    Hello,

    I hope someone can help me with the following!!

    I am doing some HTML fixes for the main page of Staff.ie.

    You can see the errors I'm having here -

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.staff.ie%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline

    In summary -

    I shouldn't be using the "height" column in a table
    I shouldn't be using "background" in a table column (TD)
    I shouldn't be using "height" in a table row (TR)

    Does anyone know a way around this without converting the HTML to xhtml?

    Thank you!

    :D

    100% heights dont work in all browsers, so forget about that idea

    as for background images in cells - use stylesheets

    "this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead"

    You can use CSS in conjuction with HTML..


    Learn CSS (You'll never go back) :D

    Try this instead;
    <td style="background-image: url(Staffdesign_files/bgGs.gif);" height="100">


    Or, add this to your css stylesheet...
    .cellstyle1 {
    background-image: url(Staffdesign_files/bgGs.gif);
    height: 100px;
    }

    And then change your <td> to this...
    <td class="cellstyle1">

    EDIT: 2 minutes too late :D
