Once again, please help!

*bows down to super awesome people*

Can someone please explain why the same html tables are being interpretted differently by different layout styles? Is there a way to fix this?

See The List to see what I mean. If you click on some people's table links, they have tables the way I made them, but others are coming out with some of the lines or none of them.

I tried it on [livejournal.com profile] mod_the_grid and it came out with only some of the lines. As far as I can tell the different layouts interpret the html differently, but bwah?! *flail* Anyone got a magic solution?

I'm only glad it's the lines and not the prompts that go missing. heh.

I think it's fine and you're worrying too much =)

No not that table... the tables being linked. have a look. Some people's LJ's change the lines. It's not a huge issue, just weird. O_o A few people pointed it out to me.

I did check out each LJ one and it's only a couple that look slightly different - but not too different.

I think it's just that the lines aren't visible on some backgrounds. If you select the area of the table, the lines still pop up, so they're definitely there. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

Oh okay. WEIRD! :P

That's what I did - just did edit and select all and you can see where the table should be.

I think for mine it's because the base style of the layout has a table on white where it's been decided no borders shall show/ At least I think that's what's happening because when I add some code to my custom css for tables I can get them to show up now but it affects the archive section in the left sidebar.

Ah, interesting and waaaay too complicated for me. Thanks, hon!

Bottom line is its not your code that's dodgy, people will just have to fix it themselves if they want the borders. :)
