Your options are: 1. Accept the fact that the page is not valid in this respect. 2. Validate against a customized DTD that allows the attribute (see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/own-dtd.html ) 3. Remove the attribute, and use CSS instead, e.g. <td height="8" style="background: url(images/BAR-Left.gif)"> 4. Replace the use of an artificial table cell by suitable use of layout in CSS. (If you ask me, I would recommend primarily 4, but for old documents, that might not be feasible for now. Then there's not much practical difference between 1, 2, and 3.) -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
