[ic] Item-alternate leaves unnecessary white space SOLVED

[SofaKingRotten]

Thank you Dan and Josh! I finally got around to trying
this again and I ended up using Josh's code (because I
got it working the fastest). My working code is at the
bottom.

Also to the Author, Mike Heins, thanks for this great
software!
