CSS - Cells In Regular Columns And Rows -- Like Tables.
I'm mostly a PHP developer, & use CSS only intermittently, so forgive this hopefully simple problem:
I want to put a series of boxes(with fixed width, but not fixed height) inside a bigger box. The inner boxes should proceed from left to right, from the top left of the containing box. When the width of the containing/outer box is reached, the next inner box should start the next row at the left inner border of the containing box, below the tallest of the boxes in the first row, and begin the second row. No different from ordinary text, where letters are like the inner boxes. If I set float: left; for the inner boxes, this works fine if all the boxes are the same height. However, if the last inner box in the row is shorter than the previous box, the next box that should start the next row at the far left will be placed immediately under the last box in the first row, then the second row will be started after that, under that. One point: these inner blocks will be generated by php, and only the data will be different between them; otherwise, they should all have the same style attributes. I can easily get around this using a table layout, but I'd rather not. I'm sure the solution is quite simple; much more simple than my explanation. To illustrate the problem, I attach some code below -- you can just copy it & paste it into an empty tst.html file and go. Thanks for any help on this seemingly simple problem.

Similar TutorialsUPDATED! - please see my post below Hi all, A bit of a newbie to CSS. I understand the syntax, and some basics. I've run into an issue where I need to render tabular data (from coldfusion) as columns rather than rows. That is to say - the data coming from CF is sorted to be written out one column at a time, rather than one row at a time, and still be lnied up correctly. Is there an easy way to set this up using CSS? I even have rowspan info, just not sure how to implement this. All I want is a simple table, but aren't we supposed to steer away from <table>, <tr>, etc, and use CSS? If so, how can I accomplish: <--------200px-------><--------200px--------><---100px ---> if the text is too long it should just wrap and create a taller row. Hi guys! I am looking for the sort of solution ive listed below but i've played about using the <li> tags and cannot seem to pull it off. The sort of information I work with if I was to use this on a live role out would be rows of information with columns which is often alot of code and takes ages to load up hence I thought I would look into the CSS. I cannot seem however to produce something which would for eg be about 5 columns across and 10 rows down just for testing. I like to alter the row styles so that they can be distinguished easier as do many sites. Often for my information there are about 50 rows and that adds up to alot of download time which I would like to bring down. Anybody got any eg's or is it not possible? I am struggling with this one. Thanks in advance. I'm working on generating a TOC with PHP pulling info from my DB. What I want to figure out is if there is a way to do columns with CSS without using a table? I read about the <multicol> tag that isn't supported ... it would have been perfect for my needs. The reason I was looking for something other than a table, is because I have a list of dates that look like this: 1859 2000 1959 2001 1999 2003 If I use the PHP script then it looks like this: 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 I don't want the change to cause too much confusion amongst our inexperienced users. Any suggestions other than tables? ok...This is driving me slightly bonkers. I'm trying to do forms without tables. The issue is, I need a description sometimes, and I'd like to have multiple descriptions line up properly, as if they were in a table. Here's the stylesheet: Code:
/*
CSS Style sheet for BES OOP Forms
*/
.Form fieldset
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 0px;
margin: 0;
padding: .5em;
}
.Form > fieldset
{
border: 1px solid #009;
}
.Form legend
{
background: #BBB;
border: #009 solid 1px;
padding: 2px 10px;
font-weight: bolder;
margin:0;
}
.Form .Form_Row
{
border-bottom: 1px dotted #009;
margin: 0;
padding: .25em;
clear: left;
}
.Form .Form_Footer
{
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #009;
margin: -1px 0 0;
background-color: #EEE;
clear: left;
}
.Form label
{
width: 13em;
display: block;
float: left;
}
.Form .Form_Input
{
display: block;
float: left;
width: 20em;
}
.Form .Form_Desc
{
display: block;
float: left;
}
The issue is one of flexibility: as you can see in the attached images, it works fine as long as the .Form_Input is narrower than the 20em allotted. However, when the .Form_Input is wider than that, the description is placed over the end of the input itself, which stinks. IE does it "right", sorta, and just bumps the description over further than it really should. Any ideas? display:table, etc are out, because that doesn't work at all in IE. min-width solves the problem for Mozilla and company, but is ignored completely by IE. I really want to do this without tables...but damn. MPEDrummer I am trying to layout some content into rows using DIVs. It works fine until I get to the row of 'cells'. If I don't set the height of the container div ("transaction"), it doesn't show the white background. If I make the background of the inner DIVs white, it looks blocky (not solid white bg). I tried float options but that didn't seem to help. Any thoughts? Code:

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg hello, I'm trying to create my first site in CSS and I'm having trouble with a simple task after tackling so many challenges. Basically I want a row with three cells ______ |_|_|_| and the text inside to be lined left, middle and right, respectively. This is what I was trying, next I'm going to position them absolutely. But figured I would ask for a better way. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code #greyrow { width:452px; background-color: #EEECE7; padding: 4px 4px 4px 10px; } #leftgrey { display: inline; width: 150px; } #midgrey { display: inline; width: 152px; text-align: middle; } #rightgrey { display: inline; width: 150px; } <div id='greyrow'> <div id='leftgrey'> left </div> <div id='midgrey'> middle </div> <div id='rightgrey'> right </div> </div>
thanks for any help. webg Hello, I have question regarding proper use of CSS, so I can get web site layout to display properly in both IE and Firefox. At the moment it's laid out properly in FF, but I have some problems with IE. The cells of a table "deform" while browsing in IE. This is how it looks like: URL http://i38.tinypic.com/5ffe6q.gif Here is html of the cells in question: Code: <table class="cHs" width="1000" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="pic/topcenter.jpg"> <tr> <td colspan="3" class="cHs" width="1000" height="145"><img src="pic/logo.jpg" border="0"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cHs" background="pic/left.jpg" width="47" valign=top></td> <td class="cHs" align=center width="906" background="pic/backcen.gif" class=interior valign=top> <td class="cHs" background="pic/right.jpg" width="47"></td></tr><tr><th align="left" valign="top" scope="row" height=\"37\" background="pic/bottom1.gif"></th><td class="cHs" height="37" width="906" background="pic/bottom2.gif" align="center" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> Here is used CSS: Code:
