'div' inside 'table'
Is a div inside a table allowed or not according to W3C?
Solution 1:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div>content</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Solution 2:
You can't put a div
directly inside a table
, like this:
<!-- INVALID -->
<table>
<div>
Hello World
</div>
</table>
Putting a div
inside a td
or th
element is fine, however:
<!-- VALID -->
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div>
Hello World
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Solution 3:
You can put div tags inside a td tag, but not directly inside a table or tr tag.
Examples:
This works:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div>This will work.</div>
</td>
</tr>
<table>
This does not work:
<table>
<tr>
<div> this does not work. </div>
</tr>
</table>
Nor does this work:
<table>
<div> this does not work. </div>
</table>
