Tables not looking just right
So I want to use a table and I have been fighting with the code for a while, looking up how to's here and there, and I'm getting close. Why has my table become two columns instead of one?
Thank you for your time.



Code:
<table class="center" border="1" sytle="width:50%">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>SPECIFIC WARNING SIGNS FOR COMMON CANCERS</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>

      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <ol>
              <li>COLONORRECTAL CANCER: rectal bleeding, blood in the stools, and change in bowel habits.</li>
            </ol>
          </td>

          <td>
            <ol start="2">
              <li>
                <p style="text-align: justify;">BLADDER CANCER: blood in the urine and increased urinary frequency.</p>
              </li>
            </ol>

            <ol start="3">
              <li>
                <p style="text-align: center;">SKIN CANCER AND MELANOMA: a change in the color or size of a mole, generally involving the spread of pigmentation, oozing, bleeding, scaliness, tenderness, and itchiness.</p>
              </li>
            </ol>

            <ol start="4">
              <li>
                <p style="text-align: center;">PROSTATE CANCER: Weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in the urine, and nagging pain in the lower back, pelvis, and groin.</p>
              </li>
            </ol>

            <ol start="5">
              <li>
                <p style="text-align: center;">BREAST CANCER: a lump, swelling or thickening in the breast, or other changes in the texture of breast tissue; nipple discharge or retraction; and dimpling of the skin.</p>
              </li>

              </li>
            </ol>

            <ol start="7">
              <li>
                <p style="text-align: center;">LUNG CANCER: nagging cough, chest pain, streaks of blood in the sputum, and recurring pneumonia or bronchitis.</p>
              </li>

                <p style="text-align: center;">LEUKEMIA / LYMPHOMA: fatigue, weight loss, paleness, persistent infections, swollen lymph nodes, easy bruising, fever and night sweats.</p>

            <p align="justify" style="text-align: center;">10. The good news is that while cancer cannot be cured by conventional medicine (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), alternative natural medicine has repeated shown that it can be cured — especially by therapies that involve chiefly uncooked foods and raw vegetable juices like carrots, beets, celery, etc. The truth is often stranger than fiction. Believe it or not!</p>

You don't need to keep restarting the ol numbering. "Start" isn't supported in EPUB2 anyway. Neither are some other items you've used, the code won't pass validation.

If you wish the table to fill only half the page width, correct the misprint "sytle" in line 1. But I suspect you don't need that bit at all.

Here's a start. But run Validate in Sigil and see where your other problems lie. There are easier ways to place a border round a paragraph.

BTW I think there are laws against advertising quack cures for cancer.

Code:
<table class="center" border="1" sytle="width:50%">

Forgot to thank you for the help. Took the advice and came up with this, which works.

I split the chart in two, because I didn't like how to cut at the bottom of the page.



Code:
<body>
  <table border="20%" class="center" width="80%">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>
          <p class="center">SPECIFIC WARNING SIGNS FOR COMMON CANCERS</p>
        </th>
      </tr>
    </thead>

    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <p class="bullet">1. COLONORRECTAL CANCER: rectal bleeding, blood in the stools, and change in bowel habits.</p>
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>
          <p class="bullet">2. BLADDER CANCER: blood in the urine and increased urinary frequency.</p>
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>
          <p class="bullet">3. SKIN CANCER AND MELANOMA: a change in the color or size of a mole, generally involving the spread of pigmentation, oozing, bleeding, scaliness, tenderness, and itchiness.</p>
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>
          <p class="bullet">4. PROSTATE CANCER: Weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in the urine, and nagging pain in the lower back, pelvis, and groin.</p>
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>
          <p class="bullet">5. BREAST CANCER: a lump, swelling or thickening in the breast, or other changes in the texture of breast tissue; nipple discharge or retraction; and dimpling of the skin.</p>

Don't forget the page break may come at a different place on a different device, different screen size, different text size...
