Can someone show me how to clean up my code for an ad on my homepage?

[Dede]

I just added a banner from clickbank at the top of my site in a text box.for working from home
There is so much space before and after the ad. Can you help me fix this please??? I am not a web designer which you will see lol when you go to my site.

Thanks so much in advance!

Make sure there are no line returns or breaks (eg, < br/ >... without the spaces around the greater than and less then sign) in code that you are adding to the textbox.

[Dede]

thanks, there don't seem to be breaks but still a big gap:(

They are coming from somewhere since this is what your code looks like for the image:

< a href="http://divacafe1.expresspay.hop.clickbank.net" >< br / > < img src="http://www.cbadvance.com/sites/expresspaidsurveys/animated/468x60.gif" / >< br / >< /a >< br / >
Is this code that is being provided to you by clickbank?

On a side note, what is the bar you are using at the bottom of your page? I haven't seen that one before.

I love it. It is helpful to me and my members. Very easy to add. www.wibiya.com
So, how do I fix the code lol. The
is not there when I open the text box so I don't know how you see that:) I am confused .

Hi Dede,
Edit what you added to the text box. Just delete the tags that look like this:
<br> and they may look like this <br / >

There are 2 of them, as SteveH indicated. There's one before the img tag, and one after it.

Hope that helps,
Jen

Hi Jen

I tried to copy what I have in the box, but it shows the image here. There is NO br in the image when I click into the text box, I promise. Absolutely nothing lol. I will try to post it in pieces here so you can see:)

Send me a private email and remind me how I made a change to your site, a while back. Or, did I just send the code? Anyhow, send a private message, and we'll get this fixed. It won't take me 10 seconds.
