Extra line breaks

[six42]

On my gallery i have inserted some google ads just below the menu at the top. The problem Im having is that there is now a large gap between the ads and the start of the gallery. Attached is a demo, there is about 4 line breaks, where i would only like there to be one.

Please post a link to your site. Extra space can be caused by a number of things and we would need to look at the code to evaluate.

Although its there by default even without the ads, its just that the ads make the gap look even bigger

Any ideas anyone?

Not without seeing your code.

I see this in your HTML source after the AdSense code and before the album table:

Code Select Expand

<br />
                                        <br>&nbsp;
                                       
                                </td>
                        </tr>

                </table>
                <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="15" /><br />
                <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                                <td align="center" valign="top">
                                       
                                       


<!-- Start standard table -->

<table align="center" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">



</table>

<!-- End standard table -->

Notice how there are a lot of line breaks and even an empty table. Please post the code where you added AdSense in your file, plus the surrounding code for context.

I put the code in theme.php, here it is -

Code Select Expand

                        <a href="{LASTUP_TGT}">{LASTUP_LNK}</a>

What im trying to say though, is that those line breaks were always there, its part of the theme to make it not look bunched up. But when i put the ads in, it makes the gap look even bigger. I would like to replace those breaks with the ads, but the breaks arent in theme.php (at least i cant find them)

OK,

the theme you are using has been updated, with some extra tables/cells and breaks removed.  The theme.php you are using is id 1.4, but the latest is id 1.8.

I've added your banner to the latest file, and attached it here.  Please try it and let us know if it works.

[six42]

No it still doesnt work, the line breaks are still there 

[Casper]

Are you sure you changed it.  Your source code is still showing as file version 1.4 but the one I attached is 1.8.

[Nibbler]

The version in the source is that of the template.html.

[Casper]

DOH 

time to go for a beer I think, 

[six42]

I managed to fix it by removing the language/theme code and the spacer image from template.html

Thanks anyways
