unwanted break after summary
|
Can't Post
|
|
I am still testing my site but I have a concern.
Every once and a while after I load an article an extra break gets added between the summary and the date on the homepage
see

I do not want this - I have checked there is no extra break in the article following the summary - any ides what is going wrong?
As usual - thanks in advance

Hi Margaret,
I wasn't able to see any extra breaks between the summary & date on your page. Are you still having problems?

margaretmh,
I may be taking a shot in the dark here, but I think what's causing those huge breaks on your page is the image divider being used.
At the moment I just happen to be browsing the net using a slow wireless connection. While the page loads, I do see a big gap between articles, but that gap disappears once the page fully loads. If that's what we're seeing, it turns out this gap is just an image placeholder that your browser inserts until that image is fully downloaded onto your machine to display. Computers on slower connections, or computers that fail to download that divider image may continue to show that gap you're seeing.
I recommend looking into replacing that image with an <hr> HTML tag. It serves as a horizontal divider, and it's plain code, so there won't be that gap problem; plus it can be styled with CSS to look much like what you have now.
Here are some links which go over some interesting techniques to coding in a horizontal rule:

Apart from that, I'd have to agree with Donna... I don't see what would cause any real gaps between your articles summaries...

Thanks for that suggestion. I think I am referring to a different problem that did not show up overnight because I (stupidly) put all of these one liner test articles up to try to solve a different problem I am having.
The issue I am talking about is now up on my homepage
http://southlandmedia.com.au/artman/publish/index.shtml
on that last listed article.
I have double checked the article itself an cannot see extra gaps and this has happened to me once or twice before so I thought it might be somehting I was doing wrong.
Your hint through about my dividers is very much appreciated and I think I will take your advice.
