In HTML 4.01, closing tags for <td> and <tr> are optional; the W3C validator won't give you an error if you leave them out - in fact many of the table examples in the standard itself leave out the optional closing tags. On the other hand, it *is* true that Netscape 4.x has problems when these optional closing tags are not present (that's a bug). And since as of XHTML 1.0 all tags must be closed anyway, it would be a good strategy to get used to closing all tags with optional closing tags all the time. Less trouble with browser bugs, more consistent code, everyone gains! -- (database,sql,query,table) GRRR!!!
