There ARE no style statements on my website. I use NONE. Straight old-fashioned html.

I think we’re using different terminology. Can you tell me what YOU call a style statement?

Thanks! I’ve found it’s easiest to just code here on FR. Then you know what to expect. Take a look at the Canteen nested tables.

The HTML sandbox can be handy for testing code:

I use an HTML editor and post its code into the FR box. See my personal page. If I’m doing anything that FR is munging for you, freeper mail me and we’ll figure it out.

Anywhere you use style= is a style statement. If you compare the "Q" code on your web site and the "Q" code on FR, you'll see all the style statements have been removed on the FR code.

style statements are sometimes referred to as 'in-line CSS." FR doesn't render CSS code.

There are no style= statements in my code. Something is putting them there that’s not me. I’ll search more into that. Thank you for the help.

There are about 12 occurrences of this style statement in the code on your web site:Those style statements are being stripped from the code on FR.

Years ago I determined that FR was optimized for Firefox and IE was hosed. I ‘fixed’ it , and still do it, by doing the pages on my site and putting only a link to it on FR. It appears, by what you describe, it is still the case, i.e., FR does not care about IE or other browsers.

I fear that’s what I’m going to have to do. The problem is that the table isn’t for me, it’s for a friend. And she doesn’t have a website in which to put it. So I’ll have to keep the table in my site until we can find some way of making it FR friendly, which means I get to maintain it for her until then. Sigh. Sigh.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!

Does the HTML for the “Q” table have to reside on FR?

I think spel_grammer_an_punct_polise has a great idea in post #28. Post the table on your site and link to it here on FR. That would work!

Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best!!

If the table were for me, that would be no problem. But it’s for someone else who was going to take over maintenance, and she can’t do that if she can’t upload to my site. So it’s turn into her maintainer or make a version that WILL work on FR. Hopefully, we can run on my site for a while and eventually find another solution. Again, THANK YOU!

Is the table read only? If so couldn’t you print it to a .gif or .jpg and post it as an image?

Stick with a basic html table.

Cool stuff

I’m no programmer or HTML expert, but I’d love the ability to have “mouse over audio”.

Not sure what it takes but it’s awesome.

Just mouse over a link to get a sense of where/what you may encounter.

I’ve seen it before on an old web page by Joe Cartoon.

I looked into it a while back and I’m sure we can’t do it here on FR, but for your web site, it could add a very engaging feature.

No, it’s for newbies to Q or for people who want to check something out and don’t want to remember where it’s kept. So all the links need to work. But thanks for the idea.
