Hey,
I've got a php/html question.
I want to intergrate a countdown in my site. I got the code from vwar.de
This is the code:
<?php

// ####################################### CONFIGURATION ###############################
## NOTE:
## This extra uses own header and body tags.
## There can be complications if you include it into a non framed site!
## To prevent this, enable '$definitions' in this settings and
## include the following into your <body> - tag:
## onLoad="getTime()"
## e.g. <body onLoad="getVWarTime()">
// path to your main vwar-directory (with final ' / ')
// -> from the site, where this extra is included!
// -> use absolute path if you have it included in files with different directories!
// (e.g. /home/www/htdocs/mysite.com/vwar/)
// -> if included in your _header.php/_footer.php, it is normally: './'
// -> if not, use: './../'
$vwar_xroot = "./../";
// 0 = don't use the body-definitions / 1 = use them
$definitions = 1;
// include header- & footer-information (1=enabled / 0=disabled)

The php code works fine, that's not the problem. My problem is makin this countdown fit in a 146*80 box. I already used .css to make the font smaller. The content displayed should fit in the box then. But somehow it still needs space after the displayed text:
<form name="vwarcform">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center"><b>Match Countdown</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" width="100%">
<?php echo $gameicon; ?> <a href="<?php echo $urltovwar; ?>war.php?action=nextaction&formgame=<?php echo $row['gameid']; ?>#<?php echo $row['warid']; ?>">vs. <?php echo $row['oppnameshort']; ?></a><br>
<input value="" type="text" name="vwarcfield" size="17">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">until Match</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Cuz the countdown stops showing text after that. The following is only if the "if" variable is of use. But even if I delete that part of the code, I still get a vertical space after the "until Match"...
I could just make the box bigger, but then I will have this big space at the bottom which looks really ugly.
So if ur still reading this (u deserve a medal for stickin with me) please gimme some help. Cuz I cant figure out what's causing the blank space.
