Space between navigation buttons...

[landmarqjames]

I seem to have a space appearing between the navigation buttons generated by Actinic (Design Options>Navigation). I've removed all unneccesary spaces from Act_NavigationItem.html and Act_NavigationImage.html but I'm still getting a gap between the buttons (specifically, to the right of each button)!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Can anyone help???

You can see what I mean here: LINK

(Note: the space only appears between buttons generated by Actinic - I've added two more buttons (News and Support) by editing the Primary templates and these are fine.

HELP!!!!

[Froogle]

In Act_NavigationItem.html search and delete all occurances of " " - that should remove the spaces.

[landmarqjames]

Hi, I've already done that - there must be a space in another template somewhere??

[Froogle]

Try going to Design > Text and go to ID 1241. Remove the   from there and try it out - i'm not sure but that looks like the culprit.

[landmarqjames]

There were 2   entries but these didn't seem to make any difference to the layout!!

Don't think it is a space causing the issue but the table the images sit into

[landmarqjames]

Any ideas as to where I need to look for this table layout??

[landmarqjames]

It's impossible!! I think I'm going to have to revert to text buttons

[jont]

Can remember spending ages trying to get the gap removed when I first got Actinic many many months back - in the end cheated and made the background the same colour as the modified buttons and lost the gap

Will have another play now I am wiser (and older) to see if it can be removed

I've noticed 2 things.

First from the search button the target is self and there is now a "class"

Second Is there a space between </b> <b> in my lines 8 and 11, or 9 and 13 as it's displayed here. I'm not sure what your line numbers will be but look for the </B> and delete the space after it, in fact the <B> </B> codes and space can probably go.

Let me know if its either of these.

[Froogle]

I cheated by just hardcoding the buttons i wanted into the primary template.

I have to say thats my main gripe with Actinic...it can take hours of searching templates and text IDs to remove a single line break or gap in your layout!

[jont]

Looks like the first 2 buttons are hard coded and the rest are Actinic generated and show the gaps.

The <b> tags are remnants from using text links and doing a similiar test in Dreamweaver with a space between <b> </b> caused a gap so may be worth looking at as Peter suggests

[landmarqjames]

I don't understand??

[landmarqjames]

I can't find the <B> </B> tags anywhere

[jont]

Argh - have edited the Act_NavigationItem.html down to the bare bones as follows

NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML
<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVLINK" TARGET="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTARGET"NETQUOTEVAR:MOUSEOVERCALL>NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE</A>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML

and still the gap so its not the class id or the <b> tags .... will need to find the table it is being inserted into.....
