W3 MarkUp Validation Service

[legwon]

why o why does it tell me that my code is not validated??

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

Line 40, column 55: there is no attribute "BORDERCOLOR" (explain...).
<TABLE align="Center" border="2" BorderColor="#0000FF" width="100%">

40: <TABLE align="Center" border="2" BorderColor="#0000FF" width="100%">

EDIT: this is just basic html :)

I am not sure what validator you used, but a few things to check:

- TABLE should be table (lower case)
- I assume there is an end for the table i.e. </table>
- The explain comment is not actually an error, but an explanation as to why you received the previous error

Looks like bordercolor is not a valid attribute then. You should use CSS for style anyway.

i used the 4.01 HTML validation.

i made all my tage to small letters and still didnt work.
i tried loking into css but i cant find a setup for what im using it as. :grrrr:
its an actual TABLE. its not a page layout.

This error is why I have re-written my site with css (because I would rather have valid site!).

But, I think that the bordercolor attribute is IE specific.

So, I would just give it a class and add a css declaration that specifies the color.

HTH,
