Using HTML in BBCode Page Creates Gap

JacobiB · #1 08-21-2005, 06:29 PM

Alright, here's a problem I just can't seem to figure out: When I use a BBCode Custom Page Content to display information for one of my pages, and when I use HTML within the BBCode page, it creates a large gap between text. You see, the different lines of HTML code within the angle-brackets (><) count as breaks in the page for some reason, even though there's really not supposed to be anything there. I crammed all of my code into a few lines as possible, but I still have a problem.

Here's the page I'm talking about:

http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/in...?page=profiles

Here's the code I'm using:

Code:

Collective Member Profiles 

On this page, you can view a Character Profile for each member of The Collective. Note that not everyone has submitted a profile as of yet, as the collection is still in its growing phase. Click on a username below to view that member's profile. 
<html><font face="Verdana" size=2 color=white><table width="75%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr><td width="25%"><strong>Name</strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Hovercraft</strong></td><td width="25%"><strong>Position</strong></td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=calliente" target="_self">Calliente</a></td><td>Necrosis</td><td>Crew Member</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=jacobib" target="_self">JacobiB</a></td><td>Anacreon</td><td>Captain</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=remagdiv" target="_self">Remag Div</a></td><td>Babbage</td><td>Crew Member</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=sattakan" target="_self">Sattakan</a></td><td>Hyperion</td><td>Captain</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=snyden" target="_self">Snyden</a></td><td>Odysseus</td><td>Crew Member</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=spykes" target="_self">Spykes</a></td><td>Hyperion</td><td>Lieutenant</td></tr>  <tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=sugaree" target="_self">Sugaree</a></td><td>Packetstorm</td><td>Captain</td></tr><tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=trexx" target="_self">Trexx</a></td><td>Hyperion</td><td>Crew Member</td></tr>  <tr>
<td><a href="http://www.thecollectiveguild.com/index.php?page=upstream" target="_self">Upstream</a></td><td>Babbage</td><td>Lieutenant</td></tr> 
</table></html>

...except it's all scrunched together in my ACP editor box, it isn't distributed into even lines like you see above.

I just can't figure out how to make that gap disappear. Any and all help will be much appreciated...thanks!

It may be the BB code parser adding them, but you've got all kinds of <br /> tags between each of your <tr> <td> tags. If it's not you adding them, you'll probably want to change that module to a template module and just enter your code in a template.

Yeah, I'm not the one adding the <br> tags. I'll try the template idea.

I apologize for being such a Newbie here, and for the double-post, but I'm new to vBa and don't understand how Templates work. Would someone be willing to explain to me how you enter what code you want into a template, because I'm confused as to how you actually edit the custom content on a template page. Thanks.

First, copy the content that you've added in the BB code page. Keep in mind as well that if you used any BB code formatting that you will need to convert it to HTML. Then, at the top of the page for that module, use the 'Change Module Type' option to change it to a Template module. Scroll down a little until you see the template options, choose a name for the template, and then add your content in the box provided below that. Then if you want to edit that template later, just go to the Style Manager in your admin cp, click the << >> button next to that style, and you should see the template listed there.
