Getting rid of a blank page

iroquois · 03-21-2012, 08:19 PM

HELPP!!! I've tried my ePUB in iPad and a blank page is generated after this section:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title>cesar1.html</title>
  <link href="../Styles/template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
  <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/

  html, body   {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}
                        .wedge 
                                {float:left; height:18%; margin-bottom:0em;}
                        .container 
                                {clear:both; height:4em; position:relative;}
                        table, tr, th {height:4em;width:100%;text-align:center;}
  /*]]>*/
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <h3 id="heading_id_2" title="Un país para César Ferri"></h3>

  <div class="wedge"></div>

  <div class="container">
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <div class="story" id="cesar1.html" xml:lang="es-ES">
            <p class="Titulos">Un país para<br />
            César Ferri</p>

            <p class="autor"><br />
            <span class="italica">Jorge Cuadrado</span></p>
          </div>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

I don't see why there should be a blank page. Anyway I really don't have much understanding of the code, maybe it's something stupid.

Thanks!!

I don't have an iPad, but testing that page in Adobe Digital Editions this line is causing the blank page,

Code:

  html, body   {height:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}

Changing it to this,

Code:

body   {margin:0; padding:0;}

removes the plank page.

Yep, it does, the thing is that line is there to center the text vertically... if I change it the way you said the text goes back to the top of the page. If there's another way to center the text vertically (without generating undesirable blank pages) please let me know.

Thanks!

How much text?
Could you get by with an 'Almost center'?

margin-top: 45% < <<fiddle with the percentage
