Okay, just been dusting off my html coding, and started on what was going to be a short, simple project in the easter break. But problems in my code have reared their ugly heads.
I'm working on the table for the general layout. I've set the border to 1 to show where the individual cells are, and there's a row of single empty cells along the top to show the columns.
http://rooneynet.tripod.com/table2.html
shows what I'm trying to go for, except that the 'main page content cell' should be bigger, and spread beneath the logo image. In theory I should be able to do this, by adjusting the appropriate cells' colspan attributes.
I've tried to do this in the following page. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out:
http://rooneynet.tripod.com/table3.html
To view source, remember that the vast majority of the code is put in by tripod for their banners and stuff.
Scroll to the bottom of the source file, and you can pretty much see where my code starts, in the table tag just above the bunch of cell tags with s in (the row of empty cells).
*Note: I've tried adding text to the main content cell to puch it across, it doesn't work...
So, for some reason a bunch of cells are taking up loads of space, and nothing's lining up like it was intended to.
Any help?
Please

& have been around since the dawn of HTML2.0 but everyone favoured & as they were familiar with these in apps such as Word. Now in xHTML, the have to have "context" =emphasis =enforced/topical etc. The whole idea is to seperate content from design and give the content contextual meaning to anyone who would be reading it as text or code. $ mean nothing to anyone.

I know. I just didn't know you were talking about XHTML. I thought it was just standard HTML

I'm not that confident yet :)
One thing though before I jump into that area, will 'Strict' xHTML still mean browsers display the site as it would using Transitional?? or is there no need to go 'Strict' just yet?
Also, if you have the time, and the answer, could you take a look at my other XHTML Thread??

All tags have to be closed just as in XML. It's irrelevant as to wheather a style sheet is applied or not.

This is for xHTML 1.0 Transitional, which means you can get away with using old tags and invalid HTML. Try coding to 1.0 Strict or the new xHTML2.0! You suddenly realise how difficult life will be eventually.

This is for xHTML 1.0 Transitional, which means you can get away with using old tags and invalid HTML. Try coding to 1.0 Strict or the new xHTML2.0! You suddenly realise how difficult life will be eventually.
From your input on the post :)
Your correct for HTML, but XHTML follow rules related to XML and not standard Browser HTML.

The first thing I said:
Well, XHTML is pretty much HTML following XML rules:
------ /\ ------------------/\ ----------- /\
.. and then blah blah with the stuff I wrote.
