Question

User-1651604128 posted

Hi, I am trying to enter the following codes to html table to simulate Move right or left button using Input field.

<td width="10px">

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

<input id="ShiftRight" type="button" value="> " class="btn btn-primary" />

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

<input id="ShiftRightAll" type="button" value=">>" class="btn btn-primary" />

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

<input id="ShiftLeft" type="button" value="<" class="btn btn-primary" />

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

<input id="ShiftLeftAll" type="button" value="<<" class="btn btn-primary" />

</td>

But whenever I insert these codes, I got "table tag not closed" compile time error.

I found that it seems the item such as value=">" causes that error.

Does anybody know how to fix this error? thanks a lot,

Use encoding.

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asphttps://www.w3schools.com/html/html_charset.asp

<input id="ShiftRight" type="button" value="&gt; " class="btn btn-primary" />

Or this approach using the ASCII value.

<input id="ShiftLeft" type="button" value="&#60; " class="btn btn-primary" />
