When adding code for a table into a weblog entry, large white spaces are added above and below the table. These spaces disrupt the flow of the page. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and were you able to find a solution to it?
My table HTML code is pretty standard:
<table>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<tr>

Make sure that you’ve set the text formatting on the field in question to “None”. If it’s set to the other options—“Auto
” or “Xhtml”—than EE will automatically convert any of the linebreaks in your table code. Hence all of the extra whitespace.
If you can’t change the text formatting—perhaps because there’s other content in that field that needs the auto-formatting—than you’ll have to remove all of the linebreaks from your table code, essentially putting it all on one line.

RESOLVED! You were on the nose with that one Opus! I changed the formatting in the weblog entry to “none” and the spaces collapsed.

Glad it worked for you. That really threw me for a loop until I remembered a similar situation on another CMS that I used.
