Hey all,

I was wondering if you knew why my tables weren't extending all the way to the bottom on my new site. (I would assume it's doing the same to everyone that it is doing to me.) What's weird is if you refresh the page, it DOES extend all the way but when the page first loads, there's a white gap at the bottom. I'm gonna make the body color the same gray so that it won't happen but I was wondering why it does it in the first place.

???

Try adding height and width attributes for you <img> tags. I think what is happening is the browser "guesses" how much space to leave since for each graphic since you have not told it how big it is, then when it adusts the display of the page once it "figures out" how big each image is, it causes the anomoly you see. When you refresh a page, it "knows" how big each graphic is because it has been cached it from the previous load.

Hope that does the trick.

Thanks. I tried that but it didn't work. I would figure using the height/width attributes in tables would do the trick because they work by just filling up the page. The other weird thing is that it also does it offline through local directories. Likewise, the only images I have are in cells that specify a particular height as tall or taller than the images that inhabit those cells. I've also tried a bottommargin attribute to no avail.
