Just started getting into HTML coding. My HTML design doesn't work with some computers, but it works great when I was coding/designing it and it also looks the same on some computers. So far the problems that I am getting are pictures overlapping links/paragraphs and tables aren't aligning correctly. Why is it working on some, but not others. I know it could be the operating system, but the design did work, it worked on windows 2000 and XP. I have a lot of tables. Is that the problem? I have used HTML and XHTML for coding...such as:<br />
<br />
XHTML:<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"<br />
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"><br />
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><br />
<br />
HTML:<br />
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"<br />
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><br />
<br />
Has anyone had this sort of problem and/or know the solution? If you need to look at the site, it is www27.brinkster.com/project4pat. But not all the links work...only the pictures link works, but it's the main/default page that is having problems. Thanks.<br />

<br />
And I just tried this XHTML:<br />
<br />
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"<br />
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><br />
<br />
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><br />
<br />
Will that work?<!--content-->sorry - I hate replying when I can't be any help. but I just had a look at the site, and I can't see a problem.<br />
<br />
hopefully now I moved the thread here, someone else with a bit more experience might be able to give you an answer.<br />
<br />

You have 4 tables, here, but no table rows and only two tables have <td> tags. All tables require <table><tr><td></td></tr></table> tags. I suspect that the images and stats are mashed together because the tables aren't set correctly. <br />
<br />
And, again, don't quote me on it, but unless you're using a frame or an iframe, you can't insert an html document into another one. That would give you two <body> tags and that could be what's messing things up.<br />

the link again if you need to see it is www27.brinkster.com/project4pat. thanks.<!--content-->the reason for this error<br />
document type does not allow element "TABLE" here is because you have nesting problems. check and double check your code and make sure you nesting is correct.<br />
<br />
hence:<br />
<br />
<font><b>test</font></b><br />
<br />
that is incorrect nesting, it has to be like so:<br />
<br />
<font><b>test</b></font><br />
<br />
I can see you also forgot to close some tables before you started the new ones.<!--content-->
