HTML code for a Table

[stephennpa]

Not sure what is wrong with this, maybe I have some extra codes that I don't need or something. Any help is appreciated!




<table border=0 width="71%" height="32%" rules=cols>
<tr>
<td>
<table border=2 width=800 height=600>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td align=right>
</td>
</tr>
<tr rowspan=2>
<td>
<table cellpadding=5>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td bgcolor="FF0000">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

What? could you please repharase you question on what problem are you experiencing?

And also, you've got a good list of deprecated attributes

And as a parting thought, tables was'nt intended for layouts.

Hope it keeps you going

The table is not showing up normally for some reason. Trying to learn as I go along...not sure what mistakes are in this coding if that is the problem. 1. Does the table border on line 1-have to be 100% total...since this one has width 71% and height 32% ? 2. Can the cellpadding/cellspacing properties be on their own lines or do they need to be together? 3. Line 8--to I need to include the valign property with the align?

I'm sorry, but what you were asking are deprecated attributes, which one should'nt advocate on using except for the width attribute.

Width 100% and height 32% does'nt makes sense since the unit % takes the width and height of its parent element. So the parent element of the table is the body element. Whatever the width and height of the body element will be 72% the width and 32% height of the table.

Hope makes sense.

what kind of table are you trying to make? with those positioning of codes, you'll come up with an unknown kind of table. Arrange the position of your codes.

if you start with a <tr> end the content with </tr>
or if you start with a <td> end it with </td>

review your codes dude.
