Frontpage 2003 Bug?? Cellspacing

Is anyone else having this problem or only me.
When creating a table, if modifying the cellspacing = 0 and cellpadding = 0...
why does frontpage not insert the cellspacing = "0" into the html code?? but does insert cellpadding = "0"???

RanjeetRain

HTML standards demand that.

Let me explain.

Any entity, which is a non keyword, has to be quoted as per HTML standards. So, be it whatever value you assign, it has to be inside double quotes.

CELLSPACING = 0

Works but is NOT compliant.

CELLSPACING = "0"

Complies to HTML standards.

BACKGROUND = RED

Works but is NOT compliant.

BACKGROUND = "RED"

Complies to HTML standards.

RanjeetRain, you've mistaken my question/problem.

Not that I'm aware of. If you insert the table into the page while you're in html view, and still don't get the cellspacing attribute - then there's probably no way to speed up the process. I've used their demo quite a few times and never experienced that behvaiour - so it's very likely that it's particular to your specific OS/FP version. If you're using the beta that may be having an effect...
