smoseley Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 First, fix your HTML. Use a <thead> with <th> elements for your table header. And use <th scope="row"> for body-level headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuildMyWeb Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 get rid of all of those inline styles. crazy to keep replicating the same line in every <td>. bad form too. if youre going to be using a STRICT doctype, you need to be strict about your HTML. looking at your work, you would likely be better served using a TRANSITIONAL DT. it looks like you have an (rather extensive) external style sheet but youre not referencing it. try something like the following in your <head> section: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="MY_CSS_FILE.css" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
