Answer 1

Assuming it recognises all other formating you have there..



You put:



table

{

width:800;height:25;

}



Instead put:



table

{

width:800; height:25;

}



If you have missed it i put a space between the semi-colon after 800 and the word height. Tiny things like this are often the problem and are SO frustrating and can be SO hard to find! By god do i know lol.



If this was all it was then from now on set out like this(and use the px denotation just to be sure):



table

{

width:800px;

height:25px;

}



ALWAYS with each attribute on a new line.. i notice you have done this further through the code. This will ensure that each attribute will be taken separately.



Also if this does fix it don't feel stupid. Your not! its the tiny things often that cripple us and are like a needle in a hey stack to find :S I only spotted it quick here because:



1) I've learnt from bitter experience!

2)I've not been staring at your code for hours, now bleary eyed and expecting that surely the problem must be something complicated if i haven't worked it out yet lol.



**Al - The space may not make a difference. But as you said the code works fine, which looking at it i figured it should. So i made my suggestion based on it being the only anomaly i could see and that it was at the element to which the problem is/was.

Hi There,

Your code worked for me both in Opera and IE-9.

I copied your code then pasted it into CoffeeCup HTML Editor and it worked "as is". Then tested in IE-9 and Opera, both worked fine.

But:

You can shorten everything up like this:







I changed the background and font color to make it easier to read. Also all the CSS can be applied to the table element. I could see no change in the way the code operates by putting a space between the tags and values. (???).



I use CoffeeCup free HTML editor which helps me a lot in choosing the proper coding.

Hope this helps,

Al
