table tag help

[Flehmen]

G'day all,

Looking for a little help with the table tag.

Below is my sig code at the moment. So, my question is this, if you take a look at my sig you see several lines of space before the select entries. Is there a way to get rid of this space? Anyone suggest a better way to align those entries in columns? I'd like to take up the least vertical space possible. After all, our screens are wider than tall, why not use it.

Thanks for your help in advance!

[table]
 [tr]
  [td]
   The Seventh Hammer:
  [/td]
  [td]
   <select name=Tendiin>
    <option>Tendiin
    <option> Wood Elf Bard(36)  
    <option>   Apprentice Smith(196)
   </select>
  [/td]
  [td]   
   <select name=Seebi>
    <option>Seebi
    <option> Human Monk(26)
    <option>   Journeyman Brewer(248) 
    <option>   Apprentice Baker(138)
   </select>
  [/td]
  [td]
   <select name=Furlitiny>
    <option>Furlitiny
    <option> Gnome Enchanter(23)
    <option>   Apprentice Tailor(122)
    <option>   Apprentice Potter(113)
    <option>   Apprentice Smith(116)

I've fixed the spaces; just look it over to make sure I didn't introduce any typos in the process.

The problem was that you had everything spaced out on its own lines. That's good practice when coding a web page, but causes problems on message boards that can handle both html and uncoded text. Web pages ignore the extra spaces and carriage returns, but the boards display it all. You have to scrunch your code up into one big paragraph to get it to display right.

Take care!
