I'm using the site creator to make a simple credits page and it's leaving a huge space above the credits that I don't want. It's simply a table inside an HTML widget. Does anyone know why it's leaving this big space at the top of the widget?

There must be some html that has been pasted in that is causing that. If you want to send your admin login to support[at]jamroom[dot]net I can take a look for you.

Table html looks ok. It would be quicker and easier to sort this if I could take a quick look at what you are doing in SiteBuilder so please email me the admin login at support [at] jamroom [dot] net
Thanks

I see the same, the issue is a line break is added for each table tag after saving.

So if there are total of 8 table tags, then 8 line breaks are added.

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

I just found the same thing. For every row of a table there's an extra line break added to the top of the HTML entry. But it's not something I can fix. It seems to be a bug with the way tables are handled in Jamroom.

It looks like TinyMCE is adding breaks after the opening and closing table row tags - very weird. We have other code in place to "clean up" TinyMCE output from in Jamroom, so we can check this out.

Thanks!

Looking closer at this, these breaks must be part of the "pasting" process - JR is not adding them in. I just pasted this table:

<table>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Tow</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
</tr>
</table>

And here's the output it produced:

<div id="widget_id-189" data-id="189" class="sb-widget-content">
<div class="widget-item widget-item-widget_html">
<div class="item">
<table><tbody>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Tow</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
</div>
</div>

So the extra line breaks are part of what you are pasting in. I assume you are clicking on the "code" button in the editor and pasting in your HTML? If you are trying to paste HTML directly into the editor (not using the code button) then it's not going to work correctly.

Let me know if that helps.

Sorry but no. I was pasting originally. But I eliminated that by creating a new widget and building the table with just the tools in the widget. Nothing but a table... no other content. Three rows... and it made a result roughly 6 high (maybe more).

Please post you what you have entered - I have tested this the same here (table into widget HTML container) and am seeing no issues.

Thanks!

The solution is to copy the code from the tinymce editor and paste it into the template editor-I have always had this problem with tables in tinymce...paste it in the template editor and it will display properly

This is what I get pasting in what you have posted (see screenshot). I've made some small tweaks in the HTML "cleanup" code that I'm hoping will help out any stray newline/return characters, because that can be dependent on the OS and browser used. We'll have the new beta core out tomorrow, so let's see if it helps you.

I wonder if it's related to the theme? I'm using The Ning theme.

Update to the latest Jamroom Core 5.3.0b8 and let me know if that helps at all - if not, there's something specific going on on your site that we'll need to check out.

Thanks!
