<tbody> vs. <table>
 

I'm running into a problem where using <tbody> causes the header bar to malfuntion, while using <table> in it's place fixes the header bar, but causes other things to go wrong.

What is the difference between these two tags, and more importatly, what can i do to make one of them work right?

I've attached two screen shots showing the difference. The first uses <table>, the second, <tbody>.

Need to see all of your code, but

a <table> tag is the start of a table, tbody is definging the body or part of the body of a table. So correct syntax

<table>
<thead>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You should be able to use tbody without a thead.

This is the code from the default vB 'forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost' template:

I'm trying to add:

Somewhere, so that these images act as 'endcaps'.

The code I'm using (that doesn't work right) is:

The issue comes down to the first part of the table, this table is setup for 1 td looking at the templatem you're adding another one, you need to add a row/column span, or add an additional td tag to the first part of the table.

How or where would I go about doing that?

Its your code :) so I can't tell you/

It's actually vB's code... I'm just trying to tweak it. There is no <table> tag in the template I'm working in, so I'm assuming it comes from somwhere else?

Try looking in FORUMHOME, as no doubt there is a table inside of it, and that table uses the $forumhome_blah_blah_bit variable which CONTAINS the template you're editing.

Found it:

But I'm not sure what to do in order to fix the problem...
