I like using tables on my site. I have the errors down to one, how do I make BlueVoda Tables comply with HTML 4.01 Transitional w3c. The following is the error message. Can this be done without css? I have been working on this for days now.

An example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>Untitled Page</TITLE>
<META name="GENERATOR" content="Created by BlueVoda">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<DIV style="position:absolute;left:226px;top:108px;widt h:276px;height:149px;z-
index:0" align="left">
ccs
<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
<TR>
<TD align="left" valign="top" width="135" height="72"> </TD>
<TD align="left" valign="top" width="136" height="72"> </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="left" valign="top" width="135" height="72"> </TD>
<TD align="left" valign="top" width="136" height="72"> </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Error Line 12 column 27: there is no attribute "HEIGHT".
<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type.

1) The above is not a bug.

2) There is wysiwyg web page maker or html editor like dreamweaver
or frontpage that will create 100% compliant html. Even if you run Googles
page through the validator, you will get errors. Stop obscessing, its not
healthy.

Perhaps your right *****, I am a little obscessive. Thanks for the feed back I realize I will never get it 100% perfect, I don't think anyone does. pet121
