So at work we were going over a gigantic script and finding a bunch of table errors introduced by none other than ... ME.
It seems that it's not enough to have good code command structures, those structures containing those commands must also be viable for the control structures to work properly.
Bear in mind that this particular script has been in use for about 4 years now.
It seems that older versions of the middleware allowed the browser to "shore up" the code elements somewhat and as time progresses they have all become less forgiving.
In the final tally the table is better suited for less complex scripting. However, if it is to be used it must be used correctly. Suffice it to say that I must pay attention to the structure of tables if I continue to use them.
Then of course, if the number of post elements set in the server is far too low ... this is also problematic and erroneous !
