I can't delete space in my css file - css

Question

I created in blog spot a new page for a gallery with a menu, the result is good but there is so much space between the buttons, and a big gap in the top of the page, when I try <b> or <p> It wont go, I also tried to minimise the space with another script but the result was no space but unclickable buttons, and always when I success deleting spaces, the buttons wont work ! Please help me ! (It works on dreamweaver perfectly but not on Blogger !
This is the code :
<p> <p><b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/></p>
<p><style type="text/css">
.menutitle{
cursor:pointer;
<span style="margin-bottom: 5px"><br>;
background-color:#000000 ;
color:#FFF;
width:140px;
padding:2px;
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
/*/*/border:0px solid #000000;/* */
}</p>
.submenu{
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}
</style> </p>
</b:if>
<p><script type="text/javascript">
var persistmenu="yes" //"yes" or "no". Make sure each SPAN content contains an incrementing ID starting at 1 (id="sub1", id="sub2", etc)
var persisttype="sitewide" //enter "sitewide" for menu to persist across site, "local" for this page only
if (document.getElementById){ //DynamicDrive.com change
document.write('<style type="text/css">\n')
document.write('.submenu{display: none;}\n')
document.write('</style>\n')
}
function SwitchMenu(obj){
if(document.getElementById){
var el = document.getElementById(obj);
var ar = document.getElementById("masterdiv").getElementsByTagName("span"); //DynamicDrive.com change
if(el.style.display != "block"){ //DynamicDrive.com change
for (var i=0; i<ar.length; i++){
if (ar[i].className=="submenu") //DynamicDrive.com change
ar[i].style.display = "none";
}
el.style.display = "block";
}else{
el.style.display = "none";
}
}
}
function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) {
offset += search.length
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}
function onloadfunction(){
if (persistmenu=="yes"){
var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
var cookievalue=get_cookie(cookiename)
if (cookievalue!="")

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using Firefox, because it doesn't seem to work the same using other browsers..
the problem is the space between eich
bouton like between Dior and Faq/help
and help forum, they are meant to be
attached to each other
I'll start by saying that I'm not familiar with Blogger.
Your HTML:
<div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub2')">FAQ/Help</div>
<span class="submenu" id="sub2">..</span>
<div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub3')">
What you get if you View Source on your page:
<div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub2')">FAQ/Help</div>
<span class="submenu" id="sub2">..</span><br /> <!-- extra br! -->
<div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub3')">
Those frequent extra <br />s are the main problem. There are lots of them. You need to prevent them from being inserted. Perhaps removing the whitespace in your HTML will help? Like this:
<div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub2')">FAQ/Help</div>
<span class="submenu" id="sub2">..</span><div class="menutitle" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub3')">
also the gap between the Title of the
page and those menus !
You need to get rid of many instances of <p> and </p> that are wrapped around everything, including <script>s, for some reason..
Also, you have the same problem with <br />s being magically inserted. Again, compare your HTML to what comes out when you use View Source in your browser.
After removing those extraneous <p> and </p> and <br /> using Firebug (just to test), this was the result:
