HTML validation trouble

by **ReFredzRate** on Wed Mar 23, 2005 5:46 pm

Dudes, I have some trouble. I have for nearly 100% finished my new company's website design. Only problem is I got some errors during HTML validation. I'm quite good at HTML, but those two errors I can't figure out unfortunately. Anyone able to help me out?

Here is the source page:
http://www.vermanen.nl/bytesize9/index.html

Here are the errors shown:

Thanks!

Line 9, column 27: there is no attribute "HEIGHT"

Thats easy to fix... just take out the space between the " and the 100

It looks as if there's a space. There is none... Believe me. Check out the coding in the source page. It's pure HTML, so no PHP generated coding.

For the HTML table element height is an invalid attribute:

Just because it works doesn't make it right

The phpBB forum (which this is) does not validate at all, someday... when I have alot of sparetime I will reprogram the forum to a div/css deisign, it will be much faster. (and validate)

Personally... I like how <table height="100%"> looks...

It just seems smoother how it dissapears into the bottom of the page...

True... Alright, right now I'm at a point where I don't know what to do. Get rid of the height attribute, or leave it like it is, and have an invalid HTML document.

Just had an idea! I'll rip out the tables, and redo it in div's. I'll insert everything in CSS. I bet that will be valid in CSS. (Thanks for the idea Razz!)

Remember to use XHTML as the doc type!
