rarebit Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi, I need to wrap a table with a tag, in theory I can use most tags and they work, but when I go to w3c validater it throws errors saying I can't wrap a table, e.g. <span> <table> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> </span> I've tried <p>, <b> and a few others but basically the same error... Anybody know a way? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113829-but-not/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarebit Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 hmmm, should of previewed that last one, (it was a bold tag!) I've also tried divs, but now resorted to totally removing the table, very annoyed (no easy spacing), but it works cleanly...

ToonMariner Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 the real question is WHY do you need to wrap a table in a tag??? or even WHY are you using a table??? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113829-but-not/#findComment-584934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 You cannot put block elements inside inline elements. Tables are block elements, spans are inline elements. This is where your problem comes from. Just apply whatever CSS it is that you have to the table directly. There should be no reason to wrap it in the span. If it still seems to you that there is a reason to wrap it in the span, give us some more details and we can point you in the direction you need to go so that you don't need the span.
