I've been over the documentation a number of times and searched through the forum, but can't seem to find anything on this.
I'm displaying HTMTABLE using the HTMLFORM command which works well. However, when I turn off the page numbers and headers, there are still placeholder lines in the rendered HTML. is there any way to tell WebFOCUS not to render these lines.
The beginning output HTML (using IE to view the source from the rendered report) looks like this:
< !-- here's where the placeholders are -->
< !-- here's where my report starts -->
DEVICE_NAME
LOCATION
DESCRIPTION
This is HTML rendered by WebFOCUS that replaces a !IBI.FIL.xxx token in my HTMLFORM.

That didn't do it, but it did get me to looking at some of the other FOCUS commands. It has something to do with the STYLE section of the report. If I remove the GRID=OFF line, the extra lines go away.
ON TABLE SET STYLE * TYPE=REPORT,GRID=OFF,$ ENDSTYLE

Yes, the WebFOCUS Stylesheet GRID command does more than turn the grid off or on. One other thing it does is that it adds or removes the underline under the column titles.
What is your intended achievement by removing the cellpadding? If you produce an HTML report and then save it locally, remove the cellpadding and then open it in your browser, you will see little difference (if any?).
If you want to get rid of the extraneous space surrounding the cell contents then you can set the margins (TOPMARGIN etc.) to 0, but that still will not remove the cellpadding keyword from the output.

My issue is that I'm trying to have a 2 line column heading with background color and I'm getting the white space between the TD elements. I am also using HTMLCSS=ON, so I'll try the border-collapse applied to all table elements. Thanks everyone.
Maybe a bit late, but ... The empty lines at the top of the page are there because they are being 'reserved' fot the page number. Setting GRID to OFF removes these lines. But, sometimes you do want GRID to be ON. In that case, you can code: ON TABLE SET PAGE NOPAGE which will also remove these 2 extra lines, regardless of the GRID setting. BTW: the border-collapse also works like a charm, and in combination with GRID = ON, the result is quite nice actually.
