When entering a table into an articles page, the use of "returns" within the table seems to cause the table to begin further down the page then what it should.

Whereas when no "returns" are used within the html of the table the table sits at the top of the page!

Any help?

First, welcome to XOOPS!

This is a problem that's frustrated me for a long time as well. You'll also find you have "extra" line breaks when you hand code lists, paragraphs and so forth.

What I do is code my HTML in Dreamweaver then remove all line breaks, which puts all the HTML on one line. It's not as easy to read, but it renders much nicer.

Sorry, I don't have an answer as to *why* the modules insert the line breaks. I only have a work-around.

Best Regards,

James

hi,

i believe the problem with the extra lines is due to modules using the sanitizer method nl2br() which converts all new lines to br tags.

I hope I was clear, but what I mean is "remove all the newlines" in your text ... What happens ? The text editor sees the newlines in your html code, and puts them all above your table because they don't belong to your table ...

So just remove them all and make your table one long line without newlines ...

Hope you understand this complicate explication ...

Hi,
you don't say what module are you using ...
If it is smartsection, try to uncheck "Enable linebreak" under Options ...
