I made a default layout HTML that's simply composed of tables for where my includes and actual content will go. I've been messing with that to get my includes perfect before I start making more pages. However, the bottom cell keeps being way lower than it should be. If I edit layout.shtml in FP, the cell is in the perfectly place, but when I load in all four include files, it moves down and creates that white space.

Here is the page.

Ramac,
You had this at the bottom left under the menu which displaced your copyright bar a full inch.

Some editing of the spaces is required if that's where the problem is.

If the page only displaces after the SSI's are in there, you could also have extra lines in the actual include files, you might want to check those also.

Good idea, I'll take a look at that.

As far as all of those "<P align=center> </P>" go, I did see those in my basic layout HTML, however when I removed them it changed the width of the cells in the row above (the row with left, body, and right). So I removed those lines, then fixed the cells' widths, but the problem still occurred. So perhaps it is extra space at the bottom of the left and right include files.

Bah, it's still messed up!

I tried removing those lines from the layout HTML. I also checked the include files for erroneous lines. Still happens! And it appears as though those blank lines are STILL in the source of layout.shtml, even though I removed them. Here is MY source HTML prior to uploading (sorry, had to format it as .doc, otherwise it kept getting converted to HTML). As you can see it's very simple and does not have erroneous lines. So I don't get what's happening when it gets uploaded.

I just deleted this mess of spaces and duplication and it looks fine!

Unfortunately, the html is promptly converted into formatted form - all the "&nsbp"s? becoming spaces but the repeated blank paragraphs show. An item or two here may be needed but you'll get the idea. I've emailed you how it now is for me.

Thanks. I saw those blank lines before, but I thought they were within my CONTENT cell, so I thought they weren't affecting anything. Turns out they were in my left cell.
