in reply to replacement for deprecated encoding pragma

please edit your post and put your sample HTML code inside <code> tags, not <pre> tags.

Otherwise it's destroying the whole formatting of this thread.

    I did it in pre, because it's not a part of the source code, but the generated result, as it should look.
    I tried to changed it to code and became gibberish, not what I intended.
    So, I changed it back to pre, as the purpose of for it to be displayed, as it looks on the result output, but not show the internal code of it.

      Well obviously was your table not finished and you have some illegal tags too.

      It's pretty hard to read and destroys the formatting.

      Deleting your post is another option to consider...

    PerlMonks is assumed by the browsers to be using the Latin-1 encoding. Anything entered into text entry fields but not fitting into Latin-1 is encoded into HTML entities. They work in the <pre> tags, but <code> tags are processed specially not to let anything HTML-looking be interpreted as HTML, so they are double-encoded on output. The result is that

        You see, changing pre to code defeated the purpose of demonstrating the difference.
        In code view, you can't see the way it supposed to look.
