tables in forums editor?

[madscijr]

PS I did notice one thing, either the [ table ] tag needs the "={percentage width}" or the [ tr ] tags need a space after them, because I just posted this table code: 

Code: (Select All)

[table]
[tr][th]Heading Column A[/th][th]Heading Column B[/th][th]Heading Column C[/th][/tr]
[tr][td]Row 1 Col A[/td][td]Row 1 Col B[/td][td]Row 1 Col C[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Row 2 Col A[/td][td]Row 2 Col B[/td][td]Row 2 Col C[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Row 3 Col A[/td][td]Row 3 Col B[/td][td]Row 3 Col C[/td][/tr][/table]

and it messed EVERYTHING up! I couldn't even find the button to edit my post and fix it (finally I did at the top of the page). 

I tried fixing the table code using trial & error, and hit upon adding the "=95" and putting a space after the [ tr ] tags, and it seems to be working now. 

Does anyone have any idea why?

It's because of the underlying process of what's going on here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Nelly! 

I was just trying to help our friend Kernelpanic, and noticed that leaving the ={width} out of the table tag did some very weird things. 

No need to get defensive about MYCODE or explain why we don't want to let users post raw HTML, I get all that. 

I just didn't know that the ={width} was a required parameter for the table tag. 

Chill, buddy! No one's saying anything wrong with how we do tables here... I was just very confused for a minute! 

Actually, thank you for making all this possible! 

PS I'd still like to help Kernelpanic learn to add a simple table to his posts, but that's neither here nor there.