table.cHs{ background: transparent;
border: none;
}
td.cHs { border: none;
}
Does anybody see a problem? Thanks in advance. Here is what I am trying to do: <table> <tr> <td>left cell</td> <td>right cell</td> </tr> </table> I want to have the code so that the left cell is read first by the search engines followed by the right cell but I want the css to reverse the cells so that the right cell is shown first followed by the left cell. I have done this in IE by assigning the table element to position: relative and then using relative positioning to scoot the right cell to the left and the left cell to the right but this does not work in FF. I am using different stylesheets for different browsers so I dont need a solution that is cross browser compatible, just a solution that will work in standards compliant browsers like FF. Thanks for your help. If you click on start and search a new windows opens, you should be able to see Name, In Folder, Size etc. I am looking to style the <td> cells in a table to look like that. i.e. same colours, lines and hover over effects. I dont think it will be impossible, but for the life of me I cant match the colour. Does anyone know what the colour is exactly, or has anyone seen an example of this style elsewhere so I dont have to waste time designing it. with border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; in css i got border only around the table I want the border to surround every cell of the table as it is with <table border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" > how? Ok, so I'm making a website using tables and css since I personally hate using <div>. Anyway, it's going fine except for one problem. There is air between my cells. I wanted to show a SS of it, but apparantly I'm not allowed to post either links to the picture nor attach pictures to my thread, so I'll try to explain it. Now, the html code for the tables looks like this: Quote: <table class="center"> <tr> <td class="top"> <img src="img/top.jpg" alt="top" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="horizontal"></td> </tr> </table> The is air between my two cells here. My horizontal border wont connect to my top cell containing the top.jpg. The CSS code for trying to make the cells connect looks like this: Quote: table.center { width: 590px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-spacing: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; } tr, th { padding: 0px; } td.horizontal { width: 590px; height: 2px; background: #28847F; padding: 0px; } td.top { width: 590px; height: 91px; padding: 0px; } How come the two freakin' cells wont connect? Hi, I need to apply a border on the bottom of an empty cell, but since IE6 does not support the empty-cells property, the border appears only on tiny part of the cell. Is there a workaround? I have already tried placing inside the cell but it doesn't work that way either. I am displaying data from mySQL in a table. I am having a problem controlling the width of the columns. I am trying to replace code like this: <td width="100px><?php echo $row_rsList['taskpriority']; ?></td> with a css style <td id='pcol' ><?php echo $row_rsList['taskpriority']; ?></td> where td.pcol { width: 100; } But when I display the table it seems to disregard the width setting. The only other table formatting I ahve done so far is this: table { margin:0; padding:0; } table th { vertical-align: baseline; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps; background: #CCCCCC; text-align: left; } Thoughts? My Goal: using an onmouseover, highlight the mouse-overed table cell red and highlight another table cell green. Code:
<head><style type='text/css'>
.cell1 { background-color: #cccccc; }
.cell1_over { background-color: #ff3366; }
#other_cell { background-color: #cccccc; }
</style></head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td class='cell1' onmouseover='this.className="cell1_over";' onmouseout='this.className="cell1";'>words</td>
<td id='other_cell'>more words</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
OK - the above code will change the first cell from grey to red no problem. What I want is to not only make the first cell grey but also the other cell turn green under the same onmouseover. How might I go about this? Thanks in advance! Hi, I have the following code which is for a table. Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="A"></a>A</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="B"></a>B</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="C"></a>C</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="D"></a>D</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="E"></a>E</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="F"></a>F</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="G"></a>G</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="H"></a>H</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="I"></a>I</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="J"></a>J</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="K"></a>K</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="L"></a>L</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="M"></a>M</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="N"></a>N</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="O"></a>O</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="P"></a>P</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="Q"></a>Q</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> What I want to do is to have a black 1px border around the cells with the letters in, in A, B, C , D etc etc. I am hoping it is a CSS thing, but I only want it to apply to this table, not all the other tables on the page. Anyone know the easiest way to do this? Thanks is there a problem with placing div tags inside table cells. I have a need to do this and it works fine on my FF3 and IE7 but i am told this is bad practice. is there a problem and/or workaround to using div tags inside a table cell Is it not possible to do the following? What is the correct way of aligning a cell if not? PHP Code: TD.theader { background-color: #D0D0D0; border: 1px solid #000000; padding:5px; horizontal-align: right; } i have a table with several header columns: Code: <table> <tr><th>header 1</th><th>header 2</th><th>header 3</th></tr> <tr><td colspan=3>empty info</td></tr> </table> now i want to put a border inbetween the cells, to do this i simply used: Code:
table th {
border-left:1px solid black;
}
except this adds a border to the left hand side of the far left cell, making the table border of 1px actually 2px if i give that end cell an id can it be ignored when applying the left border? or would i have to add the lines: Code:
table th#idname {
border-left:0px;
}
