CSS - Nested Tables Problem
i have nested tables but table inside is inheriting properties from table outside. i have written classes for both tables in css and i dnt want inside table to inherit. what can i do?
Similar TutorialsI've found that nesting tables works very well for getting data aligned properly. I'm having serious trouble doing the same thing with css. For example, I can easily create a table with 2 col, 2 rows, then put another table in each box and do get things just the way I want. I can't figure out a way to do that with css. Is it possible? Should I even try? Thanks! I have a website full, and I mean FULL of nested tables. It was designed by my webguy before he had an understanding of CSS and div tags. I've decided to take on the seemingly monumental task of converting my site to CSS (mainly because I'm implementing Wordpress and I figure now is a good time to get current, clean, and tidy). I haven't found any good tutorials or sites that explain how to make the transition, or for that part, offer a good explanation of how to use CSS for positioning and site layout. I was hoping some of you guys might have some recommendations. Right now I have tables within tables within tables within tables next to tables within tables next to tables within more tables and more tables..... et cetera. And I'm of course trying to do this right away and in as little time as possible Thanks for any suggestions guys Hi, I'm working on this webpage http://www.dkwebconsultants.com/jaclo/subnav.php?SubGroupID=24 and it works fine in Mozilla. However, in IE there is a thin white space between the td that says "handshowers" in it and the blue above as well as the the left side of the page. The same thing for the slightly lighter td below it and the left side of the page. I've been reading and error checking all day, but i can't figure this one out. the php/html code is as follows: Code:
<table class="nicetable">
<?php include "header.html" ?> <!-- This is one table row, the table has two td's-->
<tr>
<td height="410">
<table class="nicesubnavtable">
<tr>
<td id="subnavtop">
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
<!--
myTest.writeMenuBar();
//-->
</script>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="subnavbottom">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM SubGroup WHERE GroupID = '$GroupID'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error()."<br />Couldn't execute query: $sql");
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<br>";
for($i=0; $i < $num_results; $i++){
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$tempSubGroupID = $row['SubGroupID'];
$tempName = stripslashes($row['Name']);
if($SubGroupID == $tempSubGroupID){
echo "<a id='snsgnamesblue' href='subnav.php?SubGroupID=$tempSubGroupID'>$tempName</a>";
}
else{
echo "<a id='snsgnames' href='subnav.php?SubGroupID=$tempSubGroupID'>$tempName</a>";
}
}
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td id="mainareanav">
<?php
$sql1 = "SELECT * FROM IndividualItem WHERE SubGroupID = '$SubGroupID'";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1) or die (mysql_error()."<br />Couldn't execute query: $sql");
$num_results1 = mysql_num_rows($result1);
for($i=0; $i < $num_results1; $i++){
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result1);
$tempItemID = $row['ItemID'];
$tempNickName = stripslashes($row['NickName']);
$filename = stripslashes($row['ThumbImageName']);
$filenamearray = explode('.', $filename);
$fnameNoExt = $filenamearray[0];
//print the nickname, if no nickname print the itemID
if($tempNickName == "") echo "<a id=\"itemnames\" href=\"product.php?itemID=$tempSubGroupID\" onMouseover=\"changeit('pic1','$fnameNoExt');\" onMouseout=\"changeit('pic1','image_off');\">$tempItemID</a> \n";
else echo "<a id=\"itemnames\" href=\"product.php?itemID=$tempSubGroupID\" onMouseover=\"changeit('pic1','$fnameNoExt');\" onMouseout=\"changeit('pic1','image_off');\">$tempNickName</a> \n";
}
//<td id="subnavright">
//<img src="images/thumb/blankthumb.jpg" id="thumb" name="pic1">
//</td>
?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php include "footer.html" ?> <!-- This is three table rows, public links, user links, search and contact-->

