Yeah :-)

That's one thing the Egyptians got right.




Actually, they got quite a lot right, clever bunch. Inspired by cats.

*snuffle* close table tag?
vexen From: [info]vexen Date: February 23rd, 2003 07:37 am (UTC) (Link)
It is closed... and it appears fine on my friends' list, but you and Ytaya both have a problem? What goes wrong? I guess it looks like the table isn't closed!... when I look at your friends page it looks fine to me... any suggestions?

What browser are you using? Maybe if you and Ytaya are using the same browser, I've gone and used some feature that you don't support (but I don't know what, it's all very basic HTML).
ytaya From: [info]ytaya Date: February 23rd, 2003 07:17 am (UTC) (Link)
Argh! I think you're missing a </table> tag, Vex. You've killed my stylesheet and rendered my friends page unreadable :)
vexen From: [info]vexen Date: February 23rd, 2003 07:53 am (UTC) (Link)

That's what Scruff thinks too, but that's not it. Your friends page looks fine to me... except, my entry does cause a discrepency, afterwards all your friends' entries become full width, whereas before my entry they are all at 95% width (or something like full width except for 20px either side).

I don't know what the cause is, I checked when Makali posted, and double checked when you said so too, but the table is closed properly, so are all the TDs and THs (with no excess ones either), and I'm sure that there's no missing speech marks or anything, 'cos that even messes up IE... which leads me to ask... what does it look like for you, that's it's become unreadable, and what browser are you using?

Makali and you both use custom styles, but so do I, so that's not it, I'm thinking if you're both using a particular browser, I may have used something (Like a TH tag?, I dunno, or the "?" that exists in the links to the actors' on imdb.com) that's confused them, or perhaps a LiveJournal feature is messing with the HTML in some way and causing it.

Does my entry itself display fine? Should be 20 rows of table... if it breaks after a certain row, then that would be a clue to me as to where the problem is! In particular I know I frequently accidentally close TDs when I should have closed a TH and vica versa (which IE handles fine, so I never notice), but I've checked all of them!

So this is me... confused.

My friends page shouldn't be full width - it should resemble my main journal page with a side menu to the right. Your entry views fine down to the last line that starts 'Words', but the links to read or post comments to the entry appear at the top of my friends page, above all the other entries. There's no divider between your entry and the one below it, which there should be.

I'm in Moz, it's not happy and it's definitely your entry cos if I go to the friends pages of other people who list you as friends, eg apesky or apexnemesis, they're screwy too :)

I've made 2 changes, and appears to have fixed... let me know.

FYI, the changes were (I've not typed the brackets on purpose):

On the "Food" row, the second cell was closing with a /th instead of a /td

I removed the carriage return between the last /tr and the /table

I have "auto-formatting" turned off, otherwise the layout is screwed when you do tables on LJ. Normally, td and th errors (one my most frequent errors!) have no affect, and on the webpage that much of the HTML came from, it has no affect (neither does the carriage return), so I'm guessing that at some point LJ servers are doing something behind the scenes.

I'm feeling investigative so I'm going to reply to this comment with a table tr td NOTHING /td /tr
/table (with a carriage return before the last closing tag) to see if that was actually the cause. Actually... I should make it a main entry, 'cos the nested responses may change the behavior, so I'm not going to yet (until I know if the problem has gone away)
ytaya From: [info]ytaya Date: February 23rd, 2003 10:06 am (UTC) (Link)
All fixed now! Hurrah! Thank you :)
vexen From: [info]vexen Date: February 23rd, 2003 08:57 am (UTC) (Link)
Yeah I see now, that's quite strange... it is actually behaving as if the table tag isn't closed, or it's got some stuff placed outside of a DIV tag. I'm still looking into it.
quaxo From: [info]quaxo Date: February 23rd, 2003 08:04 am (UTC) (Link)
Look at your entry and count the tags...
quaxo From: [info]quaxo Date: February 23rd, 2003 08:32 am (UTC) (Link)
Also, look at http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=vexen&itemid=140326 by itself - it's definitely this entry...
vexen From: [info]vexen Date: February 23rd, 2003 08:46 am (UTC) (Link)
I know it's this entry.
ytaya From: [info]ytaya Date: February 23rd, 2003 08:04 am (UTC) (Link)
And just FYI, it does it in IE on my machine, too.

this isn't something i get to say often, but you have excellent taste in artists, philosophers, and species. and you've got to be the only person i know with a favorite enzyme!

Thanks!

I love biology... I nearly done it at uni, but changed my mind at the last minute to do Computer Science.

eep. biology bored me to death. but that could've had to do with the preachy christian teacher, who liked to denounce evolution at every possible opportunity. blah.

Ehhh, just out of curiosity.... ever heard of oxalobacter formagenis?
