SharePoint 2010 MasterPage Footer - Custom Table

Question

Good Morning,

Little bit of help f possible. I have customised my SharePoint masterpage with a footer. This footer has a table in it which is split up into columns.

Within one of the columns I have added 3 custom search boxes, a sharepoint 2010 hit counter webpart and some text and a logo.

However when I publish this page not all of these elements are displayed. I know the page loads them as I can see them when I view the source code for the page so I am guessing they are hiding under the first element.

Enclosed is the code I am using within this table. If anyone is able to offer some advice I would be graetful.

<table width="350" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
      <div>
      <tr>
        <td style="height: 22px">

<form action="http://bbmmtoday.bbmmjv.com/_layouts/searchresults.aspx">
    <input type=text name=k placeholder="enter search..." size="32" id=k class="search"><input type="submit" value="search" class="button" >
        </form></td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>

&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>

        <td>

<form action="http://bbmmtoday.bbmmjv.com/_layouts/searchresults.aspx">
    <input type=text name=k placeholder="enter search..." size="32" id=k class="search"><input type="submit" value="search" class="button" >
        </form></td>
      </tr>
        <tr>

        <td>

&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>

Answer 1

There are three suspicious things in your HTML:

• element after the element with ending between
• and Unpair and
• Two elements in the end while only 1 opening

All these HTML errors mean that it's on browser how it is rendered. And mostly it's rendered "wrong". Because it's incorrect.
