Hi,
Do you mean the gap between the green heading of the first item on the page and the black text of that first item? |

The difference between that first article, and the second one is that the green heading in is a paragraph format, whereas the green heading of the next article isn't, so when the first one ends, it closes the paragraph, producing a paragraph break.
Also, you don't need to put each one in their own table... |

Hello Roger,
Yes, the break under the green heading is my concern. The paragraph break causes this... so I need to change the html code to.. with no close... is this what I should aim for?
Many thanks for your time... you're good to me!
Cheers, ChrisP |

Roger... I see that the forum posting automatically removed the html I put in... I meant the break code of pointy brackets either side of 'BR'... |

yes, replace the closing p in the pointy brackets with br and remove the open p from before the heading.
See how you go. If it gets messed up, I'll go in and fix it all up for you  |

Umm... ok, I tried a variety of code including just the (green) font colour code and no 'br' or 'p' and just as you you have suggested... just wiking in the 'source' window. It looks clean and apparently similar to the entries below... I may need to ask for your intervention... but if there's something I've miised I'd dearly like to be wiser for the experience too...! Cheers, ChrisP. |

Hi,
Not real sure what was going on there, possibly due to the table cell alignment being centre, and the image was higher than the height of all the text in the cell next to it, so I set them to be aligned to top, and I removed all the paragraph tags and moved the headings into the tables, and it's behaving now. I also added a heading to that page... I think pages should have headings, and it helps with Google rankings too, because Google looks at what's in the h1 heading tags when indexing your site. |

Wow! Thanks for sleuthing and being patient with this. We are expecting to be assessed for an award we've entered and this would have looked a bit off - so many thanks!
Cheers, ChrisP. |
