CSS - Hiding Table Cell Border While Using Image Overlay
I have a web page shell that loads various content into different cells. The entire page is essentially a table. I have 4 graphic overlays that I want to impose on each cell to round the corners. I've tried doing it this way:
CSS: Code: .LeftPanelTable { WIDTH: 182px; border-style: none } .LeftPanelCell { WIDTH: 160px; vertical-align: Top; border-style: none } .ActionOptionsPanel { background-color: #DDDDDD; color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; border-style: none} #soft_corner_ul { background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif") no-repeat top left} #soft_corner_ur { background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ur.gif") no-repeat top right} #soft_corner_ll { background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ll.gif") no-repeat bottom left} #soft_corner_lr { background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_lr.gif") no-repeat bottom right} HTML: Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable"> <tr> <td class="ActionOptionsPanel"> <div id="soft_corner_ul"><div id="soft_corner_ur"><div id="soft_corner_ll"><div id="soft_corner_lr"> This is the table cell content </div></div></div></div> </td> </tr> </table> However, I still see a faint border around the cell, which spoils the effect of the rounded corners. If I change it like this: Code: .ActionOptionsPanel { background-color: #DDDDDD; background-image:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom right; color: #000000; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; border-style: none} Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable"> <tr> <td class="ActionOptionsPanel"> This is the table cell content </td> </tr> </table> then the border doesn't appear, but I don't know any way to do this with more than one image. Suggestions? Thanks... Similar TutorialsHere's something strange. I'm seeing a problem in IE on Windows. I've built a progress bar using vbscript and css, but the table doesn't quite display the way I want it to. Here's demo code: Code: <html> <body bgcolor="dddddd"> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #000" width="100"> <tr><td id="pct_complete" width="50" bgcolor="black"> </td><td id="pct_remain" width="*" bgcolor="blue"> </td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html> Now I've set the border to collapse, but if you load it up, you'll notice a white line between the two. I think it may be the way ie adds a 3d appearance to the table, but I can't figure out how to overcome it. Any ideas? Thanks! 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 I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px} TD {border: 1px solid #ccc} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? 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. Can anyone help me out with the following... I'm trying to create a table that, upon hovering a single cell, will increase the border thickness of that one cell, without increasing the thickness of other cells' borders in the same row/column. So far, my attempts have resulted in other table cells also getting increased border thickness, which makes the whole table move. Is there a way to achieve this for just the one cell? Adding border thickness just on the inside of the cell? Many thanks in advance! ZephSev Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers...

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 I have an image I want to display in a <td> cell, that scales with the cell dimensions. How do I do that? my goodness what a popular site this seems to be. im just a n00b in css and xhtml right now, but hopefully not for long. im trying to use a table to arrange the images in my website introduction page. im trying to make the page look exactly the same no matter the browser window size. im trying to float the two images that have the names programmingimg.gif and programmingtext.gif, but they are not floating to the right, they are just staying adjacent to the other image in the same cell. one other problem that i am having is, that the only way for me to stretch the background gif across the window size it to fake a background. its just the first image in the file with a z index of -1. this works in FIREFOX but not in IE. in IE, nothing can be seen except the background image. does anyone have a solution to either of these 2 problems? css: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Patrick Allard's Very Graphic Website</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" /> </head> <body> <img src="backgroundfire2.gif" alt="background image" id="bg" /> <table border="1" class="introlayout"> <tr> <td class="introtitle"> <img src="titlemaxfontgreyredfire.gif" alt="background image" id="titleimg" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="skillpics"> <img src="analogskillspic.jpg" alt="background image" id="analogskillsimg" /> <img src="programmingpic.jpg" alt="background image" id="programmingimg" /> </td> </tr> <td class="skilltext"> <img src="analogskillsmaxfontblackbluefire.gif" alt="background image" id="analogskillstext" /> <img src="programmingmaxfontblackbluefire.gif" alt="background image" id="programmingtext" /> </td> </tr> <td class="menu"> <img src="mainmenumaxfontblackbluefire.gif" alt="background image" id="mainmenuimg" /> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> html: Code: html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } img#bg { position:fixed; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:-1; } img#titleimg { width:100%; } img#mainmenuimg { text-align:center; width:30%; } img#analogskillsimg { width:40%; height:60%; } img#programmingimg { float:right vertical-align:bottom; width:40%; height:60%; } img#analogskillstext { vertical-align:bottom; width:40%; } img#programmingtext { float:right width:40%; } table.introlayout { width:100%; height:100%; } td.introtitle { width:100%; height:10%; } td.skillpics { vertical-align:bottom; width:100%; height:70%; } td.skilltext { vertical-align:top; width:100%; height:10%; } td.menu { text-align:center; width:100%; height:10%; } Hi everyone, I have a problem I'm trying to overcome with displaying an image next to the text in a table cell. I've set the table cell to valign=middle and this achieves the layout I want (hopefully this demonstration will look right..) Code: PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE The text goes here PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE So the text and the picture are laid out along the middle of the cell. However as soon as the text gets too big for the cell (or the cell gets smaller) this happens: Code: PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE The text goes here, but when it's longer PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE the remainder comes here I knew this to be because the img is still an inline element in the cell. I tried to solve the problem by making the img float:left, but the following happens, even if the valign=middle property is set in the cell: Code: PICTUREHERE The text goes here, but when it's longer PICTUREHERE the remainder comes here PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE Is it possible to achieve the top layout. If it is can someone help me please (it's probably staring me in the face) Thank you in advance Andy 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.

I've got tables and have css setting the border properties of cells in the table. My issue is when mousing over Anchors in td's in the table the borders of the td's will sometimes dissapear. Its just funky. Its doing it on 2 different machines running IE6 ...Has anyone esle seen this? Is this some variant of the Guillotine Bug? Is there anyway I can do something like this using css. Follow the red arrow. Basically, I would like to put a tiny red square on the upper right hand corner of an image. Is this possible? Here is the website that i would like to implement it on. http://upit.section31.us/index.php?browse Hi I have a image gallery and I would like delete buttons or red little x's ontop of each image. I dont want to make the image background DIV I want to keep it <img src="image.jpg"> Is it possible to do this? Louis Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code: .results { border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ; } Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! I will try to explain as simple as I can: I have rollover drop down menus, made with <DIV>'s. Showing and hiding them with JavaScript/CSS, usual stuff... While opening and closing menus, and hovering the menu items, table's bkg images are kind of "blinking". I am using CSS to put bkg image to a cell Code: background-image:url(/burakueda/images/bg_gifs/down_end.gif); . I realized that, browser tries to download bkg images everytime I open a pulldown menu, or hover a menu item. I have other images in same page, inserted with <IMG> tag, they don't have any problem. Anyone knows anything about this? Thanks in advance for any help Hi Everyone, I'm currently doing a job for a client of the company I work for. In this case the client has created an Iframe for us to publish content on their website. They have certain aspects of the content they would like to change. The content we are publishing is coming from an old oracle database and there are no classes or ids. We want to hide one of these images from the database, is it possible to flag and hide the file name using css? Here is the code Oracle is pushing out... Though I don't know how much it'll help. <TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="95%" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align=right> <A HREF="corpworkstestfour.job_posting?pi_job_id=8315038&pi_search_id=596347860&pi_sort=POST_DATE&pi_curjob=2&pi_maxjob=2"><IMG SRC="~/next.gif" ALT="Next Job" BORDER=0 ALIGN=bottom hspace=2></A> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> next.gif is the image I need to hide. Thanks in advance to all who read, help and take a shot at this. Regards, Tom 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. |
