• "table" of thumbnails - spacer character?

    By Mark Haller 2 decades ago

    Hi there,



    I noticed in the table of thumbnails generated in the HTML, there is an ecblank.gif spacer character with a fixed height of 212px. Can this be changed to CSS? I want a cute, tight, small table of thumbnails and cannot do it because of this :-(



    thank you! Or maybe just remove the ecblank all together and allow users to control the row height by specifying a height attribute to the Thumbnail class?

      I tried to find a configureable solution but failed so I implemented this ugly hack. If you can find a solution please send me a sample and I will be more than happy to implement it.

        Hi Christian



        yeah … I really thought that what it was actually, as it didn't seem to fit the rest of your style :-) It happens sometimes to us all hey?



        I'll work on something now and if I find a solution will post it back

          Whoops, didn't realise I cannot come back and edit my posts!



          Well, maybe this is tooooo simple?



          All I did was



          1) remove the <IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0pt; BORDER-TOP: ……" hspace=0 src="…ecblank.gif" width=1> tag alltogether. Why did you have that there? It's not needed



          2) Amend the .Thumbnail class in the CSS, to either -

                  - extend the PADDING-BOTTOM to, say, 20px, which looks nice<br/>
          or     - add a HEIGHT: 200px or some such value.  This option is dependant upon the size of thumnails generated<br/>
          





          I am a great advocate of not using any inline styles, such as that employed on the <IMG> tag I have suggested removing, just so people (including you) have full control anyway.



          Try it - tell me what you think? If I've totally missed the point, I would like to know … I want to know this template a lot better, so I can then make some constructive criticisms and suggestions!

            I want to thank you for your input. I just love to look at detailed tips so I can evaluate them. This is much much better than looking for a solution by myself which costs a lot of time.



            You will see this particular modification in the next release.
