http://www.zerocattle.com/examples/images/thebarrennorth.jpg do you see something different from this?

You can edit this part to change the spaces:

.main ul, .main p, .loginvote p, .login p {
margin: 5px 10px;
}

.login p {
font-size: 11px;
}

You can edit the margins, set up new declarations, et cetera.

They affect this part of the code:

Adventure Board Login

Username:
Sign Up
Password:

sry, it's actually message board login, like you said.
it's not a huge space. i'm just wondering how to reduce the space between "username" and "message board login" (which is now corrected to "adventure board login"). it's a little larger than the space between the login box and the guestbook header line. for some reason, i think it makes the page look a little strange, lol.

See the problem is I don't see "adventure board login" ANYWHERE.

There is "Message Board Login" but I don't see any weird spacing between that and the username?

What browser and OS?

i'm using IE6 with 1024x768 resolution. i want to reduce the grey space on the left between the "username" text and "adventure board login" text.

Edit the CSS for the form? I'm not sure what you're seeing. What browser/OS do you have, there may be a bug you need to work around.

by the way, how can i reduce the space between "adventure board login" and "username"?

sry, i missed that. i was in a rush last night.

i used your code (slightly modified) instead of my pile of junk. if you look at the site now, it looks MUCH, much better, and with almost litterally half the code. the css made a huge improvment, too.

i'll now work on validating it, i guess... thanks!!

skyraider -- do look at the sample fix, as it shaves off a LOT of code and can be a starting place for your own work with the template.

thanks for your help, Greg. the problem is now solved.

Suzanne, i have to clean up the code, i know. it's a mess. i didn't make the template, though. thanks for the tips.

Holy bloated code, batman!

Why do you have entire tables devoted to holding a single image or TWO tables to make a single black line!??

Okay, answering your question first:

It's most likely the heights in the tables that are causing you problems, but also you have some issues with validation.

Now tips:

Don't use when you're using CSS, just use CSS.

See sample fix with lighter HTML and more use of CSS -- it's not valid, either, it's just a half-way point to show you how to proceed.
