I have been using Carousel 2 successfully to animate tables of radio station links and logos at http://www.mbonline.co.uk/
To use new audio features from HTML 5 elsewhere I changed the site over from XHTML 1.0 Transitional and all seemed to work as planned except, for some reason, the size of the tables used for the carousel shrunk and the associated text disappeared - see MBonline | The Music Box online - home
I’m guessing I must have been using Carousel 2 incorrectly for this to happen. Other than stick with XHTML for the home page can anyone suggest where I have gone wrong and how to fix it?
… that’s what I saw as well. But the more interesting question is:
Why? Just by changing <!doctype>?
Usually, doctype doesn’t have any function except validation. It is telling validators what “rules” to check - nothing else. But we are using a software app. And we are using a software app which is taking care of us - creating valid pages (whatever we do) - and is doing a great job btw.
I never thought about this - and never had any (recognizable) issues with it. So does Freeway really break functions or properties? It would entirely be against the spirit of HTML5.

Not sure that it is FW specifically that is at fault.
I do see that the code for the Table has changed and the specific table cell width of 320px is not being declared. But why, I have no clue!
Could it be a FW bug - yes I suppose it could be but greater minds than mine would have to answer that.
I am sure a couple of lines of CSS would sort it but I reckon you are probably as well to leave that page as XHTML 1.0 Transitional mean time.
And I am pretty sure that the fault does not lie with the Carousel2 action.
Is styling of those tables done by action (Table Styler?). Could this be a reason? I’m not aware of HTML5 tables - honestly I’m not aware of tables at all.
Thanks for your (and DD’s) comments on this oddity. No actions were used to create the tables for the station logos and names - just a series of 960px x 396px tables with 18 cells.
I’m just going to stick with XHTML for now as it ‘just works’.
All the best
