HTML tables posting/display problems

    Hello all.

    I'm trying to post what is in essence an "online business card" into a blog post. It's set up in a table with one column and two rows. Using the same code, the table displays fine on a website, as an email sig, on myspace profile, etc.

    However, when I post it in a blog post (I have tried on WP and Blogger), it displays completely incorrectly. It puts like 3 blank lines between every object, when there should be nothing but a space between the objects. So what I end up with is 10 objects in a column, one object per line with like 3 blank lines between each.

    FYI... The same thing happens when posting on Tumblr.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Maybe if you include the page url that has the table or a screenshot maybe we will come up with something

    In wordpress try posting in Code view and paste HTML. It is possible that your theme defines how the tables are displayed and messes up your formatting.

    You need To remove all borders from tables and their cells, try adding the following to the bottom of your stylesheet:table,th,td {border:none;}

    Thanks
