I'm trying to create a fairly simple table to lay out an itinerary.
Currently I'm using OpenOffice as it makes it easy to generate the table with row spans and column spans etc. It actually seems to produce quite straightforward HTML.
How are you generating the HTML in OpenOffice? It appears to give better results if you go to: File -> Export...
And then select the XHTML file format. You'll probably get much much
I don't seem to have XHTML as an export format. Is this an Open Office version 3 addition by any chance?
No, this is OpenOffice.org from the etch backports, it's 2.4.1.
better cross browser results that way, and the borders will be less sucky.
I just want plain borders, that's all. My problem seems to be Firefox being too clever.
It's not being clever in the slightest, it's looking at the ikky HTML that's being generated and degrading to HTML 3 type standards, with the unquoted evil that's involved - because BORDER=1 in the table it's using that - it should be using css and css classes to do the borders, which is what happens from the export option for me.
I also appear to have and export to LaTeX, which is mildly interesting.
Thanks,
