A couple validation errors I don't understand 3

[skwurl]

Hi,

I managed to get my page down to 5 errors. However, I can't seem to figure out what is causing these remaining errors.

The page is located at:

http://validator.w3.org/

http://www.deacro.com/slitters/surface/request1.html

Also, my top roll overs stopped working. Interesting...

get rid of...

<csscriptdict import="import">

</csscriptdict>
<csactiondict>
		
</csactiondict>

Also - the remaining 2 errors seem pretty straightforward really

there is no attribute "height"

<tr height="34">

and

there is no attribute "background"

...td width="60" height="34" background="../../images/layer_dot_horiz_tabled.gif

For the DOCTYPE you are trying to validate against (XHTML Transitional) these attributes are no longer supported. These values should now be set with the use of style sheets.

Ok - Everything is cool (still have to write the CSS for the tables though) except for 2 errors.

# Error Line 290 column 13: end tag for "tr" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

--> </table>

Info Line 283 column 7: start tag was here.

--> <tr>

The first one doesn't make sense because it's just a close tag for the table. I don't know what the problem is.

The second one isn't really an error but i still don't understand it.

It tells you that the parser hit the end table tag, when it expected another element. The second line explains this. You started a <tr> element and never closed it and also did not specify in the doctype that the end tag for this element can be omitted. So, put the </tr> before the </table> and you're set.

<you have to close your row tags

<tr></tr>[code]

there is now [green]</tr>[/green] before your table ends.
[code]
[red]<tr>[/red]
								<td width="60"></td>
								<td width="140"></td>
								<td width="5"></td>

								<td width="60">Address:</td>
								<td width="196"><input class="inputs" type="text" name="r_address" size="25" tabindex="9" /></td>
[blue]There should be a closing </tr> here[/blue]
</table>

Since I can't use the <tr> height tag, how do I control this CSS? What is the property I should be using?

 

[vacunita]

You can use it on one of your <TD> rows to accomplish the same thing.

Your XHTML

<td class="myClass"><p>somthing here</p></td>

Your CSS

td.myClass {
 height: 20px;
}

So my table would be:

<td class="tableclass">
<table width="142" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="sidelinks">

<a href="../test.html">Sample Text</a></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="sidelinks">
<a href="../test1.html">Sample Text2</a></div>
</td>
</tr>

</table>

Ah, nevermind.
