Need a little help with Dreamweaver
Hi,
I am a postgrad student doing Museum Studies and for one of my courses I have to design a simple website using Dreamweaver. Its all going fine except for one page. While this page appears fine within Dreamweaver, once I preview it in IE the spacing of the navigation bar down the left hand side is all stretched out with huge gaps between the buttons. Each button is in its own cell. I know this description is pretty vague but can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Its driving me nuts - any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Re: Need a little help with Dreamweaver
You need to give us some code! A link would be preferable.
We are not mind readers.

Re: Need a little help with Dreamweaver
Sorry, I'm a complete beginner at this. Here is the code for the page:
<body> <table width="765" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#D6D6CE"> <!--DWLayoutDefaultTable--> <tr> <td width="167" height="93" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td colspan="6" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><h3 class="style1"><img src="images/title%20banner.gif" width="594" height="93"></h3></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" nowrap bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="center" class="style1"><a href="about"> </a><a href="index1.htm"><img src="images/home%20button.gif" alt="Home page" width="167" height="50" border="0"></a></div></td> <td width="9" rowspan="14" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td width="18" rowspan="14" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td width="518" rowspan="12" valign="top" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><img src="images/childrens%20university%20logo.gif" width="334" height="136"></p> <p align="left"><a name="Origins"></a><a name="top"></a> </p> <p class="style1"> </p> <p class="style1"><strong>The origins of the Children's University </strong></p> <p class="style1">The Children's University is a scheme run by local LEAs that awards children who take part in activities outside of school hours. The scheme, which began in Birmingham in 1993, aims to <strong>‘create a platform upon which young people could recognise and explore their potential as learners.'</strong></p> <p class="style1"><a href="#top">back to top </a></p> <p class="style1"><a name="About"></a></p> <p class="style3">About the Children's University at the Egypt Centre</p> <p class="style1">The Egypt Centre has run a successful child volunteer program for over six years but previously had no way to credit the children for their hard work and commitment. In 2005 the Egypt Centre joined the Children's University. </p> <p class="style1">The scheme operates across three age groups:</p> <ul> <li class="style1"> Kid’s College (Years 1 – 3) Ages 5-8 </li> <li class="style1"> Children’s University (Years 4 – 8) Ages 9-13 </li> <li class="style1"> Youth University (Years 9 – 13) Ages 14-19 </li> </ul> <p class="style1">Students earn credits for the amount of time spent in learning activities out of school hours and their community contribution. These credits are banked by the Schools Service on a database in County Hall. Bank Statements are issued termly to each student. </p> <p class="style1"><a href="#top">back to top </a></p> <p class="style1"><a name="Modules"></a></p> <p class="style3"> </p> <p class="style3">What modules can you study? </p> <p class="style1">The Egypt Centre devised a programme of 24 modules that cover both Egyptological and Museological topics. These include: </p> <ul> <li class="style1">Egyptian history and civillisation </li> <li class="style1">Preventitive conservation</li> <li class="style1">Famous archaeologists and explorers </li> <li class="style1">Mummification</li> <li class="style1">Customer care</li> <li class="style1">Toys and games of ancient Egypt</li> <li class="style1">Egyptian kings and queens </li> <li class="style1">Material culture </li> </ul> <p class="style1">The students spend 2 hours working on each module and then for the rest of that day they become the resident ‘experts’ on that subject. It takes around one month to complete each module.</p> <p class="style1"><a href="#top">back to top </a></p> <p class="style3"><a name="Awards"></a></p> <p class="style3"> </p> <p class="style3">What awards can you earn? </p> <p class="style1">Students recieve a certificate on completion of each module and accumulative bronze, silver and gold awards which are presented at special graduation ceremonies. </p> <p class="style1">Over four hundred young people and their families attended the last of these ceremonies where awards were presented by the vice chancellor. </p> <p class="style1"><a href="#top">back to top </a></p> <p class="style1"><a name="Benefits"></a></p> <p class="style3"> </p> <p class="style3">What are the benefits of the Children's University?</p> <p class="style1">Many of the young people attending the Children's University come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The scheme enables them to build self-esteem and use their out of school hours in a fulfilling way while recognising their effort and commitment. </p> <p class="style1">In addition to the graduation ceremonies Swansea University has agreed to recognise the achievements of the young people taking by guaranteeing those who apply to study there an interview if they achieve a bronze, silver or gold award with the Children’s University Swansea, irrespective of their academic ability. </p> <p class="style1">The scheme also benefits students at Swansea University by giving them an excellent opportunity to gain teaching experience, while visitors to the Egypt Centre enjoy an imaginative and different tour of the museum courtesy of the child volunteers. </p> <p><span class="style1"><a href="#top">back to top </a></span></p> </td> <td width="4" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td width="44" height="56" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td width="5" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" nowrap bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><a href="about.htm"><img src="images/about%20button.gif" alt="About the Egypt Centre" width="167" height="50" border="0"></a></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td height="58" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" nowrap bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><img src="images/childrens%20button.gif" width="164" height="49"></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="32" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="right"><a href="#Origins"><img src="images/origins.gif" width="83" height="25" border="0"></a></div></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="33" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="right"><a href="#About"><img src="images/About.gif" width="83" height="25" border="0"></a></div></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="34" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="right"><a href="#Modules"><img src="images/modules.gif" width="83" height="25" border="0"></a></div></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="34" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="right"><a href="#Awards"><img src="images/awards.gif" width="83" height="25" border="0"></a></div></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="34" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><div align="right"><a href="#Benefits"><img src="images/benefits.gif" width="83" height="25" border="0"></a></div></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><a href="feedback.htm"><img src="images/feedback%20button.gif" alt="What do the children think?" width="167" height="50" border="0"></a></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><a href="photos.htm"><img src="images/gallery%20button.gif" alt="Photo gallery" width="167" height="50" border="0"></a></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="56" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><img src="images/copyright%20button.gif" width="167" height="50"></td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="167" height="204" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="4" valign="top" bgcolor="#9CCE9C"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td height="2"></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="32" valign="top" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="center" class="style1"></div></td> <td rowspan="3" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td rowspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><!--DWLayoutEmptyCell--> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="84" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="17" colspan="3" valign="top"><div align="center" class="style2"></div></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> </tr> </table> </body>

Re: Need a little help with Dreamweaver
Please use the vbCode [ code ] tag to wrap you code in!
I don't even know where your menu is in this!  You don't have a link huh? That would be soooo much better since you have images. Just put it on freewebs or something like that.Last edited by karinne; Mar 7th, 2007 at 15:56.

Re: Need a little help with Dreamweaver
I plopped the code into my dreamweaver program to see what you were doing.
Highlight each table row. (Place your mouse cursor just to the left of each table row and an arrow will appear. When you see the arrow click to select that row. Set the Height in the properties window to 25 (the height of your image). That will take the spaces out between each image.
