CSS - Table. What Options Do I Have?
Hello,
I work with ASP.NET and I never liked the way some controls are rendered. Fortunately .NET 3.5 has a new control, ListView, which lets me render my HTML code the way I want. I need do display tabular data on various pages of a web site. Should I use tables? Should I use lists? What other option is best and which should I use? And if I use a table what is the cleaner and better table code I should have? For example, should I consider this a good code: <div class="PrettyGridView" id="GridView1"> <div class="AspNet-GridView"> <div class="AspNet-GridView-Pagination AspNet-GridView-Top"> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$1')">1</a> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$2')">2</a> <span>3</span> </div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary=""> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort $Operation')">Operation</a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Reps')">Repetitions</ a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Duration')">Total test</a></th> <th scope="col"><a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Sort$Average')">Average</ a></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Sin</td> <td>27124</td> <td>31</td> <td>1.1521</td> </tr> <tr class="AspNet-GridView-Alternate"> <td>Sinh</td> <td>19777</td> <td>31</td> <td>1.5801</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class="AspNet-GridView-Pagination AspNet-GridView-Bottom"> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$1')">1</a> <a href="javascript:__doPostBack('GridView1','Page$2')">2</a> <span>3</span> </div> </div> </div> Thanks, Miguel Similar TutorialsHi, I have used the UL and LI elements to build a tree as follows: Code:
<div class="tree">
<ul>
<li>
<span>One</span>
<span class="controls">
<input type="radio" ... />
<input type="button" ... />
</span>
<ul>
<li>
<span>Child of One</span>
<span class="controls">
<input type="radio" ... />
<input type="button" ... />
</span>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
</div>
The result of the above XHTML would be somethings as follows: Code: - One <Radio> <Button> - Child of One <Radio> Button> ... Now I want to try and get the following result through CSS: Code:
- One <Radio> <Button>
- Child of One <Radio> Button>
- Another Child <Radio> Button>
- Second Child <Radio> Button>
- Two <Radio> Button>
- Child of Two <Radio> Button>
...
That is in other words I want to have still have elements indented for every child element but all the controls of the elements are under each other at the right side of the div element. Is this possible? If so are there any example I can use? I have wrapped the controls inside a span because I felt that this would help. However I do not know how I can change the width of each 'li' element depending on its position in the three! (unless I use javascript, which I am trying to avoid). Also I do not know if CSS wise this is the best way forward. Thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Sim085 I'm using the max-width in IE in my site - specifically I'm using it to set the minimum height of certain elements. Now that it has become a key part of my design, I realized that it generates errors in the W3 validator. Does anyone know a valid way to use the min-height that will work with IE? I've got a dynamically generated <select> list, where the <option>s are styled using both 'class' and 'style' - like in the following example: PHP Code: <style> .thm_img { height:30px; } </style> <select> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #99CC00;" value="1" >Image 1</option> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #FF3300;" value="2" >Image 2</option> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #CC9999;" value="3" selected="selected" >Image 3</option> </select> No big deal - pretty standard stuff. The "selected" <option> displays in the 'visible' part of the field and also as part of the drop list ... as one would expect. But, and this is where I am baffled - the attributes from both class and style show up in the option listing, whilst only the 'class' attributes show up in the 'visible' part of the list. If I'm not making any sense here, just cut and paste the above code into an html editor to see what I mean. You'd note that 'Image 3' has a white background in the visible part of the field, but a coloured background in the drop list. Would anyone know why the attributes from the 'style' aren't being applied but that from the 'class' is ? ... and how (if possible) would I resolve this without combining the style into the class (since combining them is not an option - no pun intended). Cheers I have a website/application that I want to give the users the option to select from multiple CSS's on their browser. How do I go about letting the user change the style sheet? -Dynasty Hi, I am new at this. I am using a software to create my website . I dont want the customer to see a shipping option on the checkout page as my product cannot be shipped. How do I remove the shipping information part and show only the billing information from the checkout page? Someone gave me this css: <style type="text/css"> #DisplayShippingSpeedChoicesTD { display: none !important; } #CalcShippingDivContainer { display: none !important; } </style> Where should I put this css? SHould it go in the main css file or html template? Any particular location in the css? Thanks Hi all I have two questions about the great Firefox extensions Web Developer Toolbar. 1) Is there a way to keep selected options (e.g. Images > Display Alt Attributes) even when reloading the page? Or even forever (until I deselect them)? 2) Can I alter the default CSS used to display information? E.g. I want the displayed alt attributes of images to be displayed absolutely and with an opacity of 50% or so. This way I always see while working on a web when there is no alt attribute or an inappropriate one (maybe from copy pasting or so)... Thanks a lot for help :-) Josh Im deriving a list of photos with information from my database. I want to be able to print the webpage off without any of the information being broken up between pages. Since its coming from the database I cant just use page breaks cause then I get one image per page. Is there a solution to this? I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description. If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages design. What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line break after the width of the table is reached??? There is a solution that I put a div in td and then Code: #desc {
width:"100%";
width::fixed;
overflow:scroll;}
