Very annoying gap...

Apr 10th, 2008

Ok this is not to advertise my site at all (it's quite empty right now as i'm still working on the layout.

If you go to http://www.pektop.be you'll see a black gap between my top section and my middle section, I've literally been searching for hours why it does this but i can't seem to find it

please help.

(you can right-click source code for it)

There is some php in it

Any chance of you being a little more specific as to which sections (putting Here1 and Here2 would have been very helpful).

Well, for a "quick fix"...
right after you middle div...
add a non breaking space...

(Toggle Plain Text)

<div id="middle">&nbsp;

Of course, it would help if you had a Doc Type, had a 0 (zero) for padding rather than an O (Capital letter o) etc. etc.

Use it to check as you build, saves lots of annoying little confusions.

The Nav Bar at the top seems a little messed up in Firefox. When you hover over one of the links all of the links to the left of it change to underneath it and blink. Very annoying, unless of course its for the feel of the website.
