Why Does This Happen??

11 replies
Hey all,

Why does dreamweaver do this when I enter content into part of my page?



As you can see on the image, the table on the template has moved down, and continues to move down when ever I write content on my page using dreamweaver.

How do I prevent this, how do I glue that table so it doesn't move when I place stuff on my page?

Thanks

    Try valign Top in the table row properties.
    <tr valign="top">

    Do you have the tables set to align at the top? A right click with table properties should give you alignment options.

    You have to go into the code view and find the corresponding table row (<tr>)
    Then add the element valign to it.

    Tell me, are you doing a 2 column or a 3 column design? What I will do if you pm me is I will send you a template that does tabular design without tables. That way you don't have these issues and you wont have to worry when Google starts slapping for misusing tables like that.

      It's 3 column, and no thanks i would like to keep this template, since its one I purchased

      Anyhow, I have been stuck on this for 5 hours now and so far, nothing has changed EXCEPT it works in IE explorer, but not firefox.

      The code for the table IS

      Code:
      <tr valign="top">
                                          <td id="sidebar"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="box6">
                                                  <tr>
                                                    <td class="box-style2"><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                                                              <tr>
                                                                  <td><h2 class="title">Content </h2></td>
                                                              </tr>
                                                              <tr>

    You need to do the tr valign inside the table tags on the corresponding table row not outside the table.

    Sorry mean <td valign="top">

      I didnt make this template, I purchased it so all the coding is already there, so I just copied that tables coding I might have added the tr valign by mistake but I dont know,

      Also I have tried that and nothing happened :confused: but thanks anyway
