[Typo3] Blank Space - Further into space!

[Alex Heizer]

Hi Stephen,

This is because there is a default table that wraps the page header. On 
the front page, you don't have a page header, and so it displays an 
empty table. On the inside pages, there is something inside the table, 
making it appear correct since there now is no empty table. The code 
below replaces the table on the first page of the tree (the "root" page) 
and leaves the inside pages as they are.

You can put the code between the "snips" into your Setup field in your 
main page Template, making sure that none of the lines wrap. Important, 
on line 3, replace the # after "PIDupinRootline" with the actual page ID 
number of the root page. There are much better ways to do this now that 
you'll learn as you get more experience with TYPO3:

<----snip---->

page.10.1 >

[PIDupinRootline = #]
page.10 {
  1 = COBJ_ARRAY

  1 {

    wrap = <tr><td><img src="clear.gif" width=1 vspace=39 height=1 border=0></td><td valign="top"> | </td></tr>
    1 = HTML
    1.value = <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><img src="clear.gif" width=1 hspace=10 vspace=7 height=1 border=0></td><td><img src="clear.gif" width=1 hspace=40 height=1 border=0></td><td><img src="clear.gif" width=1 height=1 border=0></td></tr><tr><td></td><td colspan=2>
 

    5 = TEXT

    5.data = levelTitle:1

    5.wrap = {$page.L0.titleWrap}

 

    10 = HTML

    10.value = </td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td>

 

    15 = TEXT

    15.data = levelTitle:2

    15.wrap = {$page.L1.titleWrap}

    20 = HTML

    20.value = </td></tr></table>

  }
}
