HTML hidden fields takes white space in IE6

[Paranidharan Selvaraj]

I am iterating a list and setting a property in the hidden field. List is iterated and displayed in viewable mode.. When i click on edit all the list items are shown editable... at this time i m getting an extra space because of hidden.. could you suggest a solution for this.

You can apply a style="display:none;" to the hidden field. By doing this it won't take up the extra space.
Ex: <input type="hidden" value="text" name="hid1" id="hid1" style="display:none;">

No. Hidden fields take up no space. You are probably putting extra markup that's accounting for the extra space.

Completely unnecessary.

I too am having problems with this. If someone could help, I would be most appreciative:

Here is a snippet of my code:

 

					
<input class="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="1d YIELD" name="1d YIELD" value="0.226008"/>
<input class="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="7d YIELD" name="7d YIELD" value="0.2142654"/>
<input class="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="30d YIELD" name="30d YIELD" value="0.2102923"/>
								

hiddenField is kept in a separate css file:

   

input.hiddenField
{
display: none;
width: 0px;
height:0px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 0px;
line-height: 0px;
float:left;
position:absolute
}

This is still not working for me. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lisa

The individual who said that it was probably a mark-up issue was correct. I was not encapsulating the hidden fields in a <td></td> tag in my page. They were just hanging out in space. Thanks for the inadvertent help.
