Table position on the page

Hi,

This is my first time posting here so I hope I get this right!

I've been making tables to act as masterlists for the fics that I've posted here, but I've got a different reaction on one page to on the others despite using the same coding and now have a huge space before it shows the actual table *headdesk*

Can anyone suggest a simple solution? I say simple because my coding skills are very basic!

This is a link to the page that displays correctly and this is a link to the the page that does not display correctly.


And this is the coding that I used : < cut text="Supernatural" >
< table border = "4" table width = 700 align = center >< tr >< td >< b >Supernatural< /b>< /td></tr>

<tr><td>One shots</td></tr>


I even tried copying directly from the one that works to the one that doesn't - the weird spacing was still there.

Thank you in advance to anyone for your help.

I apologize that I can't double check this, but have you tried using the "disable autoformatting" ticky box? At least on LJ, any carriage returns in the code between table rows get rendered before the table.

So, in your example, I'm referring to the two rows of white space between the /tr and the following tr, which make the code readable when editing it.

Alternatively, you'd need to post the table as one giant wall of text in the editor.
