Hello,

I've put a couple of tables inside a "p" element, and I get an
unexpected space between the line before the table and the table
itself. I added a black border around the "p" and I'm surprised to see
(in FF2) that the table isn't included! If I switch to IE6 it works
well. Why would this be? The test page is in

www.davidsevilla.com/test1.html

Thanks a lot,

David

Invalid markup. A paragraph can't contain anything but inline elements.

Correct. The browser will implicitly close the paragraph (whose end tag
is optional), before starting the table. You'll also get a validator
warning about an "end tag for element "P" which is not open".

Tables should not be put inside paragraphs, so your markup is invalid.

Presumably, Firefox is automatically closing the <p> block element
when the new table element begins. This is expected behaviour, and as
I understand it, this is correct.

On the other hand IE6 makes a wrong guess, which just happens to
coincide with what you want.

I can never remember elements are allowed in (or required to be in)
other elements. While I know HTML Help gets knocked about in here, one
thing I like about their entries for elements is their concise Contents
and Contained In lists.
