inner div's space is being shown

[hariomt]

Hi,
I am using two divs like.

<div id="d1">
<button b1>
<button b2>
<div id="d2">
<div>
<div>

when I click on button b1,i have to display div2 parallel to div d1. I have written style for that. Its working fine for that.
The problem is div d1 too is showing empty space of size div d2.
please help

The problem is div d1 too is showing empty space of size div d2.

can you explain that a bit better, I can't make sense of it.

note: your HTML markup is not valid, currently it shows 4 <div>s, and probably your question would be better placed in the HTML forum.

i am copying the sample code here

<div id="manageCEAttribute" class="manageCE"style="display:none;top: -610px;">
<table>some code goes here
 <input   type="button" name="deleteCE" onclick"delete">
     </table>
 <div id="deleteCEAttribute" class="deleteCE" style="display:none;">
some code goes here
<div>
</div>

here are the styles I am using

.manageCE{  
    position:relative;
   top: -575px;
   left: 800px;
   width: 40%;
   height:30%;
   padding: 10px;
   border-top: 1px solid #999;
   border-right: 1px solid #000;
   border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
   border-left: 1px solid #999;
   background-color: #F2F2E6;
  z-index: 505;
 }
.deleteCE{   
  width: 450px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: -500px;
  padding: 5px;
  border: 2px solid black;
  background-color: #ccc9ba;
  z-index: 510;
 }

after click on deleteCE button i have to display div deleteCEAttribu te as a pop up. Its working . The problem is first divs height increses by height of second div

you still have 3 <div>s.
line 1 requires a space before the style attribute.
the button misses a =

maybe html markup errors are causing this....

i have found the cause of issue.
Actually on second div I have two input type buttons. The value of the buttons is taking more space than of div.
is thre any way of displaying button's value in two lines?

not that I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean anything.

i'm not aware of that too ... i think the text could be cropped or something like that ... but in case you really would need the linebreak for the button's text then you may just use a custom DHTML button ...

kind regards