I'm using tables for the layout and css for the style. I've tried many variations on table layout and haven't come up with anything. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks, dk Hi, I have used bottom-border: 1 on my links and the problem I am having is making sure that these borders are not displayed on images which have <a "somelink"> </a> wrapped around them. I have used #content a > img { border: 0; } and this seems to have solved the problem however when I have an image link nested into a table the border reappears and I have tried everything to get it to remove it. If anyone else knows why it reappears when nested in tables please let me know how I can fix it. Regards, Graham Hey, I have parent table, with several nested tables within. I'm changing the CSS values on-the-fly using Javascript so I'm using id's instead of classes. The CSS of all the tables is generated using this code: Code:
/* mp_tip_CSS_x_TABLE CSS */
<?
for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) {
?>
#mp_tip_CSS_<? echo($i); ?>_table {
border-color: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_color[$i]); ?>;
border-style: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_style[$i]); ?>;
border-width: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_width[$i]."px"); ?>;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
#mp_tip_CSS_<? echo($i); ?>_table td {
border-color: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_color[$i]); ?>;
border-style: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_style[$i]); ?>;
border-width: <? echo($mp_tip_CSS_table_border_width[$i]."px"); ?>;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
<? } ?>
/* mp_tip_CSS_x_TABLE CSS END */
The parent table is mp_tip_CSS_1_table and the nested tables are mp_tip_CSS_2_table to mp_tip_CSS_12_table. The problem I'm getting is the nested tables seem to inherit the td border values of the parent table, so they have two borders instead of just the single one (the parent border and their own border). Is there any way to make the parent border td value only be applied to the immediate td's of the parent table, and not the td's of the nested tables as well? After browsing some web pages I came across using: Code:
#classname >tr >td {}
But that doesn't seem to work... Thanks for any help, -Ross hi everyone, My css code: table.test{ font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; CURSOR: default; border: 1px solid silver; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 3px; } table.aside{ font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; CURSOR: default; border: none; padding: 3px; } th.aside, tr.aside, td.aside{ font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; CURSOR: default; border: none; padding: 3px; } my nested tables, which overflows the width of the screen in ie 6 , but works on ie 7 and firefox. echo "<table class='aside' cellpadding='0px' cellspacing='0px' border='0'><tr><td width='80%' >$table1</td><td width='20%'>$table2</td></tr></table>"; Should I or should I not learn more about coding when I build my page using Dreamweaver anyways and it looks and functions fine. I am stuck wit the issue of doc types in my pages which has prevented me to make a center middle design page and had to remove the doc type code on all my websites so that the page content will end up at centre middle. The only solution I have been offered was to use CSS but I have so many old sites that converting the sites I have built to CSS would be too time consuming and not worth it. Anyone have any other better ideas? html: Code:

Hope the above scripts can be viewed easily. I just started using css, and for some reason I can't get this simple template to function in Mozilla Firefox. I don't know how nested divs behave, but it's really frustrating. The problem is that i have two main divs within one encompassing div. The encompassing div is supposed to expand in height based upon the height and/or position of the nested two divs, but it only expands based one of these nested divs. These nested divs have divs inside them too. This only happened in mozilla firefox. In IE it works. I'm not using floats or anything. I don't have it up on a site, but if necessary I'll post a pic of the rendering. Thanks in advance. I am Having a problem with IE6 and DIV's which use blocks to highlight links. The problem is I want to have different colour links. It seems to work OK in FF but not IE 6. Code:
.mainmenu a:link { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:visited { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }
.mainmenu a:active { color: #fff; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; background-color: #a62a2a; background-position: 180px 0; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; text-indent: 3px; vertical-align: middle; width: 180px; height: 24px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8aaaa; display: block; }

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I've been searching the web on how to fix this but haven't got anything yet. In IE, my nested div (class="BioContent") stays within the parent container (id="BioBox"), but does not in FF. Right now I am using width: 100%; I've tried defining the width in pixels, but if I get it to work in FF, then it isn't wide enough in IE. Any ideas?

