NightHawk, where was the Uni? Was it a good dark-sky place?

Paul.

PS You're probably wondering why there's a huge space above the table.
So am I.
I will ask my friend Mr Admin to investigate.

Not far, Fife! St Andrews University.

Someone told me, can't remember who. That we were located in one of the best locations for viewing the sky in britain. I'm not sure on the authenticity of that comment. But it is a nice thought if we are only an hour away by car!

I look forward to the image^

Big space above table

I found out how to get rid of the space above the table.
It seems it was caused by having newlines inside my HTML code.
If I get rid of the newlines, the big space goes away.
So:
Code:
<table>
<tr><th>H1</th><th>H2</th></tr>
<tr><td>D1</td><td>D2</td></tr>
</table>

will have a big space above it, but exactly the same HTML without the newlines
Code:
<table><tr><th>H1</th><th>H2</th></tr><tr><td>D1</td><td>D2</td></tr></table>

won't.

I'm not sure why it behaves that way, but it does. So now you know how to work round it.
