Possible XHTML bug with <asp:Table> tag and HorizontalAlign property

Mark Rae

Hi,

Consider the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
....
....
....
<asp:Panel ID="pnlCart" Runat="server" HorizontalAlign ="Center">
<asp:Table HorizontalAlign ="Center" ID="tblCart" Runat="server"
BorderColor="Wh ite" BorderStyle="So lid" BorderWidth="1" GridLines="Both ">
<asp:TableRow >
...
</asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableRow >
...
</asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableRow >
...
</asp:TableRow>
<asp:Table>
<asp:Panel>

That produces the following HTML:

<div id="pnlCart" style="text-align:center;">
<table id="tblCart" align="Center" rules="all" border="1"
style="border-color:White;bor der-width:1px;borde r-style:Solid;">
<tr>
....
</tr>
<tr>
....
</tr>
<tr>
....
</tr>
</table>
</div>

This fails validation through http://validator.w3.org/ because of the
capitalisation of "Center" in align="Center". Even changing the <asp:Table
tag to spell it with a lower-case "c" i.e. HorizontalAlign ="center" still
renders the HTML with a capital "C".

I don't want to use a textalign style, as that will center all the text
within the individual tablecells.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way round it to pass XHTML
validation?

Any assistance gratefully received.

Mark,

tblCart.Attribu tes["align"]="center"; ?

LOL! Yes, of course - but that's hardly the point!

The point is that it could be a work-around, one of the things you've asked
for. Does it work or no?

asked for.

OK, I'm sorry - I didn't phrase my question clearly enough.

I was asking if the fact that the HorizontalAlign attribute of the
<asp:Tabletag generates non-compliant XHTML markup was a bug or not, and
if there was any way of persuading the <asp:Tabletag to generate
XHTML-compliant markup when using the HorizontalAlign tag.

Does it work or no?

Yes of course it does.

Need help in design mode with <asp:Table> component

by: Ed. | last post by:

I apologize if this is a stupid question. When working with the <asp:Table> component in design mode, how do you select controls placed in the table cells? I can only seem to click on the table itself rather than the individual components within the cell. Also, what's the advantage of using <asp:Table> rather than just a simple <Table>? Thanks.
