Aligning "rectangle_top.tpl" to "customer/hom

I'm in the process of designing the header for my site and I can't get the home.tpl to butt up against the rectangle_top.tpl. I would like the top search bar to be directly under my design table. I don't see any
or tags that should drop it from this position. Am I missing something? Thanks anyone.

This may be the table that holds the serach box. Try aligning that table left or right...

Extra lines of white space?

Make sure you have closed <TD>with</TD> with no white space.
In some cases these are not the same as:

Code:

<TD colspan=5 BACKGROUND="{$ImagesDir}/top_bar_shadow.gif" height=15>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</TD>

Code:

<TD colspan=5 BACKGROUND="{$ImagesDir}/top_bar_shadow.gif" height=15>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]

</TD>

and this:

Code:

<TD colspan=5 BACKGROUND="{$ImagesDir}/top_bar_shadow.gif" height=15>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img] </TD>

some browsers may introduce what looks like a boarder when you have border=0.

MS even say:

Quote:

To keep out unwanted white space, be sure that the enclosing <td> and </td> tags are flush against the content of the cell, with no extra spaces or returns.

:roll:

I am sure you are aware that the closing </TD> is often in a different .tpl :wink:
