CSS - Issue With Tables, Table Cell Borders And No Data In Cell
I have a table that is populated using Spry. For some of the users, the table is showing its' borders in white when there is no data in the cell and for other users (like me) it's showing its' borders in black like expected. This is occurring in IE8 for the user. I have IE8 as well.
Here is a setup of my table Code: <div id="Content"> <p class='instructions'>Click a column header to sort the table.</p> <div spry:region="jdmba"> <div spry:state="loading" class="loading">Please wait while alumni data loads…</div> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th scope="col" width="108px" class="sortable" spry:sort="last" id="last">Last Name</th> <th scope="col" width="106px" class="sortable" spry:sort="first" id="first">First Name</th> <th scope="col" width="269px" class="sortable" spry:sort="account" id="account">Company</th> <th scope="col" width="66px" class="sortable" spry:sort="state" id="state">State</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hls_year" id="hls_year">JD</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hbs_year" id="hbs_year">MBA</th> </tr> </table> <div class="Overload"> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr spry:repeat="jdmba" spry:setrow="jdmba" spry:odd="odd" spry:even="even" spry:hover="hover" > <td width="108px">{last}</td> <td width="106px">{first}</td> <td width="269px">{account}</td> <td width="66px">{state}</td> <td width="82px">{hls_year}</td> <td width="82px">{hbs_year}</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> Here is my CSS file Code: a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #News a:link { color: #00F; } #News a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } body { background: #000 repeat; } #wrap { background: #000; width: 900px; border: thick solid #9C0029; float: left; height: auto; padding: 0px 0px 1em; margin-top: 2%; margin-left: 10%; } #footer { font: bold small/50px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFF; background: #9C0029; text-align: center; height: 50px; width: 850px; margin-left: 25px; } #Header { background: #8F001C url(../images/banner.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 850px; height: 150px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 25px; } h1 { font: normal 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000; text-align: left; } h2 { font: small Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333; text-align: justify; } h3 { font: normal medium "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FFF; } h4 { font-size: small; color: #333; text-align: left; } .banners { background: #FFF0B2; width: auto; height: auto; font: 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .5em; text-indent: 10px; } .Content { font: 14px/normal Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-align: justify; display: block; padding: 2em 3em 3em; } .Content a:link { color: #00F; } .Content a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } .Content a:visited { color: #00F; } #inner_body { background: #FFF; height: auto; width: 800px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 50px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: .5em; } #inner_border { margin: 0em auto auto; border: thin solid #8E887C; width: 775px; padding: 1em 0em 0em; } #nav_bar { height: 3em; width: 100%; margin-left: 0%; text-align: center; } #Content { height: auto; width: 95%; padding: 0em 0% 5em; margin: 2.5% 2.55% 2%; text-align: left; font-family: Verdana; } #nav { height: auto; width: 20em; } #News { margin-left: 2px; height: 30%; background: #FFF0B2; padding: 3%; } #News a:visited { color: #00F; } .Overload { height: 208px; overflow: auto; } .odd { background-color: #E8E8E8; } .even { background-color: #E8E8E8;} .hover { background-color: #FFC;} table.spry { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; } .instructions { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom:8px; } .loading { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8px; color:#900; } table.spry th { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry td { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry th.sortable:hover { cursor: pointer; } table.spry th.sortable { text-align:left; color:#FFFFFF; background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/bg.gif) no-repeat 95% 6px; } table.spry th.ascending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarUpHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } table.spry th.descending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } I'm only placing borders on the left and bottom so that in my detail cells the borders aren't doubled up. So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. Any ideas? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, I have a HTML page linking to a CSS file in the header. My main table is defined using class="formBody". This includes: Code: table.formBody td { border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; border-style: solid solid solid solid; border-color: black black black black; background-color: white; -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } I need to override this on certain cells, so that a SINGLE certain cell will not have any borders (these will be cells on the bottom row, so the table will have the appearance of having half of its' actual width on the bottom row). Any ideas? I tried explicitly setting border="0" in the <td> tag and also defining a new class called "noborder" with border set to none, and then using <td class="noborder"> but neither of these work. essentially, what I want, is a table that looks like: Code: ________________________ | | | | ------------------------ |________| Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm having some problems with CSS. If you look at the pictures below, the first is a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like. It's how it looks in most browsers. The second one, however, is how it looks in IE 6 on Windows and IE 5 on the Mac. It is wrong. Correct look Incorrect look I want to know how to fix this. The little colored boxes are supposed to be squares and have solid borders on them. The shape is off and the borders are missing on the IE version. Also, on the progress bar, there is not supposed to be space between the cells but there is. There is also space between every cell on the page and there is not supposed to be any. Here is my main CSS: Code: body { background-color: #FFFFFF; } a { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } a:link { color: #003366; background-color: transparent; } a:visited { color: #003300; background-color: transparent; } a:active { color: #339933; background-color: transparent; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } table { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;} td, th { border: 0px solid black; padding: 