Well, I'm almost valid but

#1

I can't figure out how to change the problem below so my site will validate.

URL - http://www.lockboxdoorprotector.com/

Problem - there is no attribute "BACKGROUND"
Code - <td background="images/layout_r7_c1.jpg">

Thanks

Larry,
Hi, I speak from recent and bitter experience re this.
You'll need to use css to define the table background, instead of stating it
in the way you have.

I did find a number of useful websites giving examples of this... I'll try
to track them down again and re-post.

In the meantime, try a google search for "css table background" or similar.

Cheers,
Matt

Seems pretty self-explanatory to me...

You might like to try using CSS instead -

A meta-comment, if I may, to you and/or whoever discovers this in a
search of the archives:

Your subject says that "you" are almost valid. Suggestion - don't
attach yourself to your code to much. I realize it's just a figure of
speech, but so many times I see people post here and it goes a little
like this:

A: My page won't work.
B: This is wrong and this should be changed to that.
A: Waa! You're mean!

And the whole of the problem is people take criticisms of their code
as if they were criticisms of themselves. We see it every day.

You are a totally valid and good person; you are loved, loving and
worthwhile. It's your code that sucks, that's all. Avoid mixing the
two up, so that when your code is criticized, you don't take it
personally.
