problem with layout

wood1e · August 18th, 2006, 12:05 PM

Hi, I seem to have thrown my table out!! And I can't see why?

On the first page, I can't seem to get the background images for the 6 cells lined up...
but on both pages I seem to have got the width, or something wrong.

many thanks in advnace...

For starters get rid of the prolog:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

This line causes all sorts of problems in various browsers and its not a mandatory requirement.

Next code your pages to proper xhtml standards such as closing <img tags with ... /> Note the space and the forward slash.

Attribute names should all be in lowercase.

This line is pointless:

Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Really you should start again and use the <div> tag as a layout tool, not tables, and use proper symantic markup.
