XHTML Table

Hey there.

I have just started to work with XHTML recently, and I'm having a problem with using tables. It's just that when I use the vertical alignment (valign) for a <td> tag, it doesn't work. Anybody know why?

Thanks in advance.

take it out, add:
style="vertical-align:text-top;"
valign and align, as well as a bunch of other attributes are no longer allowed. (xhtml)

The fact that you use a table in xhtml is dubious. Are you sure you're using it to display tabular data such as a table full of numbers or names?

As for the solution to your question: the above way does work, but is not the most advisable way. It's the easiest though. More advisable would be a style sheet, preferably external...

Possible google queries:

"External style sheets css"
"css table"
"xhtml table"

Can we please see your code or can you post a link to an online version of the page?

I don't have a page online yet, but I can show you a demo what I'm using...

Code:

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="middle">
<center>blah blah blah</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

vertical-align works only on inline elements.

In any case, it might be because of the height='100%'. Try setting a fixed one and seeing if it changes. If yes, then you're on your own Tongue probably no way to vertical align to center. However, that is the default alignment, so you can just remove the valign or something.

that is not true.

valign is ment for <tr> tag only, align is ment for <td> these two elements have not been removed. dont post false infomation please.
