - possibly only IE 6 for that matter. There's a one pixel gap on the left hand side between the first and second cells.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Oh, the green dots are blank images, except I made them visible. Here they just fill the table cells.

I don't see anything. And I opened it in Firefox and IE... nothing.

Me either. I just see the links on top and that's it.

I don't know why this works, but..

Under the "Button bar" section in the coding, change

width="25"

to

width="26"

And IE will push shut the gap. At least, my copy of IE6 does. Firefox and Opera's displays are uneffected when you do this.

It has to be that first cell; if you change the width of any of the others, a new gap opens up somewhere else.

It works, Geoduck! Thanks!

(Although, I'd actually prefer to understand why...)

Hey was everyone else who couldn't see it IE6 or IE5?

Weird. Although I have just noticed it works in IE 6 in 800x600 mode. It's just 1024x768 fullscreen (and presumably above).

Neh. It works now. Image
