Table possible?

    Hello,

    I’m using WordPress 2.7 and I want to add some regular pages. On one of the pages I’d like to add my CV.

    I’d like to have something like:

    time occupation
    time2 occupation2

    ….

    Is this possible? And if yes, how?
    The pure html code for a table does not work and I couldn’t find anything in the documentation. (At least, I haven’t found it, if it is mentioned somewhere).

    Thanks for your help.

    Sigrid

    It seems to work on my site. You just need to switch to the htlm editor and write the table code. Or, create it in someting else (dreamweaver/frontpage/notepad,etc) and paste it in.

    Yes, be sure to insert your html for the table in the HTML editor instead of the Visual editor.

    If you still have problems after that, go to WP-Admin > Settings > Writing and check to see if “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” is enabled. It is disabled on my website, and — I don’t know for sure — but I wonder if that would have something to do with it.

    Thanks. I’ve tried it and it works now.
    But I still have another problem:

    The formatting looks awful now. Is there a way, to force WordPress to use the same style like on the other pages as well?

    I think, the table looks horrible. But I cannot fix the paragraph style within the table.

    @dressedinvalue:
    “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” was disabled. I enabled it right now, but there is no difference in the apperance either way.

    The formatting would be controlled in the stylesheet. You might also look at adding Eric Meyer’s CSS Reset to your stylesheet. Otherwise some table styles are left to a browser’s default or inheriting other styles.
