Soo...

I was editing one of my pet pages, and I think i'm mostly done, all except for this big block of empty space at the bottom. Why is it there? I can't figure out what's causing it, or how to get rid of it. :C help?

Pet page is here-x

Well, I don't know what's causing it, but I know of one way to get it 'gone'. I don't know how large your screen is, but my laptop can hold your page without having to scroll. If that is the case at your screen as well, you could simply hide the scrollbar. Like this:

body {overflow: hidden;}

Thanks Hongske!

That works, but what about other people who have smaller screens? A friend of mine has a mini laptop, and i'm sure it wouldn't show the whole thing. :C

Hmm, you're right about that. I took another look at your profile, and I think it might be your Friends box that's the problem. If you add

td {background: pink;}

you can see that there's an extra cell at the bottom. Normally the friends section goes there, so maybe that's the thing?

hmm.. i put that code in, and your right. there's an empty cell at the bottom of the screen, i suppose from my treasure chest or friends box? I wonder, is there a way to get rid of it? o:

thanks again for all your help Hongske. C:

I checked and it is your treasure chest... For some reason its background doesn't move with it (most likely because the treasure chest is a table in the cell of another table) and that causes the space to appear. :/

And no problem, I like helping out. :3

:/ hmmmn.

So, is that table movable then, the one the treasure chest usually sits in? I mean, if the treasure chest is movable, then why not the other table too? o:

Because it doesn't have an id/name.

Well, I've tried using the td+td/tr+tr method, but that doesn't seem to work. It might be possible, but I can't figure out how. :/

I'm sorry...

I looked at it yesterday and there were a few unnecessary codes in it but I was lazy 😊 I've fixed it but since you changed it I don't have the original code thus you'll still need to alter a few things.

=code sent=

[edit] No problem :] I rebuilt the code so I can't pinpoint exactly what caused it but glad it's fixed.

Hongske, that's okay. Thanks for all your help. ^w^

Revel, oh my gosh, it worked! 8D How did you do that? Thanks so much! ^w^

@ ReveL: Maybe it's the 'absolute' that you gave the treasure chest's position tag? Silverpaws used 'relative'. xD

@ Silverpaws: No problem, though I feel a bit stupid for not having tried rebuilding our code.

Hongske- don't say that. :C You were very helpful. 83 I didn't expect someone to actually go in and rebuild the whole code! O:

xD Thanks. And, lol, rebuilding the code usually makes it easier for a coder to try and decipher what's wrong. Most people who begin with profiles paste codes from all over the forums into their profiles and often have hard-to-read CSS as a consequence of that.
