Thank you for this interesting link, enabling comnparison of browsers. Safari seems quite vulnerable, although only from 5 advisories. If you're using Mac OS X Camino is a good bet with none, as is Opera. Both are very pleasant browsers to use. Firefox seems to work for most sites, as does Safari. I can usually get into any site with at least one of these.Another interesting comparison would be how various OSs stand up to malicious attack. Mac OS X is reputedly quite secure. The more open source something is the more likely it is to be sound, as more people have a chance to check it out and make sensble changes. By that argument Linux must be even more secure. Any comments?It always occurs to me, and it has arisen in this discussion, that people often use a system because it is there, and maybe do not even have the opportunity to compare it with another. Time and workplace are two main constraints on our choice of computer. Also these points only matter a lot if you spend a lot of time using the computer.

Right. I've removed the size parameters, and the page still looks OK. Still a mystery why the page did not display the photos when I used height. Anyway, problem solved for these pages and validation.Thanks.

Do the size parameters have to go in front of the image source tag? Does it have to be in pixels? % is much easier. Counting pixels is not my idea of fun!Presumably if you wish to change the aspect ratio, then both height and width can be used to do this?

I validated pages with photos, displayed in tables. Each photo is set to display at a certain size, with width and height specified. The height was controlled by the <size> tag (forgotten where I got that from) and it worked, but the w3c validator said it was wrong. i substituted <height>, but then the pictures did not show.What should it be?eg of code, which displays rows of three photos, with popups of larger versions if user clicks on them:<table><tr> <td align="center"><a href="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup('Cards/Greetings_lg/HPIM2380.jpg')"><img src="Cards/Greetings_sm/HPIM2380.jpg" size="100%" width="100%" alt="picture of card"></a></td><td align="center"><a href="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup('Cards/Greetings_lg/HPIM2381.jpg')"><img src="Cards/Greetings_sm/HPIM2381.jpg" size="75%" width="75%" alt="picture of card"></a></td><td align="center"><a href="popupbasic.html" onClick="return popup('Cards/Greetings_lg/HPIM2382.jpg')"><img src="Cards/Greetings_sm/HPIM2382.jpg" size="75%" width="75%" alt="picture of card"></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="#topofpage">Go to top</a></td></tr>

Yes, thanks for your help. What mystified me was that I knew the table tags were not quite right, but if I removed one that I thought shouldn't be there the page was formatted differently, and not how I wanted it at all.I have taken two screenshots to show the entire page.http://www.annablackburn.com/pqb1.tiffhttp://www.annablackburn.com/pqb2.tiffMany thanks.

The following code generated 2 errors when validated. I don't understand the errors, nor do I understand why the code works, when there is an extra </table> tag without another <table> to open the next section. It displays correctly in several different browsers I have tested it with. Most grateful for any ideas. URL of page is: http://www.annablackburn.comThe errors were:Error Line 36 column 3: start tag for "TR" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this.<td><img src="Pictures/cover.jpg" width="250" height="400" alt="cover picture"><?Error Line 55 column 3: start tag for "TR" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this.<td><img src="Pictures/HPIM2465.jpg" width="350" height="250" alt="example card"?My code:<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="20" border="0"><tr><td width="55%"> <h1>Anna Blackburn</h1><p> <h2>Bespoke Dressmaking & Tailoring</h2><p></td><td rowspan="4" width="45%"> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="20" border="12"><td><img src="Pictures/cover.jpg" width="250" height="400" alt="cover picture"></td></tr></table><tr><td width="35%" rowspan="5"><h3>Wedding & Evening Dresses a speciality</h3><p>Other clothes also made to measure, either from client's own scheme, or after consultation with our design expert.</p></td></tr></table><table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="20" border="0"><tr><td width="55%"><h2>Handmade Cards for Various Occasions</h2><p></td><td rowspan="4" width="45%"> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="20" border="12"><td><img src="Pictures/HPIM2465.jpg" width="350" height="250" alt="example card"></td></table></td></tr><tr><td width="35%" rowspan="5"><p>Click on <a href="#topofpage">menu</a> to view different categories.</p></td></tr></table>
