Re: Re: CGI tables *runs*

One thing which has helped me when working with tables in CGI is start_table and end_table. This might have helped you pick up the problem with quotes which particle has pointed out.

use CGI qw(:standard start_table end_table);

print start_table;
print Tr(td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},h5('hi')
+));
print Tr(td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},""));
print end_table;

Nope, that wasn't the problem. When I remove the quotes the text changes but the table get's shifted as well, it makes the TD twice the size when the h5 works.	[reply]

And that is an HTML problem ... it's what happens when you stick a heading inside of a table cell. Besides, it is not wise to try and control cell heights ... the `height` attribute for `<td>` tags is deprecated (reference). You really should start using Cascading Style Sheets if you need that kind of control (and most of the time ... you really don't). jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]
