Craigslist HTML Question

[brettmkaufman]

Hey everyone,

Having a little issue getting something to show up in a craigslist posting and was hoping somebody could help.


This is what it is supposed to look like

I cannot get the green table at the top to show up in craigslist.

Any ideas?

Might be because you're missing the opening <table> tag, among others? Try this:

<table width="805" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" >
	<tr>
		<td colspan="3" bgcolor="#ED924B">
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td bgcolor="#ED924B">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
		<td bgcolor="#B8D14F">
			<div align="center"><font color="#333" size="5"><b>CALLING ALL OUTGOING AND ENERGETIC STAFF TO WORK AN EXCITING ONE-DAY EVENT!!!</b></font></div>
		</td>
		<td bgcolor="#ED924B">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td colspan="3" bgcolor="#ED924B">
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

...

Basically, validate your HTML.

instead of trying to do it with background colors, you should use table borders with the different colors. The following code should get you started:

<table width="805" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" >
	<tr>
		<td style="border-top: 20px solid #ED924B;border-left: 20px solid #ED924B; border-right:20px solid #ED924B;"  bgcolor="#B8D14F" colspan="3"><div align="center"><font color="#333" size="5"><b>CALLING ALL OUTGOING AND ENERGETIC STAFF TO WORK AN EXCITING ONE-DAY EVENT!!!</b></font></div>
		</td>
			
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td style="border-left: 20px solid #ED924B;" bgcolor="white">&nbsp;
				
		</td>
		<td style="border-right: 20px solid #ED924B;" bgcolor="white">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td colspan="3" bgcolor="white">
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>
