Hi Federacafe,
I’m sorry that you are having this problem. What version of ExpressionEngine are you using and could you post up the contents of the template that is having this trouble?

Hi Federacafe,
I don’t see anything wrong with that code strait away. Could you post up the code of your {embed="fnc/inc_header_code"} as well. I also see that you have some javascript that was eaten by the forum - feel free to post that using a pastie. Finally, could you list all the third party addons that you are using on this site?
I would also like to recommend that you upgrade to 1.7.2 if possible.

{if country_code == "es"}

</style>
{if:else}

{/if}

Hi Federacafe,
The only difference I can see between what you have in your template and examples I was able to find are a line break:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">If you add a line break to your declaration at that same point, does the whitespace go away?
Cheers,

hi, dan and sean thanks a lot for help
but any recomendation work well. I trying to describe the site becouse i wanna you have a better idea
let me tell you, this site has 2 parts, each one have a diferent index, the first one (fnc) has a little part of code, with the line break it suggested dan:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>{site_name}</title>
[removed]
var time = null
function pageredir() {
[removed] = '{site_url}'
}
[removed]
</head>
<body >
Será redirigido al sitio principal en pocos segundos, si no ocurre favor <a href="http://{site_url}">siga este enlace.</a> Gracias.
</body>
</html>the second part (particulares), which i put in #2 post,it already has the line break.
if i check the database on the templates table i don’t see extrange simbols and anything out off normal.
plus that, ee has 14 sites and only one with this problem, if you want, you could check http://www.cafedecolombia.com and www.federaciondecafeteros.org

Hello Federacafe,
I am sorry to hear this is still an problem.
Can you try entering the text in by hand? Just drop the doctype down one line, then type the line above it and then blow away the original doctype line. Maybe there is some formatting that is messing things up.
Thank you,

Hi Federacafe,
I appreciate you trying to find a solution! However, I’m fairly confident that is not going to be the problem here. ExpressionEngine is written with practices that ensure there won’t be any whitespace, etc. at the end of our files.
Can I get you to create an entirely separate and basic template for a test? On the site that is inserting the spaces, use just this in a new template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
TEST
</body>
</html>Please let me know the result of that.
Cheers,

Hi Dan, the whitespaces are on the first line
you can see the source code in http://narino.cafedecolombia.com/jorge
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
TEST
</body>

Hello Federacafe,
Please be on the lookout for an email.
