Wordpress Table Styles Nightmare

Hey Crew,

I'm having a real problem with posting a table I created in Photoshop (Which I stripped the HTML code down to the Table Div using Dreamweaver) and inserted it into a Wordpress V3.5.1 page. It appears that Wordpress is automatically inserting some cell padding between each Row in the table (it's not from Dreamweaver nor Photoshop). The result is all chopped up with white space between the rows.

At first I thought this was a CSS issue with Optimize Press. I checked out the style sheet for the template I was using, but didn't find the problem. Just incase I missed something I changed my Wordpress theme to the default and 3 others. I experienced the same issue,.. ruling out theme incompatibility.

Then I thought that maybe Wordpress might be changing or removing some of the html tags automatically. So I purchased 'RAW HTML PRO' Plugin and tried inserting my table wrapped in the RAW shortcodes. The result did not change.

My thoughts are not leaning toward Wordpress and how it handles tables.

If anyone has any experience dealing with this situation and can point me in the right direction, or has a workaround, I would welcome any suggestions.

If my description wasn't good enough, I can send images of what I'm taking about, or give you a link to the website so you can see what I'm talking about for yourself. I just won't post the site due to thread rules. Just PM me.

Thanks In Advance.

    Tpcmedia,

    It would be helpful to have a link to your website in order to see what it is that s happening. Have you tried looking at the site using chrome’s inspect element tool? You just right click anywhere on the page (but preferably where you are having the issue) and select inspect element. You will be able to see the HTML and corresponding CSS that make up the page. You can even edit the code right in the tool to see if changes will make any difference in your design. Its pretty useful.

    Hope that helps,

    Wordpress has a lot of table styling setup via CSS. It goes all the way back to Twenty10 and maybe even before that.

    Without seeing the page in question, and knowing what you want the table to look like, I would assume the CSS is effecting the way your table is getting presented.
