CRUD table form problems

It's not perfect HTML, but it doesn't have to be, and comes from a JSP.
In any event, it's supposed to have two buttons, an "update" and "delete" button. However, that doesn't seem to work because the two buttons seem to overlap. So, maybe I should have a "delete" link? How would that work? Or, is there a better way? thanks, Thufir <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>JSP Page</title> </head> <body> <br> <br> <br> <table> <tr> <form accept-charset='UNKNOWN' method='get' action='/ Assignment' enctype='application/x-www-form-urlencoded'> <td title='update'> <input name='method' type='hidden' value='update'> <input name='id' type='submit' value='0'> </td> <td> <input name='title' type='text' value='#1: Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto'> </td> <td> <input name='link' type='text' value=' http://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Tyranny-Conservative-Mark- Levin/dp/1416562850/ref=pd_zg_rss_ts_b_book_1 '> </td> <td> <form accept-charset='UNKNOWN' enctype='application/x-www-form- urlencoded'><input type='submit' value='delete'></form> </td> </form> </tr> <tr> <form accept-charset='UNKNOWN' method='get' action='/ Assignment' enctype='application/x-www-form-urlencoded'> <td title='update'> <input name='method' type='hidden' value='update'> <input name='id' type='submit' value='1'> </td> <td> <input name='title' type='text' value='#2: Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment'> </td> <td> <input name='link' type='text' value=' http://www.amazon.com/Act-Like-Lady-Think-Relationships/ dp/0061728977/ref=pd_zg_rss_ts_b_book_2 '> </td> <td> <form accept-charset='UNKNOWN' enctype='application/x-www-form- urlencoded'><input type='submit' value='delete'></form> </td> </form> </tr> </table> </body> </html> |

However, your HTML is syntactically invalid, so you should either run it through a validator, such as validator.w3.org, and fix the errors, or should use a tool like HTML Tidy, that attempts to guess a valid HTML equivalent. If it still fails, try asking on in an authoring support forum. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. |

Well, not "preposterous", but possibly oxymoronic.
Thufir, John's point (if it is unclear) is that there is no such concept as "sufficiently valid"; either a document is valid, or it is not : there are no in-between states (/tertium non datur/). Of course, there are certain projects currently underway that seek to re-define "valid", but that is another matter entirely ...

I hope that whomever Thufir finds to answer his question provides a sufficiently useful answer - it might not be the *right* answer of course, but it might suffice. I'm confident you aren't the only one. Folks tend to wander onto this list rather frequently thinking that they will find help with basic HTML questions. They do not understand that this is a list for advanced practitioners that are helping to develop and refine new standards for HTML---and they may have been given incorrect advice to ask questions here. These folks are often not up-to-speed on even basic concepts such as what "validation" means in the context of producing language standards (e.g. the idea that a given string is either a sentential form in a given grammar---i.e. "valid"---or it is not.) This is unavoidable unless we make this a moderated list---which means some poor soul has to volunteer their time to read every posting and pass judgment on it. Unlikely to happen. Fortunately, there are usually people such as David that make very gracious replies in an attempt to help those who wander in discover that they are "in the wrong room" in a face-saving way, and may even try to point them in the right direction. I wonder if it would be possible to deploy an auto-responder that directs posters to a web form Thank you for your posting to www-html@.... To help us direct your question properly, please select one: Is your question: ( ) a general question seeking help with HTML? ( ) posting by an HTML expert that is contributing to a discussion of new HTML standards? If the user selects the first option, they can be redirected to a very polite message indicating that they've stumbled on the wrong forum for their purposes. We might even suggest keywords they could use to search for a better forum. Only if the users selects the second option would their post appear. Not only would this cut down on off-topic traffic, it would help folks like Thufir to find a more appropriate venue for their questions, and avoid embarrassment for all. I do, recognize, though that by bringing up a meta-discussion of how best to handle traffic on the list, I am myself engaging in an off-topic posting---and risking starting an whole off-topic thread in which the pros/cons of various strategies are debated. Though just in the time I've been typing this, I'm realizing that that thread is already underway. So, what the heck.

I think this might have something to do with the wording of the current HTML 4.01 REC: "Public discussion on HTML features takes place on www-html@... (archives of www-html@...)." That might be misleading. I doubt the spec would be updated just to make a change for that since errors by people like Thufir don't happen terribly often. Here is my proposed addendum, disregarding what I just wrote: "Please note that it is not intended to be a source of help regarding HTML. There are a number of message boards with users who have more time to address such issues." It's just a thought, but it might help. > This is unavoidable unless we make this a moderated list---which means some > poor soul has to volunteer their time to read every posting and pass > judgment on it. Unlikely to happen. I hope this doesn't happen, especially since that would require changing the HTML 4.01 REC anyway. -- Technology can be used for good or evil. Remember that and determine which side pays the most, taking into account the fact that payment isn't always in the form of money. |
