da heck?

I am clearly missing something here. LJ is telling me that there is "irreparable invalid markup" in the post I am trying to make with a table with pictures in it. Aside from the obvious table and tr and stuff, It's basically a lot of this:

<td width="134"><center><img src="http://www.eristic.net/pics/tatsthumb.jpg" width="130" height="100"></center></td>

And the error is specifically:

Irreparable invalid markup ('<img [...] </td>') in entry.

Can someone tell me wtf either it is, or I am, smoking? I am not seeing any problem in the HTML there. If I view it in something that just interprets HTML (like a browser, or the preview tab of Deepest Sender) it looks fine. (Yes, I checked for missing quotes, slashes, less-thans, etc)

da heck!

I copied & pasted the code exactly in a private test post in my journal and it worked just finendandy ....

LJ's on crack?

No clue. Sounds like a job for the mighty superhero Support Request.

I can't guarantee this will fix it, but it might be worth a try and is the best I can offer without seeing the full html of the table you're trying to insert:

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<img [...] http://www.eristic.net/pics/tatsthumb.jpg">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I can't guarantee this will fix it, but it might be worth a try and is the best I can offer without seeing the full html of the table you're trying to insert:

<img src=""http://www.eristic.net/pics/tatsthumb.jpg" width="130" height="100" />

The weird-looking backslash before the > symbol is the syntax for closing tags which have no natural separate closing tags. It may (and I emphasize may) be that LJ's html parser has been updated to a more current syntax and tags without closings are now causing it to shit itself. That's the most logical explanation that I can think of, anyway, from viewing the code you posted. Hope it helps and is something simple like that.

Err, that shouldn't have had two quotation marks in it. Retrying:

Unless they made that change in the past few days (and without announcing it anywhere, like news??), I don't think so. I use unclosed img tags all the time and they're fine. Maybe worth a try tho.
