Hello.

I design my web pages using dreamweaver.

When i use tables, they display in IE but not in Mozilla - the text in the tables displays nice and neatly but the actual table is invisible - i.e. no border or background colour displays.

Is this something to do with Style Sheets?

What can I do to prevent this happening.

Thank you very much.

Can you post a URL to the page, so we can take a look please?

Yeah sure, it's:

Thanks for the quick response.

I also have trouble with tables with firefox, don't know why.

This is why you don't use dreamweaver and instead do the html.
Once you know html well doing things by hand takes no longer than dreamweaver and the end result is always better. If you post the html I can most likely tell you why its not displaying in firefox/mozilla.

I never use dreamweaver, i usually just use Wordpad and occasionally Frontpage.

Sorry just noticed that you did link to the html.... With that html what I'm more curious about is why it displays in IE...it shouldn't display like that.

Anyhow, here is some html that will do what you want that will work in firefox and IE (I did it real fast...the sizes are a bit different):

PS. Why would you use wordpad? xemacs is a free DL and you can use it on windows. It will format it...highlight the syntax etc etc.

Why not just use dreamweaver...its soo easy to pickup. Just stay away from the wysiwyg

Because it produces bad html and javascript. If you are just using it as an editor than you should just use something like xemacs its much cheaper.

Dreamweaver as an editor is quite advanced. I use it all the time and never once does it produce code for me =D, except ending opening tags. I code everything myself from php, sql, html, css, etc.. I even added Ruby using a simple tutorial. Now I have Ruby code highlighting... There is nothing wrong with Dreamweaver.

I don't know of anything that dreamweaver can do as an editor that you cannot also do with xemacs (or some other similar open source editor). If you like to pay a bunch of money for something that does less (you can't do half what you can do with xemacs with dreamweaver...) than go for it.

Also for actual programming languages I would use an IDE not something like Dreamweaver or even emacs.

Anyhow my point is...if you are using it as an editor then you could do the same for free. I generally don't like to spend money when I dont need to...maybe you do?

Thankyou very much Froggy mate:)
