I have loaded a three column table in html on a page in SCC

I am after filling each field with TEXT, IMAGE, TEXT

However, I can't get the fields to show any cellspacing.

Here is the html code I am using

[[[<html>

<body>

< table cellspacing="20" cellpadding="20">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" td width="250" > It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
<td width="250" ><img src="../jewellery shop/new pics/DSCF0026.JPG" width="250" height="250" /></td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" td width="250">It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
</tr> </table></div>

</body>

</html>]]]

Any help greatly appreciated

Remove the <html> and <body> tags. They are not needed.

Remove the td in front of width="250" in the first <td> tag.

You didn't include an opening <div> tag.

Thank you for your help. The code works fine in a html editor but it doesn't work once pasted into the HTML box within the "page" section of SCC

When you preview the page in SCC the cell spacing is all gone !!!

code I am using

<div>

<table cellspacing="20" cellpadding="20">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" width="250" > It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
<td width="250" ><img src="../jewellery shop/new pics/DSCF0026.JPG" width="250" height="250" /></td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" td width="250">It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
</tr> </table></div>

I don't know why as the cellspacing attribute is allowed in XHTML strict, transitional, and frameset DTDs.

mmm

I'm no html wizard, so I can't see where the problem is.

I can get both codes to work in an editor, but not within SCC html

One code can't get the cellspacing to work and the other attempt can't get the text to align top.

Arrgggghhhh........

OK

Got this to work.

<div style=" text-align: top; text-indent: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;"><table width="900" border="1" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" style="background-color: #ffffff;">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" width="250" > It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
<td width="250" ><img src="../jewellery shop/new pics/DSCF0026.JPG" width="250" height="250" /></td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;" td width="250">It was never meant to nethis way nor should it have ever happenedd </td>
</tr> </table></div>

Thank you for your help

Good job. You also shorten your div padding and margin to just one 0px if all four sides are the same.
