Regarding the document at: http://faithlesscompanions.com/ The test threw: "Table contains less than two td elements A table with only one column is either the sign that the table is used: to represent a list of items to control the relative position of various sections of the page Both uses imply a layout based on tables. While most mobile devices support basic tables, they are rendered quite differently by different mobile browsers, and cannot be reliably used for layout. The table element should only be used - with care - to represent tabular data." Unfortunately this is factually incorrect. The table contains six td elements (not less than two) and has two columns (not one). <table id="members"> <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-cathy.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Cathy Smith</strong> <br> vocals, keyboard, bass guitar <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-kevin.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Kevin Smith</strong> <br> vocals, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-scott.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Scott Williams</strong> <br> vocals, guitar, bass guitar <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-jay.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Jay Purrington</strong> <br> vocals, guitar <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-edward.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Edward McGuire</strong> <br> vocals, drums, guitar, banjo <tr> <th> <img class="mug" src="mug-damon.jpg" alt=""> <td> <strong>Damon Barnard</strong> <br> audio engineer </table> <!-- members --> The test was, however, very good at pointing out other ways that the table content will be problematic on some mobile devices, and it made good suggestions for resolving those problems.