I'm having a problem with a float property placing a nested div outside of a parent box. I've ran validation on both the XHTML/CSS. Both are coming up with no errors. Heres the DIV snippet: Code: <!-- Div snippet -->
<!-- start main -->
<div id="main">
<div class="mainbx">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<!-- content area -->
<div id="leftcol">
<pThis column ( leftcol ID ) is correctly placed.</p>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
<!-- Rounded corner dialog begins -->
<div class="dialog">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<div class="c">
<div class="s">
<!-- content area -->
<h1>This is an inline dialog.</h1>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div>
</div>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div> <!-- end mainbx -->
<div id="footer">footer text</div>
</div> <!-- end main -->
If I place a float property in the left or right col ID, the whole ID is placed outside of the mainbx class. For instance: Code: /* example w float */
#rightcol {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 35px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how it looks: http://b.imagehost.org/0176/inc_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! Now if I remove the float and add a position property: Code: #rightcol {
position:relative;
right:-320px;
top:-190px;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how the rightcol is placed: http://d.imagehost.org/0643/cor_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! It seems better, but if the black box is re-sized eventually it will end up outside mainbx class ( the purple box ). This leads me to belive that the problem has something to do with nesting. The weird thing is if I add lots of text to the black dialog box, mainbx re-sizes. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks for any help or ideas. So does anyone use div tags only and no tables at all? Not even for tabular data? My website (OPM) uses css for all the layout. Sometimes, when I load a new page within the website, the entire webpage appears nested within one of the layers. When I reload the page, this effect disappears right away or after a few reloads. It appears about 10% of the time and occurs in several different browsers (i.e. Firefox, IE). Nested webpage error URL Normal page URL I don't know why this is happening, especially since it's only part of time. Please help! Thank you, Misha Hi, I've a problem designing with CSS. This is the html code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="structure-yellow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="main"> <div id="headimage">test</div> <div id="greybar">test</div> </div> </center> </body> </html> And the attached css file is: Code:
div#main {
border: solid #000000 1px;
padding: 3px;
width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
#headimage {
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100px;
background: #FFFF00;
}
#greybar {
position: relative;
top: 3px;
background: #CCCCCC;
}
Since the headimage and the greybar are nested within the main div, the 3px padding of the "main" div should be respected, however it's not. What I think is happenning is that the 3px padding of the main div is respected for the expected greybar position, and it is not updated after setting the "#greybar" position property on the CSS file. How can I solve this problem? I know that I could achieve the same effect adding a 3px white bottom border on the "#headimage" class, but I'm looking for more elegant solution based on block positioning. Any ideas? Thanks, Caste I have set up a couple vertical boxes and filled them with 'column' boxes all nested within the parent vertical boxes. My problem is when, say, box #3 from the left has more content than the furthest left box, instead of stretching the parent to accommodate the content and push down the other parent horizontal box below, the content just flows behind the lower horizontal box. If the content in the furthest left box is the longest, this problem doesnt occur. The parent box is stretched to fit.

I've put them all in a container div. However, on some pages the menu bar is longer than the content and on others the content is longer than the menu bar. I want the menu bar and the content bar to always be equal heights but adjust to the length of content. Here's the gist of the code: Code:
#container {
text-align: left;
background:#000064;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 650;
height:100%;
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
}
#banner {
background: #fff;
width: 650;
}
#piclinks {
background: rgb(00,00,64);
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 650;
}
#links {
position: absolute;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-right: 1px dotted #fff;
width: 140px;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
color: #fff;
font-size: 8pt;
background: rgb(00,00,64);
}
#content {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 500;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
color: #fff;
padding: 5px;
}
I've looked at a few resources, including the 'PIE' site, but haven't been able to quite figure it out. Thanks Hi I've got a bit of a problem. I am making a website and what I want to do is create links with block background showing an image, which changes to just pink on a mouse over. what I did was make a div, give it classname menu_items and in that div put different hyperlinks. my code: Code: /* Menu picture caption */
.menu_items a { display: block; color: #FFF; background-color: #FF0066; text-decoration: none; padding: 5px; position: absolute; }
#menu_0910_dg000 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg000.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 0px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg000:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg601 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg601.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 150px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg601:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg200 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg200.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 300px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg200:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_elderly { background-image: url('img/0910_elderly.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 440px; top: 0px; left: 0px; font-size: 18pt; }
#menu_0910_elderly:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_demos { background-image: url('img/0910_demos.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 890px; top: 200px; left: 0px; font-size: 20pt; }
#menu_0910_demos:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
Code: <div class="menu_items"> <a id="menu_0910_dg000" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG000 Introducing Competency-Centred Learning </a> <a id="menu_0910_dg601" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG601 Digital Video</a> <a id="menu_0910_dg200" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG200 Creative Programming for Designers</a> <a id="menu_0910_elderly" href="0910_elderly.html">Project: Elderly Interacting with the Digi-world</a> <a id="menu_0910_demos" href="0910_elderly.html">External: Demos Bar Committee</a> </div> You can see that I first used the nested selector .menu_items a, but this doesn't work with hover, so .menu_items a:hover doesn't work. Why not and how to fix?:S gr Bram if you go he http://www.tvshow-caps.co.uk/showPics.php?showid=24&season=6&episode=1 you will see that the nested list do not expand but OVERLAP in IE. firefox displays is ok. EDIT1: i have fixed the nested list problem (i was using height property which IE doesnt like) second problem: now IE doesnt apply the border-bottom property properly (use the above link) I have the following CSS styles: Code:
#content p { font-size: 24px; }
.smalltext p { font-size: 12px; }
Then, I create a #content div in my HTML with three paragraphs in it. I want the middle paragraph to have the .smalltext class, like this: http://www.toprival.com/temp/css_question.gif With the CSS the way I have it, the font size (12px) of the .smalltext paragraph is ignored. But if I change the CSS so both selectors are IDs, or so both are classes (and update the HTML accordintly), it works. Why is that? |
