The dreaded tables!!

[youngros]

The line is missing on the bottom of the first row in my table, it is there before I collapse the border but then it disappears when I do. Must be missing something.

First thing, you have an xhtml Doctype and need to close the

tags and all the image tags, too.

[youngros]

I have a problem closing the br tags as they are in a php tide processor script and I'm not sure where to find them to alter them. The missing image one was an oversight having been using HTML strict and this site is XHTML.

[youngros]

I have found some of them and down now to 28 errors, so probably only a couple to locate now

[youngros]

I am now down to 1 error unless the wunderground link defaults.

 

not allowed

 

this is the code as i'm not sure what I have done wrong.

the tfoot html follows the table header info. simply move it up in your code.

*edit*

 

Also, the table header and table footer should not be contained within table row tags.

Thanks for that, also found http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_tfoot.asp

The page now validates, but I'm still left with one of the borders missing, or at least it is in Firefox, not checked the others yet.

[jlhaslip]

which border is missing?

change its colour to "red" and see if it is showing.

[youngros]

It is the border between the first and second row and appears to only be a Firefox issue, checked all the others and they are fine.

[youngros]

Solved.

 

It is there, just depends on how big I have it showing on this monitor, an oldish 19"TFT if I make it smaller or larger the border appears again.

Very strange though.

Feel there must be something with my code that is not quite right.

 

Thanks for your time.

Will sort validating the rest of the pages now.
