Dear all,
I'm a first time user of Rapid PHP and currently evaluating.
I'm a fond 'cleaner' of my code and therefor started using Tidy on my existing (HTML) code, before continuing to PHP cleaning.
Although I found that Tidy is a third-party module, I assume that plenty of people here have come across the same message as me after tidying:
"warning: <table> lacks "summary" attribute"
As I use, as do many, tables across all of my HTML pages and most do not need an explanatory 'summary', I would like to have Tidy NOT check for this attribute.
I've tested with many attribute in Tidy settings, but the warning remains.
How can I turn off the check for "summary" attribute in Tidy ?
Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gerard

Tidy is doing it's job! Tidy is checking the validity of your code. It's a w3c rec that all tables have a summary attribute.
two options come to mind:
a)consider abandoning tables for layout (css aint that hard)
b)include a summary! summary="layout table" will let some one with a screen reader know not to look for tabular data in your table (which is what tables are meant for).
