could you post an image of how it was supposed to look?
if not give all details what where is wrong....

are you referring to the space between the images?

**BoardTng** · 05-16-2005, 02:43 PM

This is what It's supposed to look like. The top left and right are the ones im using the includes on.

i am way too tired to solve that now ...

but i do know you have spaces between tags, like this:
<td> <img ....
remove them all so they look like this:
<td><img .... ></td>

also you have a lot of extra  's ....
doing all that aligned them a little better ... but i still had a very thin line between them and the black area was well aligned with the rest but not on the right but in the same place.

more than that i cannot help you with tonight ... sorry.

Hi,

I think you have some problems with the way you are including the "includes" as I counted 4 sets of <body> tags and 4 sets of <head> tags, as well as seeing html tags after the final closing </body> tag.

Omu's comments regarding the way you use the <img> tags in conjunction with the <td> tags is very relevant and will certainly help, but until you resolve the include issue, it will not be easy to sort this problem for good.

It would be helpful if you could post the code for Test1.php as well as all the includes so we will have a better idea where things might be going wrong.

Heres the script to the index.php with the includes:

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>I N I T I A L G R A P H I C S</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body background="Images/BG1.jpg" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<div align="center">
<table width="768" height="678" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="41" rowspan="2" align="right" valign="top">
<?php include('Navigation.php'); ?>
</td>
<td height="18" colspan="2" align="center" valign="top">
<?php include('Header.php'); ?>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center"></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="461" height="625" background="Images/BG2.JPG"></td>
<td width="165" align="right" valign="top"><p align="right">
<?php include('RNavigation.php'); ?>
</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Itd be more helpful if i can talk to somebody with aim or something. my sn is BoardTng

guessing nobody willing to help me out....weird you goto a place expect the people who know this stuff to help and get nothing.

Before you actually consider cussing us, think about is this a PHP or a HTML problem? PHP is simply a gateway, and it can only output data (unformatted, uncoloured, irrelavent). Now HTML, that's different, it makes everything look pretty, hence why it's a Markup Language. So when they're combined, it's pretty powerful.

So with this in mind, your problem has nothing to do with PHP, it isn't PHP that's making your images not match up, it's your HTML coding.

So now that you've slammed this forum, go and speak to the guys in the HTML, CSS, etc forum.

**BoardTng** · 09:57 PM

not slamming anybody and i didnt use any cussword, did i not? oh and btw its a mixture of php. Im new to it and Im just expecting the experts here. maybe yourself and others to join in and help someone out. There was a time and place youve need help before, I can assure.

**leavethisplace** · 05-16-2005, 10:14 PM

Sure, but i didn't wait less than an hour before i moaned. You did post at 1:50AM. You might have PHP involved in your problem, but i assure you it's HTML.

It looks like your problem lies in the table lay out, check this out. Your table width is 768 right? The TD width values you have in the table don't add up to 768.

This is just looking at the code you've posted. HTML code is a little annoying to look through, sorry. It looks to me like it's simply a table layout problem, and possibly having your image sizes wrong. That's what it's always been in the past with my layouts, just fiddle with sizes etc etc or post in the HMTL forum, someone might look through the whole code if you wait long enough.

BoardTng,

If you can post the code for each of the includes (Header.php, Navigation.php and RNavigation.php) I will look at it as soon as I get a chance. I think there is a lot of credence in what leavethisplace says about it being a HTML mark up problem, but I also think there may problems with your php includes due to the number of head and body tags appearing in the finished page. Without the code for the includes I cannot check this.

I think you'll find most people here are pretty helpful, but sometimes one has to be a little patient. I am more than willing to help you, but I hold down a full time job and run two (small) businesses in the hope that I can one day give up the full time job. This means that I don't have a huge amount of spare time. I am writing this from work where I have very limited Internet access and absolutely no access to any IM service. You also have to consider this is a world-wide environment that means people are often not in the same time-zone and can be as much as twelve hours ahead or behind you. Most people where I am (UK) will be in bed at the time you posted the code - I'm not because I'm working a night shift!

Ian

Hi,

Just to let you know I haven't forgotten about this.

I have spent about 2 hours looking at the code and the images used. Your layout is very complex with tables and nested tables, so it is making it pretty difficult to sort out when you factor in the fact that not everything is in one place due to the includes.

I am currently in the process of stitching together some of the images to try and simplfy the layout and therefore make it much easier to comprehend and add content to when you get to that stage.

Unfortunately, I have to go and see a client now and then go on to work, so it is going to be about this time tomorrow before I am able to make any more headway with this.

Regards

Ian
