html dissappears from sections?

Hi Tully,

I would use GP's built in grid system. Do something like this:

<div class="grid-50 tablet-grid-50 mobile-grid-100">
Left side content
</div>
<div class="grid-50 tablet-grid-50 mobile-grid-100">
Right side content
</div>

Let me know.

Or use a plugin which uses the same grid: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightweight-grid-columns/

Also, the WP editor will strip HTML if it's empty.

For example, it would strip this:

<span></span>

As there's nothing in there.

But if you add an HTML comment inside, it will leave it alone:

<span><!-- empty element -->

Hi Leo and Tom,

Thanks for the help. However I really do want to use a table not columns. I am not using the table to layout a page, but as a table, so would like to find a way to set the column width of the table.

Not sure why the html I put in works for a while and then dissappears? Is the html in error or something? Here is the full code:

<h2><span style="color: #000000;">The handler's position - in control, or out of control? -</span><span style="color: #000080;"> COMING SOON</span></h2>
<table>
<col width=”50%”> THIS IS THE CODE THAT WORKS FOR A BIT THEN DISSAPPEARS.

In this episode, Tully explains how to keep yourself in a position where you can control the pup and influence its behaviour, rather than being out of position and allowing the pup to run riot!</td>

Thanks

Ahh I see. I would recommend using a plugin like TablePress:

Hi guys, the following css seems to have done it:

td, th {
width: 50%;
}

unless there are any reasons that isn't a good idea?

Nope you should be good.

GP doesn't use those element in default settings.
