ATTN: People familiar with HTML, specifically tables.

[fairyrune]

I have an assignment to use an HTML table to put a picture of a piece of art known as "The Tiger" back together. Why is the g'd damn front leg not where it's supposed to be?????

I'll ask my boyfriend what to do about it - I'm almost positive he'll know (if you haven't already figured it out). However, he might start ranting about CSS stuff instead. We'll see...

To do that in CSS is a waste of CSS :p

Just from glancing I think it's because you've got an uneven number of td's inside each row.

And you definately missed the last /tr.

I swear to GOD it's in my copy of the code.

Many more things wrong with it than I thought at first glance. I can send you the code if you can't swipe it from that.

Basically, when you use colspan you don't need to plug in rowspan for the tr's below it.

I use the px ending for picture sizes just because it tends to be more accurate than the number-in-quotes, because that changes slightly from browser to browser in terms of how it displays based on the number. Annoying but not necessary. Change it back if you want.

I'm not sure if I did the last two right. I made one td and just br'd between them.

Thanks Alex. It looks good, and if my teacher doesn't give me an acceptable response by tonight, I'm just going to swipe it and change stuff that I'm not supposed to know yet. :)

Take a look at your "rowspan"s. Remember: rowspan is for when you want to have a cell stretch across an existing row.

Some helpful references:

The HTML 4.01 specification document. If you want to know how to do something, check here.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/cover.html#minitoc

It has a nice index of elements:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html

and an index of attributes:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/attributes.html

which will tell you what things such as rowspan (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-rowspan) mean and are used for.
