Lines from a table keep disappearing

    I’ve found some error in the coding for WordPress.

    When you add a table (you have to add the border=”1″ bit otherwise the lines of the table don’t show) by adding this sort of code:

    eg. <table border=”1″><tr>TEXT</tr></table>

    it looks OK in the Preview after you save it.

    But the problem is that when you go back to the Code view to add more text, the “<table border=”1”> has disappeared!

    You just have

    tr>TEXT</tr></table>

    so it loses the lines of the tables on the next preview.

    Could WP please look into this as tables are a useful addition to blogs.

    I can’t understand why code you put in is altered by WP the next time you look at it with Code View.

    As far as I can tell, this is the same problem as in the other thread. Send a feedback when support re-opens after Wordcamp, as staff has requested that such inquiries be made directly to them via Feedback.

    I worked out what I did wrong. It’s not WP, it was me. I didn’t close tags and WP tried to tidy the code for me. When I closed all tags, it worked fine.
