To test if the normal solution to large spaces caused by tables work

This table is created by typing the HTML for the table in a single line, without line breaks:
ItemPrice
apple$3.00
orange$2.20
pear$3.40
pineapple$2.40
banana$1.80
papaya$1.40
 

If you use the normal of formatting a table, see the result here: http://testing-blogger-beta.blogspot.com/2006/08/testing-posting-tables-in-blogger-beta.html
There is a resulting wide space above the table, which if may lead readers to think that there is no table in your post.

You can see how it is done at this post here: How to avoid large white spaces above the table

yeah - this adice is ok - but I'm still having a lot of trouble getting the width of the table right.

At the end of the day it's just HTML - it should bloody work like it says on the tin - something's wrong with the blogger code/programing that doesn't allow simple coding.
