Hi Eric, > I just checked out my personnel web site with www.echoecho.com > it said > Error: unknown attribute "HEIGHT" for element <tr>. > > even though this passes by tidy and it is my HTML book > > maybe http://www.echoecho.com/ is wrong It doesn't look like HTML allows a "height" attribute on <tr>. I checked the HTML 4.01 and 3.2 specs. So echoecho is right. As for Tidy, there is a known problem with its checking of illegal attributes. The problem is that in most cases, Tidy does not check attributes on a per-element basis. Because "height" is allowed on certain other elements like <img> and <object>, Tidy ends up allowing it on ALL elements. And your HTML book seems to be wrong. Unfortunately, many HTML books contain mistakes like this. Randy
