Cell spacing problems

[Wanda Tucker]

Good morning,
I'm very, very new to any sort of writing code, and need help with setting the height/width of a cell within a table, within a freeform. The SITES grid, in the attached file, contains a freeform based on the Site_Id field. Within this freeform are several tables. In the lower table, the text is not lining up properly in the rows beginning with Earthquake, and the one below it, Flood. In addition, the heighth of the cell is greater than the heighth in the 3rd and remaining rows. Notice that the Earthquake row has a button (as well as the 3rd row) on the right-hand side., which I think is throwing the heighth off, yet I can't figure out how to fix it.

Would someone please take a look and hopefully spot what is causing the problem (and let me know how to fix it)?

Here is the code:

</table><table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="C:\Program Files\A5V7\Stylesheet Bitmaps\earthy.jpg">
	<tr>
		<td width=135 background="" bgColor=#993300>
      <p align=right><strong><font 
      color=#ffffff>&nbsp;Earthquake:</font></strong></p></td>
		<td width=25 background="">&nbsp;{equake}</td>
		<td width=135 background="" bgColor=#993300>
      <p align=right>&nbsp;<strong><font 
    color=#ffffff>Dorm:</font></strong></p></td>
		<td width=25 background="">
      <p align=left>&nbsp;{Dorm}</p></td>
    <td width=10>&nbsp;<strong>|</strong></td>
		<td width=470 background="" 
      >
      <p align=center><button id=button_adv2 
      style="WIDTH: 266px; HEIGHT: 22px" 
      onclick="document.forms['foo2'].submit()" name=button_adv2>

Thank you,

If you look toward the bottom of your code, you'll see a messed up form closing tag along with a messed up body tag. While that may not be the source of your problem, it sure can't help. I

Just like the [code][/code] tags, there are [html][/html] tags available on the message board, which I edited your post to include.

For more information, see this thread:

Thank you, Aaron.

The code was automatically generated, I did not write it, so I assumed it was all correct. I added your suggested code to the bottom and have the same cell spacing problems, and don't see that this editing has made any difference at all.

I will try deleting the affected rows and add them back in to see if this "resets" the cell/row/whatever spacing. Other than that, I can't find anything in Help about cell heighth and width (other than setting it in pixels or percents, which doesn't fix the problem).

I'm hoping someone can tell me why the 2nd button on the right doesn't throw the rows below it off, yet the 1st button does.

Thank you,
Wanda

Just to let you know my "fix"...nothing more than inserting two rows, and placing the fields/buttons on the new rows, then I deleted the offending rows. Problem solved, except that I don't know what the reason for the original problem was...
Thanks,
