extra space below widget

    Hi! I wish I knew how to show you a screengrab of what I’m referring to, but it’s on the right side of the URL listed above, near the top.

    I used widgets for the welcome and the date, and also for the current weather.

    The code should be
    <iframe src="https://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i6zjyyzp/n198/fn6/fs16/fc9ff/tc000/ftb/bas2/bat1/bacfff/pa8/th2/ta1" frameborder="0" width="144" height="39"></iframe>

    Now, notice the large amount of space between the clock and lead-in to live weather.
    It’s not the worst thing in the world, but is there a way to fix it?
    Thank you!
    Lenny

    FYI, in case this helps (and I tried several things), I ended up putting the first few items on the right-side widget space with one single widget: Text.

    The title to the Text widget is the welcome part.

    After that, in the actual space, is the WordPress shortcut for date with a period after.
    ([current_date format=’l, F j, Y’].)

    Finally, I went to the next line and pasted the HTML: <iframe src=”https://freesecure.timeanddate.com/clock/i6zckzv9/n198/fn6/fs20/fc9ff/tc000/pcff9/ftb/bas2/bat1/bacfff/pa8/th2/ta1&#8243; width=”175″ height=”45″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>

    The weather uses a second widget: Custom HTML. Its title is “And at this second…,” followed by HTML in the actual box.

    I tried everything I could, but nothing I could think of would make that space go away.

    Hi,

    When I inspect your page, I see this code.

    
<iframe 
    src="https://freesecure.timeanddate.com/clock/i6zckzv9/n198/fn6/fs20/fc9ff/tc000/pcff9/ftb/bas2/bat1/bacfff/pa8/th2/ta1" 
    frameborder="0">
</iframe>

    Meaning that the code you paste above (you should use the code button to display properly) doesn’t match what’s on your page. Maybe you’re not saving it?

    I’m pretty sure all you need to do is add a height to the iframe. Try 45.

    height="45" 
    frameborder="0">

    Wow! You got me thinking and I figured it out. (You were exactly right about the height being 45!)

    The dimensions were always there. I thought about doubling the height, to see if the frame would go longer and if so, make the text larger as well to fill the space.

    That didn’t work, so I thought about using the date in the graphic along with the time, rather than WordPress’ shortcut I’d been using.

    Then, I changed the text widget to html and it worked! (I don’t know why, but it did.)

    THANK YOU for loooking into this for me. I really appreciate it!!

    Lenny
