Debbugging HTML tables - great tip
Ok, true I said that I would be sticking to the business side of webmastering, but I also said there that I could help you debug a table and here is how:
Ok, wait a minute. This is so stupid and easy that it may seem ridiculous that I am posting it but don’t jump on me. One of my colleagues just came to me a few days ago for help with a table and this was how I helped him:
Just set the table to BORDER=1 . If there are multiple imbedded tables set each one to BORDER=1 or try doing them one at a time, if necessary gradually getting to the point where they all have borders. If you are having trouble figuring out which elements belong to which table you can set some to BORDER=4 or whatever to clarify which table is which.
Ok, I said it was stupid and easy. It really does help though because it lets you see what the table is really doing which can lead you straight to the problem(s).