5px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; } tr.one { background-color: #FFFFFF; } tr.two { background-color: #DDDDDD; } table.squares { border: 0px; border-spacing: 1px; width: 50px; height: 10px; } td.square { border: 1px solid grey; padding: 4px; } td.nopadding { padding: 0px; } .default { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; } .h1 { font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;} .h2 { font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; } .h3 { font-weight: bold; } .step { font-size: 150%; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; } Here is one of the sets of squares: Code: <table class="squares"> <tr> <td class="square" style="background-color: #CCCC66"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #CC9966"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #990000; border: black"><td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #669966"></td> <td class="square" style="background-color: #669999"></td> </tr> </table> And finally, here is one of my progress bars: Code: <table style="color: white; width: 100px"> <tr> <td style="padding:0px; text-align: right; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#222244; width:41px"></td> <td style="padding:0px; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px; background-color:#666666; width:59px">40.7%</td> </tr> </table> And in case that code is not enough, here is a link to the full HTML. According to this CSS test my CSS is not wrong. So does IE just suck? Is there something I can do to make it work in all browsers? My last question is, should I be using div tags for my boxes and progress bars instead of tables? I couldn't figure out how to make them work with divs so I just went with what I knew. Could someone give me an example of each using divs so I can learn how to make it work? Hi there! This might seem really basic but I don't seem to be able to remove the default border from a cell I created. The code looks like this: "<p> </p> <table align="center" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 475px; width: 700px; border-style: hidden;"> <p align="center"> <img height="457" width="600" src="images/stories/vlkommen3.jpg" alt="vlkommen3" style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> How shall I do to hide the border? Thanks in advance! /Kristoffer How do i apply visible and formated border to a certain cells without afecting the entire column or row? Im using the border properties like: border-buttom-style border-top-style border-left-style border-right-style border-width border-color etc, etc, but when apply the style the colum or the row is affected entirely, this makes my top sliced image (header) with the separators visible. Im new to css and need some help in doing this. Thx I'm working on some sortable data tables. I have designed the CSS so the columns look raised and the cells are outlined. The problem is that empty table cells are not outlined in IE. I can fix this by doing a border-collapse, but then I lose the raised look of the headings. I can also fix this by adding a non-breaking space in the individual cells, but the developers tell me that they don't want to add the code to check whether there is data or not and then fill the empty cell with a non-breaking space. So, I'm hoping there's some CSS trick I can use to force IE to outline the empty table cells. Anyone know of any? The attachment shows the look with the empty cells. currently i have links defined as a certain color and changes to a certain color when i hover over them.. i have a table which has these links inside the cells and when i hover over the cell, the background of the cell changes color but the link wont change color until i hover over the link.. is there anyway so that when i hover over the cell i can make the link change color too? the problem is i have some padding for the cells, so once i go inside the cell but dont hover exactly over the link, the background will change but the link won't until i hover over it thanks Hello, I am trying to get two images aligned inside a table cell as a top and bottom background element. I know with CSS you can't have two background elements, so I was playing with relative and absolute positioning. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, as the positioning wouldn't refer to the diameter of the cell. I have an image demonstrating what I am looking for. The shaded area represents the two images (a bottom and top quote) that I want to align to the top and bottom. I can't simply make this a single image since the information on the left will be different heights. I also noted the table layout in the lower example if there are any questions in that regard. http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css_question.png Thanks so much! Hello, I need to place an image in the bottom right-hand corner of a table cell. How would I do this using CSS, keeping in mind that text and other goodies are already present in the cell? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks. Hello, I have a table and I am styling its cells: table.Grid td {background-color: red;} Inside this table I will have some other tables but I don't want their cells to have the styles changed. I see two options: give a class to Grid table cells: table.Grid td.Grid {background-color: red;} Reset the changes in child tables: table.Child1 td, table.Child2 td, table.Child3 td {background-color: white;} But can I apply the following style: table.Grid td {background-color: red;} And make it only for the cells inside that table but not inside the child tables in this code line? ... without needing to reset the styles on child table cells or give main cells a class ... Thanks, Miguel Hi. I've got a question regarding placing an image within a table cell and using CSS to achieve a certain result. The table cell's width is determined at 530px, but the height is dependent on the actual length of the copy. What I'm looking to accomplish is have an image ghosted in the background of the text. It is supposed to appear in the lower right hand corner of the cell. I've already created the image with a transparent background, but it's not implementing correctly. Can I use a Z-Index style to achieve the item being placed under the text? Also, how do I make sure that the image is positioned in the lower right hand corner of the cell regardless of the height of the cell? Thanks! Simon315 hi all, i'm trying to make a vertical menu using CSS2 and XHTML. the problem i'm facing is that i need a DIV inside a table cell, which should take 100% width and height, and inside this DIV i will place arbitrary contents that scrolls if they overflows. This is the code i have written so far: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> TestMenu </title> <style type="text/css"> BODY, HTML { height: 100%; margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } .menuContainer { background-color: red; width: 300px; height: 100%; border-spacing: 0px; } .menuItem { background-color: green; } .menuItemOpen { background-color: yellow; } .menuItemContents { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top; } .menuItemContainer { height: 100%; width: 100%; border-spacing: 0px; } .menuTitle { background-color: blue; color: white; height: 20px; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .menuContents { padding: 0px; } .menuInnerContents { background-color: orange; overflow: auto; height: 100%; width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="menuContainer"> <tr class="menuItemOpen"> <td class="menuItemContents"><table class="menuItemContainer"> <tr> <td class="menuTitle">Item 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="menuContents"><div class="menuInnerContents"><div>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/>This are the contents<br/> of this menu.