but it is not exactly what I want hi every one... How can I display static headers in a table, so that headers remain visible while user scrolls the table body? This is not working in IE 7 any working example please 2. iam having a column which holds data around some 100 to 200 characters... by default i want to display some 50 characters and rest of the characters can be viewed by moving the column... if this is possible let me know how to do it with some sample code......i dont know much about CSS 3. One more problem iam facing is with the number of columns displayed in the table. I have to display around 15 to 20 columns in a table... with this 15 to 20 columns in a table, i can see scrollbar to the page ....but i dont want scrollbar to the page, instead i want want scroll bar to the table (so that it doesnot effect the design of the page) I need a fixed table width and height and also fixed column width and height..... Note: I dont mind if columns are not visible (thru scrool bar i should see the hide columns) 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. I have a dynamic table that is in the cell of another table. For the life of me I cant get it to stick to the top of the cell. It wants to sit at the midline of it vertically. Thanks for reading. I'm trying to get a table inside another table which completely fills the parent table, but I cannot get it to work. The simple piece of code illustrates my problem. The red table is inside the blue table but does not cover the entire cell from top to bottom, but only the centre. I want this table to be streched. Obviously height: 100% doesn't work. Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>
</td>
<td style="background: blue;">
<table style="height: 100%; background: red;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: bottom">
Test
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Not exactly sure where to post this question... but: I'm having a bit of trouble keeping a table at a fixed height. What I have is a Small 200x80px table above my an input form. As users type data into the input form, javascript code dynamically updates the contents of the table. I have the table width properly fixed, and the input fields have character limitations... however if a user inputs a lot of capital letters or other wide characters, the table automatically increases in height when the text wraps. It's pretty much necessary that the text wraps for the middle lines of the table, and on the other two lines I have used the javascript to remove wrapping, but I never want the table to grow longer than 80px no matter how much is typed in the fields. Is there a way that I can constrain the table height? Thanks in advance! hi all ! Im having a little bit of problem to make a header and the table body match in a correct way. My header is declared as <table align="center" class="style36" id="header"> and the CSS controlling it is Code: table.style36 {
width: 1000px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.style36 td{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
And the table wich is declared as Code: <div class="scrollingDiv">
<table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="style13" id="tableBody" >
And the CSS controlling it Code:
div.scrollingDiv {
height:420px;
overflow:scroll;
vertical-align:middle;
width:1024px;
}
table.style13 {
width: 1000px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
/* Since the table has a class of style13, all td elements under that style can be
selected as below... no need for more style definitions...
*/
.style13 td {
vertical-align:middle;
}
.style13 th {
vertical-align:middle;
}
My first idea was to declare a width for each td, something like: Code: <td width="30" bgcolor="#${color2}"><div align="center">${fila.sHoraent_Citas}</div></td>
<td width="120" bgcolor="#${color2}"><div align="center"><a href="SvMedPro?boton=Info&idPaciente=${fila.idPaciente_Citas}">${fila.nom_Paciente}</a></div></td>
AND match the header too, dosent seem to work, Im pretty new to web programing so any help is appreciated. Thanks! Hi all, what i want is to customise the borders of a table... i know that <div>'s can have custom borders but, for the way that the page works i used table tags <table>. (very little experience of using <div>) is there a way that css can manipulate the borders of a table? i tried using this css: .nmhead { border-color:#cccccc; border-top:border-top-style:none; border-left:border-left-style:none; border-right:border-right-style:double; border-bottom:border-bottom-width:5px; } and then in the table doing this: <td class='nmhead'> but it didnt work (attached is what i want it to look like) any ideas? Hi, CSS whizz needed! I'm currently formatting a pre-determined HTML website using CSS. The website has been formatted with ID's for all tables and cells so I can specify which colour I'd like the background of the cells. The HTML is like this: Code: <table id="Description">
<tr><th class="title">Text</th></tr>
<tr><td class="data"><div class="ggcode">Text</div></td></tr>
</table>
So I've been formatting it like this: Code: div#Main
table#Description
.title {
border-color:#F0E68C;
background-color:#F0E68C; }
div#Main
table#Description
td.data {
border-color:#F0E68C;
background-color:#F0E68C; }
However the last table is like this: Code: <table id="recentPosts">
<tr>
<th class="title">
Recent Forum Posts
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="data">
<tr>
<th>Topic</th>
<th>User</th>
<th>Posted At</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="clickable forumTitle"><a href="link">Text></td>
<td class="username">Text</td>
<td class="date">Text12/04/2009 03:25 PM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="clickable forumTitle"><a href="link">Text</a></td>
<td class="username">Text</td>
<td class="date">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm able to format the cells within the <table id="recentPosts">, but I can't alter the cells within <table class="data"> - the table within the table. Any ideas how I would go about doing this? Thanks in advance I have a table with a specified background color (specified in CSS). The content part of the table (a cell) uses information from a downloaded script (wordpress.com) to load information. I want the table background to shine through everything. How can I accomplish this (I suspect it is in the script CSS, but I don't know what). URL The 'home' page is how I want it (basically that background effect). But the other pages come out funny with no background. Could someone solve this, or alternatively reccommend another way. I have a pretty newbish question about CSS but I dont know if it is possible or not. Ok so in CSS you can change the colors of all the td's just by putting td{}, but now I wanted to know if it is posible to change the color of one td when the td has a id name? I am helping my firiend out with his myspace page and there are a bunch td's, table's and tr's, that conain id names but not class names. Nick Hello, I understand it is better to design with <div> tags, seperating content from design. But it seems to me it compromises usability. For instance, if a visually handicapped user tries to enlarge the text on a web site with a design using layers, the text just expands out of the <div> layer, where a <table> will expand with the text. How can I overcome this issue when using the <div> tag. I am trying to make my site as user friendly as possible. Thanks... Heya guys, Im having this problem with my table, where when I put alot of text, or list things in the middle, the left-most and right-most tables expand with it, which isnt a problem, but the content of those two get centered vertically on the cell itself. My question is what code can I use to keep the content of those two tables at the top all the time, no matter what the circumstance? |
