No problem, re-applied.

It's just more XHTML standard compliant. No need to worry about if you don't want to change it, you'll be fine.

tamarian I'm still getting a couple of errors on the XHTML compliance test, I've managed to track it back to this column hack.

"end tag for "tr" which is not finished"

Any ideas?

It seems to be something to do with having uneven numbered subforums as I get two occurences of this and have 2 lots of uneven numbered subforums.

Try this:

Instead of this:

This should add an empty cell to odd numbered sub-forums.

Let me know if it passes, and I'll add it to the original.

Exactly same error, no change at all :(

Wouldn't it need to be inside the foreach loop?

No, it's only for the last subforum for each parent forum. If the last sub-forum is odd, it adds an empty cell to complete the TR.

Why not post the errors, and someone might spot it for us.

I can't validate my own main page, since I'm sure it will stop the validation too early due to too many XHTML errors :)

Line 279, column 493: end tag for "tr" which is not finished

Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element (e.g. 'ul') which requires a child element (e.g. 'li') that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete

Thats the complete error, notice that the <tr> is still immediately terminated, there is no blank cell in there.

I'm pretty sure it's not the odd number of columns causing this now, it seems as if it's related to some subforums having subforums of their own.
