CGI tables *runs*

coldfingertips has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am having problems getting this table to work. I am trying to get the H5() to actually do something with the text but instead it's printing to screen as text rather than acting like code. When I remove the quotes around h5('hi')"), it changes the text but it alters the table cell. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this?

print table(
    Tr(
        td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},"h5('hi)"
+),
    ),
    Tr(
        td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},""),
    ),
    );

you've got some really funky quotes there. try: `td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'}, h5('hi') ),` [download] ~Particle accelerates	[reply] [d/l] [select]

One thing which has helped me when working with tables in CGI is start_table and end_table. This might have helped you pick up the problem with quotes which particle has pointed out. `use CGI qw(:standard start_table end_table); print start_table; print Tr(td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},h5('hi') +)); print Tr(td({-height=>'10', width=>'700', bgcolor=>'#BBCCEE'},"")); print end_table;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Nope, that wasn't the problem. When I remove the quotes the text changes but the table get's shifted as well, it makes the TD twice the size when the h5 works.	[reply]
