I may be wrong, but I believe that TD does not have a width attribute in
HTML version 4 (this being described in the col element).
Tidy does not complain when parsing the following file :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title> <body>
<table width="100%" border="9" summary="test">
<col width="40%" align="center">
<col width="60%" align="left">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="10%"></td> </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The output message is :
Tidy (vers 30th November 1999) Parsing "table.html"
"table.html" appears to be HTML 4.01
no warnings or errors were found
BTW, the HTML output is *correct* (the width has been removed)
My question is : should not tidy complain in order to allow the user to
clean the source.
Maybe is this a "psycho-rigid-Unix-user-question" :-)
And sad enough, 50% of the HTML browsers I wanted to use with my pretty
cleaned and correct HTML were not able to display it correctly :-(
Jany.
tidy is great anyway. Thanks Dave.
