Opera question

[Alendar]

I just downloaded Opera to see what my site looked like on it and I found something is not right.When I look at my site in FireFox or IE my site looks like this:My Webpage in FF or IEWhen I look at my site in Opera my site looks like this:My Webpage in OperaWhy is it doing that?

it might be inheriting the centering from a parent element. Just set the text-align of that element to left.

[Alendar]

That did not work.

[aspnetguy]

can I see the code or should I keep guessing?

[justsomeguy]

I guess you should see the code.

[Alendar]

<div class="borderwrap">	<div class="maintitle">		<p> Article 1</p>	</div>		  <table class="table" cellspacing="1"><tbody>		<tr> 			1		</tr><tr> 			<td class="catend" colspan="5"></td>		</tr>	</tbody></table></div>

.table { width:100%;  text-align: left;  }

[aspnetguy]

I guess you should see the code.

What code...the links are to PNG images

[justsomeguy]

I was trying to be funny by using "guess" and "the code" in the same sentence.. I thought it was sort of.. nevermind.Try closing that 1 inside of a <td></td>, you just have it hanging out in the <tr></tr>.

Thank you!! It worked!

I think that right there proves that Opera is the "strictest" browser and doesn't let you get away with garbase code like IE, although I am surprised FireFox displayed it correctly.

[justsomeguy]

I'm surprised Firefox allows stuff like that as well, but when you think that Firefox's goal is to get people to switch from IE, I guess it makes a little sense to allow for a little crap here and there. I hope they phase that out as the versions progress though and get a little more strict, lazy web developers have had it too good for too long! The way I see it, there is no need for something like "quirks mode", or any alternative way of displaying a page. It should ideally be unambiguous how to display it, but that counts on web developers knowing what they are doing (that's why we're here, isn't it?) and not making the browser guess.I'm surprised Opera displayed it in the table at all though. Most of the time when I screw up and leave something out of a td, Opera puts the content above the table itself. Not the best presentation choice, but it definately lets me know right away that I screwed up.

although I am surprised FireFox displayed it correctly.

... but did it? How do you correctly display invalid code?

Yes, that usually happens with me to justsomeguy, if I dont have my info inside of a <tr> or <td> it will just stick it efore the start of the table. Must be how you coded it!BTW, 400th post!
