Hey,

I'm coding a website right now and I'm having -WEIRD- unexplainable code errors.

I have a page with 2 identical tables placed within it. The tables have different content but just text.

IN FIREFOX:

Only with these two tables, a <tbody> tag is added between <table> and <tr> tags... and the proper closing tag also nested properly between </tr> and </table>. I never used this tag in my code anywhere. Heck, I dun even know what it does!

Here's the REALLY weird part:

Somehow, magically in Firefox, about 60% of the time, it will take an <a> tag and move its closing tag around... to odd locations like just after the <a> tag or in the middle of another <tr> .... and it really messes up the design of my page, since I have essentially:

<a>
<table>
(etc)
</table>
</a>

It's taking that </a> and putting it like:

<a></a>
<table>
(etc)
</table>

OR

<a>
<table>
<tbody><tr></a></tr>
(etc)
</table>


...notice the <tbody>, as it always seems to insert that. ALWAYS. But it only moves the <a> tag to random locations at random times.

So anybody have any ideas or do I need to call ghostbusters?

Thanks for any help,
-Matt

Update: I've solved the problem by re-writing how it's coded. But... if anybody has any ideas, I still prefer my other method best. (Please don't scold me for embedding a table in an <a> tag, I have my reasons.)...

i am sorry... but i have to scold you for using tables within ur <a></a> elements. you should not really use it. BECUASE the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD does not allow the <table> tag to be within <a> tag. That's for ur benefit.

Please don't scold me for scolding him when he said not to scold him

Lol rohan, I'm not going for that right now, in fact this won't even be published online. It doesn't need to be compliant, it's used for a local purpose.

Any good ideas then or am I just gonna get lectured? Lol
