Trying to be w3c compliant whether it matters or not.

Check out those errors, they are with table height and pic background. Any way I can get those w3c compliant, i have no clue.

http://www.thebillygoatcurse.com is my site, which i would like to be html compliant. I already have CSS compliant, I'd like the double whammy.

Hey hey,

The errors you are getting seem to come because you are using attributes that are used, most likely, just by IE they aren't actually real html. This throws off a lot of people because IE supports a shitload of stuff that other browsers don't, they don't exactly follow a standard.

I'd suggest you check out tidy, it was extremely handy when I had to make a page xhtml compliant. -- http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/

Use css to make the needed changes.

For the background element use

background-image:url("wall.gif");


and for the table height use either:

height:356px

or

line-height:356px;

Whichever suits your needs.


Its good to see people making attempts to keep their pages W3c compliant. You should always make a valid attempt to keep it up to standards.

Good Luck and let me know if you need any more help with it.

wouldnt doing that screw up all my tables? those backgrounds (the paint, the gasmask dudes) are in tables. the paint is in one, the gasmasks (kinda abstract but its gasmasks). So wouldn't that css apply it to all tables? how could I specify?

[HTRegz]

Hey Hey,

You can specify them quite easily... I'll bold certain things to help them stand out.

<!--
body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px; 
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
table {
width:100%;
}
td.link {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:0;
width:10%;
vertical-align:top;
}
td.body {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:0;
width:90%;
}
a:hover {
color:#0088AA;
}
img {
border: 0;
}
.bold {
font-weight:bold;
}
.italic {
font-style:italic;
}
.title {
align:center;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:underline;
font-variant:smallcaps;
}
.byline {
align:center;
font-size:14px;
font-style:italic;
}
.quote {
align:justify;
font-style:italic;
}
-->

As you can see, I have td.link and td.body. Now here is the code from the main page.

<td class="link">
