colgroup tag
I'm taking a class in html. We're working on tables, specifically the
<colgroup> tag. I cannot get this tag to work in dreamweaver mx 2004. I'm on an
imac G5 running 10.3.5. I can't even view the lesson's coding examples through
any of my browsers (the latest versions of firefox, explorer, and safari). I've
gone onto W3schools site and the presumed effect of the <colgroup> tag does not
show up for me. I've tried Taco HTML writer which offers a view of the page
independent of a browser and it still doesn't work. I've tried copying coding
off W3schools and other sites to see if the lesson's coding was inaccurate in
some way. That's not it. I've search for a preference in dreamweaver that
might solve this problem, but I've been unsuccessful. Any suggestions?

COL & COLGROUP tag
Is it possible to get the COL and/or COLGROUP tags emitted when rendering the datagrid? without creating new classes? I have checkboxes and buttons... -
Murray *ACE* #2 Re: colgroup tag
What are you expecting the <colgroup> tag to do for your display in DW?
Show us the code that you are using, please.

Thank you very much for responding. Here's the code.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

Since I posted this question, I've downloaded the latest Opera browser as well
as their html text editor widget. Now I'm able to view the correct alignment,
but I still can't see any style attributes (color, font, font size, and
font-weight. Thanks again for your help.

Murray *ACE* #4 Re: colgroup tag
1. Points are not a web-safe metric for font sizes. They are print
oriented. It's better to use a relative, or screen/pixel-based metric, like
pixels, em, percents, en, ex, or font size names (small, medium, etc.).
2. There should be no space between the size value and its unit, e.g.,
this -
14pt
not this -
14 pt.
For what it's worth, there are only two practical font weights: normal, and
bold. It happens that 900 is the same as bold. Other values are just
ignored by browsers....
