HTML Help!
OK, I give up. I can't get the large space between the text and the table in this entry gone. Deep Green Crystals: Amazon beats E-Bay on price!. I have spent too much time on it. Any ideas? I don't see any code that says make three pages of spaces before the table. I exported the table from Excel as HTML and already took all the junk out that Excel put in. I have edited it in Frontpage and it previews ok there, but shows up wrong here. When I take the code from "< table >" to "< /table >" out, the spaces go away and the text shows up in correct order.
I am stymied...

you have a bunch of
tags in your code, and they are in the table, but outside of the individual table tags (TD and TR tags)
so the browser is processing all of those
's before the table, then displaying the table...
If you remove all of the
tags that are in between the open table and close table tags you will be good to go.

DOH! of course I can't type those tags in here...
remove all of the <BR /> tags from between your open and close table tags

Duh, I posted about this before. Damn w.bloggar AND the MT HTML editor insert the tags in for you. You don't see them in your entry, but they show up in the code that is rendered. So I take them out in the editor, and they show back up. You need to enter your tables like this
" · · Feedback price taxes shipping total % of price "
NOT like THIS, even though this is more readable
