I have come across a problem whereby all of my pages have a large blank scrolling area at the bottom of the page. I have set up a Dreamweaver template to design my PHP pages and I havea simple layout table with an editable region. Trouble is I cannot see a why of stopping the scrolling when the content is finished.
Here is an example of what I mean:

Apologies if this is a non PHP question or if it is in the wrong forum? .This is a fantastic community and always gets intelligent responses!
here is my template

Moved to ClientSide Technologies forum.

Towards end of your code, you have all of this:

<tr>
<td height="364">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="452">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="699">&nbsp;</td>
</tr> These forced heights are stretching the page. Since these cells are blank, I don't really see why they're needed at all.

Also, not sure why, but you have an 'i' at the bottom of the page. If you're looking for where that's coming from, it's right here: <!-- end required link components -->
<a href="disclaimer.php" class="style1">disclaimer</a> </p>
<p>i</p>
</div></td>

Since these cells are blank, I don't really see why they're needed at all.I guess Dreamweaver thought they were necessary for some reason..... :)
