It is best practise to wrap paragraphs in a P element. If you have paragraphs
in your table data (which is relatively rare, but still possible), then you
should use P
Tables are used to present data. So I think it makes perfect sense to
simply put the data in the cells, and not wrap them in p tags. Would
there be a reason to have a table of paragraphs?

Wrapping table cell content in a p tag adds unneccessary padding and
code. Unless you have a good reason, such as multiple paragraphs
within a table cell, I would avoid the extra code. If you have
multiple paragraphs, then you might want to adjust the css so you
don't have extra space (the

I'd say no, never. Each cell should contain exactly what's contained
in the corresponding DB field. If it's text, it might well *contain*

Hi
that's because IE6 doesn't support attribute selectors. but you can
use classes instead.

Don't know about best practice but I can tell you about ways I

with the options you offer.
I usually put helpful information in the title attribute of a link,

These solutions are interesting, but I'm only willing to spend time
looking at them if:
* Users without Javascript but with Flash can still view the movies
* I can integrate them with my CMS (Plone) -- I'll need to generate
the code dynamically
* I don't have to litter the body with Javascript

Hi,
Thanks for your replies on this. I'd embedded the movie in the way Tim

when you use this method to deal with the inevitable messages you get
when you don't have the plugin installed. You'd get round this with a

I think the answer here may lie in descriptive help text about which

Hey Everyone,
I think this is correct. What happens is that if you don't set a width,
it defaults to 'auto'. In that case you have a left margin, right
margin, and width all with 'auto' values. This forces the left margin
value to become 0 and the right margin value to be ignored. I think.

IE6 in standards mode does, actually. But you need to give the element

This works well...

text-align: center;

#container {
margin: 0 auto;

But so does this...
