I forgot to mention that I use the following theme :

I hope this helps,
Thank you very much for your support. 🙂
Script errors? But if you’re typing in table HTML, you aren’t running a script. Something else is happening if that’s the error you’re getting. Does your WordPress installation work correctly? Can you write a regular post, that is to say, one that isn’t HTML and that isn’t a gigantic table? Let’s just check and make sure your installation works, first.
So do you write the HTML for these huge tables as a new post? I’m not familiar with that theme, but is it set up to display content that wide, with no sidebar and such?
The installation went perfectly (I am working offline using EasyPHP 1.8.0.1) and I am fully able to post regular text posts (or pages).
Actually, this theme has a sidebar on the right and is not very wide.
But I noticed something now : When I click on one of these two buttons and then “Update”, the effect is the same : the (huge) table is displayed very well in the editor but when I click on Save or Publish, the same error message appears and then only the first line of the table appears on the post.
However, when I want to post a table like one of these on this page : http://www.speedcubing.com/events/2006/#USNationals2006
everything works properly (both copying the html code and the table directly on the page)
I am a bit lost in this problem.
Thanks for helping me 🙂
This issue doesn’t appear to be a WP or theme related issue. It sounds like you are using an exporter (EasyPHP) from your desktop to submit your posts remotely to your WP site.
You have indicated that if you post directly within the wp-admin area as a ‘page’ or ‘post’, that eveerything works fine so…
It could be that since the tables take up much more markup than a plain text post, the script (EasyPHP) may be failing – it may not be able to send that much data and may be timing out -or- perhaps you need to give it a longer amount of time to try to send it to your DB on the server.
Whereas posting the same large table directly in WP doesn’t require that data be sent from your remote location (Your Desktop)… so therefor the tables all show complete.
It’s probably a good idea to search google or the forums on the vendor site that you got EasyPHP from – and see what they can advise.

Thank you but I do not think that EasyPHP is the source of the problem.
I have tried the same operation (posting a large table) directly online using the same admin panel and it still blocks. (only showing the first line afterwards)
However, when I am posting smaller tables like this one :
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/v2-beta/?page_id=5
there is no problem.
As for now, I see 2 possibilities why I can’t post large tables :
– size limit : Is there a size limit of pages posted via wordpress ?
– timeout : How can I change the timeout limit ?
If you have any other idea, please let me know.
Thank you very much for your support. 🙂
Personally, first thing I’d do is disable the WYSIWYG editor before making HTML tables in my posts. Have you done that? (Users -> Your Profile, last option on the page).
Conversely, if you insist on fighting the WYSIWYG editor, I’d definitely go to Options -> Writing and uncheck “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”. In fact, you might want to do that regardless of which editor you’re using…
Oh thank you very much, this solved my problem.
I disabled the WYSIWYG editor which was the source of the problem since I had already unchecked the box for the XHTML correction.
Thanks again 🙂
