[Moin-user] Illegal HTML attribute "bgcolor"

[Hiers, Richard]

Robert,

BTW, I got my original syntax from the HelpOnTables page.  Legacy
markup, I know.  But it worked.

I changed my markup to match what you suggested and then the GUI editor
works fine, but if I change it to match my original formatting (first
row only has a background color), I get the same bgcolor error, even
though that tag is nowhere on the page.  Here is what I changed it to:

||<tablestyle="float:right;" rowstyle="background: #cccc99; text-align:
center;">'''Table Of Contents''' ||
|| [[TableOfContents]] ||

This displays properly.  The only problem is trying to edit the page
using the GUI editor.  Is there a more appropriate way to color this
first row?

Thanks
Richard

And so you should.  First off, bgcolor is not valid wiki table markup,
and it's also not valid CSS.  Hence something like

||<tablestyle="float:right; background: #cccc99; text-align: 
center;">'''Table''' ||

might be more what you're looking for.
