  1. POHTML form with multiple embedded tables, a lot of white space at top of page
    text
    copied!<p>I am having issues with a form I am trying to do in .php</p> <p>I used tables, within the form, to format how I want the form to look like. The form is working correctly. But when I load the page, there is a huge white space at the top of the page, but I have no idea why it is there. I have tried looking at the source code in the web browser, and there are no html white space characters or anything out of the ordinary. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $strRequester = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; echo "&lt;div align=center&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;form name='SandwichOrder' action='$strRequester' method='POST'&gt;\n"; ####Bread#### echo "&lt;table&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor='CCCCCC'&gt;&lt;input type='radio' name='size' value='whole'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whole Sandwich&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;td bgcolor='CCCCCC'&gt;&lt;input type='radio' name='size' value='half'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Half Sandwich&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor='CCCCCC'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Choose Your Roll/Bread:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;tr&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='radio' name='bread' value='whiteroll'&gt;White French Roll&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='radio' name='bread' value='sourroll'&gt;Sour Dough Roll&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br&gt;\n";

?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have also tried putting the entire form into a table, but that did not help either. Any suggestions would be great. I am fairly new to .php and html and so I do not even know where to start, in trouble shooting this issue.</p>
