<fieldset>


<legend><b>$title</b><br>$hotimage</legend>


<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%" border="0">


  <tr>


    <td vAlign="top">


    <a href="modules.php?name=Search&query=&topic=$topic"><img src="$tipath$topicimage" border="0" Alt="$topictext" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10"></a> $content</td>


  </tr>


  <tr>


    <td vAlign="top" align="right"><br>


    <img alt src="themes/.../images/goldpointer.gif" align="middle" width="11" height="10">


    $morelink</td>


  </tr>


</table>


</fieldset>

What did I do wrong? It is working without the fieldset

Fieldset is for forms and there is no form element in your sample code.
For tables, you should use 'caption'.

Code:




<table style="border-spacing:0px; padding:0px; width:100%;">


<caption>$title</caption>


  <tr>


    <td style="vertical-align:top;">


    <a href="modules.php?name=Search&query=&topic=$topic"><img style="text-align:right;" src="$tipath$topicimage" alt="$topictext"></a> $content</td>


  </tr>


  <tr>


    ......

Hi Guardian

Shouldn't be this line

Code:

<a href="modules.php?name=Search&query=&topic=$topic"><img style="text-align:right;" src="$tipath$topicimage" alt="$topictext"></a> $content</td>

XHTML

Code:

<a href="modules.php?name=Search&amp;query=&amp;topic=$topic"><img style="text-align:right;" src="$tipath$topicimage" alt="$topictext" /></a> $content</td>

You are right unicornio. It also looks like the code is using double quotes within a double quoted string; without escaping them.. but hard to say 100% with the code provided. Couple of examples below, notice the escaped double quotes in the second example.

echo '<img src="' . $tipath . $topicimage . '" alt="' . $topictext . '" />';
echo "<img src=\"$tipath$topicimage\" alt=\"$topictext\" />";

@ Unicornico - my bad! Yes, that should have been an escaped ampersand, thanks for the catch.
If you using HTML, or xHTML you always need to use escaped ampersands. HTML5 is less fussy.
