Tables not working in IE6 but ok in Mozilla Firefox

I'm new to coding and have been given an assignment from a friend to
try and get me up to speed with tables, doctypes and xhtml. The problem
I am having is that my table works fine in Firefox browsers but break
in IE6. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Please see http://www.skatopia.co.nz/Phil_homew...l_answer2.html

ps - I wrote the code in Notepad and have been reading HTML 3rd EDITION
THE COMPLETE REFERENCE to learn from during this process. I've been
validating the code at http://validator.w3.org/, and used Dave Raggetts
TIDY ONLINE to clean up my code (http://valet.htmlhelp.com/tidy/)

ps - the javascript rollovers are a "work in progress", ie another
problem I'm working through, it's mainly the table layout I'd like to
understand at this stage.

Do not use "<?xml ...". IE doesn't really know what to do with it.
Why are you using Transitional? That is meant only as an interim doctype
while converting legacy code. Use Strict.
You have a number of validation errors. Fix those.

I'm stumped. Visit: http://positivesweat.com/class.html ....and look at the tables in the middle labeled "morning" and "evening". Do this in both IE and Firefox. The tables appear to me to be defined identically (to take up 100% of the width of the parent table), and indeed IE makes them the same width, as I wanted and expected. But in Firefox (latest), the "evening"

Hello, I have two scroll boxes on the same page. The first scroll box is good in IE but the words will not wrap correctly in Firefox. The second scroll box is good in all browsers.

The doPostBack javascript functioning is not submitting the page when called by linkbuttons (or an autopostback checkbox, for that matter). I'm aware of a problem with Netscape browsers and the postback code, but I have a workaround for that installed (and it looks like the code generated by ASP.NET when it renders the page does the same thing, namely, setting document<). However, the problem still exists under firefox. Has anyone come...

I have a script (see below) that accesses a XML file and displays the contents through a series of document.write calls. This all works fine in IE, but not at all in Firefox. I get no errors in the javascript console, but when I try to load the elements by tag name and look at the length it is always 0 as if no elements have been added. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I've been stuck on this for a while now. Thanks,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
