H2 tag in Table?

[johanna0507]

Hi!
I have put an H2 tag in a table that is created via php, but that makes the page not compile on W3!

The tag "works" in CSS though - I am able to manipulate that text using CSS.

I am new to web development and don't know what to make of this. In traditional programming, if code doesn't validate/compile, it doesn't run... So you can't ignore it. In this situation, what do I do? The tag needs to be in a table or the design is ruined!

The code is below.. Can it be changed to validate..? Or do I ignore the validation error..?

.............<tr><td colspan="4" class="post_title_date"> 
<?php the_time(_t('l, jS F, Y')) ?> <?php _te('at'); ?> 
<?php the_time() ?></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="4" class="post_title">
<h2><?php the_title();?></h2></td></tr>
</table>

You've got the h2 inside your anchor. It has to be the other way around.

Thanks Tyssen!
I am experimenting trying to fix this now..
But sorry I am a real newbie and self-taught, so I don't know what 'anchor' means..

I am trying putting H" OUTSIDE the row declaration instead. Like this.

<h2><td class="post_title">
<a class="post_title_text"
href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title();?></a> </td></h2>

That seems to loose the formatting and doesn't seem to work. I'll try a few other combinations...

If you see this, please take pity on a newbie and help me....

Best
Jo

Oh, Ok its like this

<td class="post_title">
<h2><a class="post_title_text"
href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title();?>
</a> </h2></td>

Thanks!

Good article on using Firefox for developing on http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/ ! Lots of great tips that it would take years to come across by chance.
