Help for a Newbie
Hey Folks,
I'm new to html, and I'm having a problem with a table. The problem is that I am getting a "<" just above the caption. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here's the part of the code I'm having the issue. Please forgive the brashness of the code - I'm just getting started!! Thanks, Jr <!--Nextel Cup Points Table--> <table border=1 body bgcolor="ffff00" width="23%" height="100%" align="right"> <caption> <font color="ff6600" size="-1"> <B> Nextel Cup Points Standings</B></font></CAPTION> <TR> <TH><font color=0000cc size="-1">Driver</TH> <TH><font color=0000cc size="-1">Points</TH> </TR> |

The <body> tag should not be in a table. Put quotes on all attributes. <table border=1> should be <table border="1">, <font color=0000cc> should be <font color="0000cc">. |

Of course. I was pointing out the error in the above statement. > .mycaption { font-size: %80; color: #0000cc; } ..mycaption { font-size: 80%; color: #0000cc; } Though after moving the percent sign, I would pick a size that was readable. <g> -- -bts -This space intentionally left blank. |

You could get away with that... though I would still pick at least 90%. -- -bts -This space intentionally left blank. |
