Getting rid of extra spacing

rfigley

Here's the page I'm working with:
http://www.advancedresearchtechnologies.com/test/video_clip_14.php

I'm using this code for a WMF viewing page that displays viewers that have logged in. Have a lotof expra spacing that I'd like to get rid of. I'm just coming in with php includes to display the database content for each seating position. Not sure if echoing all the html via php will solve this or not. But before I go to the time of doing that, is there another solution to get tid of all this space? Keep in mind there's a frame below this page for online chat,
http://www.advancedresearchtechnologies.com/test/conference_room.htm

so that's the reason for eliminating teh extra space.
Here's the code:

Note: I tried not separating each pulldown with a table cell and it give me this:

When you pull the values that you put into the select drop down you can remove all white spaces from the values by using the trim function. This will remove all whitespace from the variable value.