<br/></div></div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr class="menuItem"> <td class="menuTitle">Item 2</td> </tr> <tr class="menuItem"> <td class="menuTitle">Item 3</td> </tr> <tr class="menuItem"> <td class="menuTitle">Item 4</td> </tr> <tr class="menuItem"> <td class="menuTitle">Item 5</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> as you can see the "menuInnerContents" DIV isn't taking all the space available and the text inside it doesn't overflow. Help me please! hi all... i have a table cell "td" with 3 divs in it. what i need is to get it to align the top div to the top, middle div to the middle and 3'ed div to the bottom... this is all fine but i cant get to do that, and the auto increase height on the middle one dont work ? btw: this is for the IE style sheet, mozilla(firefox) works great.... frank/ hi, and thank for the help in advance. i was wondering if it is possible to make a table cell's top border different thickness versus the sides and the bottom. Check out the following code. Notice how the dark blue cell has one thin layer peeping through right inside the black border of the outer table? I can't figure out why. What this should look like is a black border, followed by a border of 3 white thickness all around the light blue cells, as well as between the light blue cells. Fixing this peeping cell in a way in which it is sucked out is fine - but if you have a better solution as to how to make the white spacing 3 around the cells AND the table, with a black border, I will accept. Thanks Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .table1 { border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; background-color: #FF0000; } .table2 { border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #FF0000; border-collapse: collapse; width: 300px; } .cell1 { background-color: #0099ff; border: 0px border-style: solid; } .cell2 { border: 3px; border-style: solid; border-color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #95caff; width: 300px; height: 100px; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="table1"> <tr> <td class="cell1"> <table class="table2"> <tr> <td class="cell2"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cell2"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Alright, this is probably a simple fix but I can not find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to highlight a table cell with a 2px solid red border when it is clicked. Is there a way to get this to happen with out changing the size of the cell? I hope this makes sense. Basically the cell is expanding by 1 px causing movement in the table. Hello, i am creating a dynamic content php page. I start with a photoshop image and create slices and have it output the HTML and CSS table. The problem i am having is that the center cell where the content should go does not expand when the the text goes out of its bound. Is there a way i can do this?

Thanks for the help Hey all, I'm working with a table in which the top row serves as column headers. Each column header can have a label-link as well as two graphics representing options for selecting an ascending or descending sort. The images are done through CSS so to allow use of :hover for mouse-over image swapping. My problem is that I can't figure out a combination of CSS to make it so that, should a person's resolution be too low or should they narrow their browser window to the point where it attempts to reduce column width, that the text and images remain side-by-side. A sample of the problem can be found he http://www.weblifenetwork.net/sample.html In this sample the first cell has a small, secondary table within it for the purpose of demonstrating the behavior I'm after. The second cell is kind of my current test cell (and the closest I've gotten to the correct behavior as of this post), and all other cells are using the same problematic CSS. As you enlarge/reduce the width of your browser, you should notice this behavior: First Cell: No wrapping. No display anomalies. Second Cell: Unwanted wrapping. No display anomalies. Other Cells: No wrapping. Images begin flowing over text. Text extends into neighboring cell. Any help in duplicating the behavior of the first cell using only CSS would be greatly appreciated. I've spent over a day in a CSS IRC channel to no avail. I am not sure the best way to colour half a table cell? Basically we have a booking system with a table that shows booked days. On the date a booking starts I want to make the right half of the table cell (actually I would prefer to use a triangle on the top right - a diagonal half) the correct colour, and the same principle applies to a departure date. I was going to just use two 50% divs for the left/right split. But the diagonal split is a bit trickier. Should I just use 2 100% height/width divs and apply a different graphic to each? Hi, I am very new to CSS and was wondering if there is a way to angle text in a <TD></TD> cell of a table? My problem is that along the top of my table I have to list the times e.g. 12:00:00, 12:15:00, to 23:45:00. This makes the width of my table much bigger. I was wondering if its possible to angle the text so it stands ons its head - so to speak - that way the column width would be much smaller? Thanks in advance j Hi all. I have a script that draws a calendar. I would like to be able to position the day number in the upper right of each table cell using CSS. Note, each cell will also have an embedded table or just text showing events for that day, so I don't mind if the day number overlaps that table. Ive tried doing something like this: PHP Code: td.dayNumJK { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; position: absolute; top: 1px; right: 1px; } But it seems to ignore the style. I've tried all the possible position attribute values (static, absolute, relative, fixed) but it doesnt seem to work. Maybe this is not possible with CSS? Any ideas how I can accomplish this? |
