Doing some HTML fixes. Could someone help me with the following??

AARRRGH

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with the following!!

I am doing some HTML fixes for the main page of Staff.ie.

You can see the errors I'm having here -

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.staff.ie%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline

In summary -

I shouldn't be using the "height" column in a table
I shouldn't be using "background" in a table column (TD)
I shouldn't be using "height" in a table row (TR)

Does anyone know a way around this without converting the HTML to xhtml?

Thank you!

100% heights dont work in all browsers, so forget about that idea

as for background images in cells - use stylesheets

"this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead"

You can use CSS in conjuction with HTML..


Learn CSS (You'll never go back)

Thank you.

Will look into it.

OK, fixed it. Thank you for the pointers!

Try this instead;
<td style="background-image: url(Staffdesign_files/bgGs.gif);" height="100">


Or, add this to your css stylesheet...
.cellstyle1 {
background-image: url(Staffdesign_files/bgGs.gif);
height: 100px;
}

And then change your <td> to this...
<td class="cellstyle1">

EDIT: 2 minutes too late

AARRRGH

Yes, sorry, but thank you for trying to help
