CSS - Display 2 Tables On 1 Line
I want to display two tables on one line keeping the width of the table. In the past whenever I've wanted two things on the same line I've always floated one left and the other right. I've tried doing this here but the tables have a width of 45% and when they get floated its as if thats ignored. Heres a picture to better explain the situation.
http://i52.tinypic.com/2ry1vur.jpg Thanks in advance for all your help. Similar Tutorialshi- i'm trying to NOT to use a table to layout my web page but it is difficult to get two divs side by side without one! for example... here is a very simplified page of something i'm working on: http://phil.quietthenloud.net/csstest/test.html everything enclosed in the 1px blue border is the menu. everything enclosed in the 1px red border is the content. both sections are divs that i can't seem to get side by side without using a table as you can see in the html. i tried using "display:inline;" on both sections and that doesn't even come close. it shrinks the div down to the minimum possible. any ideas? thanks in advance!!!

The one place I still use a table for layout is in the top navigation bar, which includes a search form. I would like to eliminate the table and use CSS for styling the top navigation bar, but am not sure how. I want the pages to hold up in IE 5.0+, Mozilla, Netscape 6+, Firefox and Safari and to be tolerable in Mac IE 5.x - a tall order but manageable I think. Can this be done? Am I stuck with a layout table here? Any help is appreciated. You can see an example web page at: http://www.cambridgema.gov/~CDD/ The HTML is in the attached file. source: bluewebpages.com/photography/album3/1 i need help setting the thumbnails which have a block display to line up on the same line. i'm using a program called photostack, which is a light-weight photoblog system. when it spits out the code, how would i center the main div containg all thumbnails? i've tried text-align, negative margins(which worked except that the main photo would display ontop of them because the negative margins involved abs positioning) mainly if someone could point me in the right direction on getting block elements on the same line then i'd be set. i can resolve the later issue. thanks, amory EDIT FIXED - need a float: left; Hello, I've been having trouble with a simple design I have been creating. I was wanting the footer text to display in a straight line, but it's displaying horizontally. Could you please look at my HTML and CSS coding and see if I had made an error: Code: www.wendyhenrichs.com/huy Thanks! ftp://cs-helpdesk.student.framingham.edu/FSCWeb/63108AS06/cwestermann/scenicroute/music.htm thats my page. it displays right in IE, however FF is giving me problems. Anyone know how I can fix it. Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side. So I tried this CSS value : table { display : inline; } then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work... Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks Greetings, I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help! li { list-style-type: none; background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left; padding: 0 0 0 10px; } Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks! I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

So I've started trying to do the same, here is an example. But obviously here, the buttons are not displaying inline. All of the styles are within the page code itself. I've got a display: inline style on the li tag, but it's still not working? How can I get this to work or is there any other way to get a ul li menu to display this way? Could someone enlighten me why the page in the following URL functions perfectly in both IE6 and FF and yet, I seem to be totally unable to get the darn thing working locally? I am trying to avoid JavaScript and this looked like a very clean way of hiding and revealing menu items. I don't speak Japanese so I don't understand the text on the page either. http://www.amy.hi-ho.ne.jp/staka/hp/dhtm/s_disp.htm Hi! Is is vicious to display a table as "display: block" to force margin-collapsing? Otherwise there's no margin collapsing with other elements. Thanks Thanks for taking the time to read my question I have a row of pictures as nav links, and under them I want to put a row of text stating what each link is Picture Picture Picture Picture Text Text Text Text Each pic is 52px wide, so I made the containers for the text 52px wide. both have left and right margins of 10px (I made the .NavText margin 11 to compensate for the 1px border) yet they don't line up!! What am I missing?

Is this a good thing to use? Hi all, How to go to next line if the width of the content is more than specified width? Thanx/Chandar Hello, At my blog test site You'll notice the Quote: << Hello World! | Gettin' Closer >> text in the middle. Just as you see it above, I'd like that all on one line, but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Driving me nuts. Anyone? The CSS code controlling that is Code: .alignright { text-align: center; display: inline; } .alignleft { text-align: center; display: inline; } Thanks! Chris i have a series of divs that look like this Code: <div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> <div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> Each of the inner divs use the float attribute but when it comes to the second outer div it doesnt automatically go onto the next line it sort of continues from where the last div left off. Why is this... |
