text of post disappears after adding table with image and text

  • Hi,
    I am trying to insert a table with two cells at the beginning of a post. The left cell will have an image, and the right cell will have text. This worked fine on an earlier post here: https://lasciencecoalition.org/2010/05/27/gene-mills-says-credit-jesus/

    But now, every time I try to do it again and preview the post after saving it in visual, the post disappears from the preview page, leaving only the title. This also just happened after saving it in html, although that had worked fine before. I have tried both pasting in and typing in the html. Here is what I am using:

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>[picture]</td>
    <td>[picture]</td> *I want to place some text here.
    </tr>
    </table>

    I also tried this without success:

    <table width=”100%”>
    <tr>
    <td align=”center”>[picture 1]</td>
    <td align=”center”>[picture 2]</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    I would appreciate help if anyone knows how to fix this. I am not knowledgeable about html code. Someone who is gave it to me.

    Thank you

  • I’m not entirely sure I understand what you’re asking, but have you tried

    <table>
<tr>
<td>[picture]</td>
<td>Put the text you want between the "table data" tags</td>
</tr>
</table>

    If you’re actually putting text between the “</td>” and the “</tr>” then that’s invalid HTML and results are unpredictable.

    I have not tried typing the text directly between the table data tags on the html page. I have been putting it in on the visual page once the table cell is written in using html. I will try this.

    Thank you.
