CSS - Problems Building 'ultimate' Scrolling Table
I am trying to build a table in which the center scrolls both ways but the columns and rows around the edges stay put - have a look at the page below using IE6 to see what I mean:
(URL address blocked: See forum rules) This is working exactly as I want it to in IE6, my problem is that I can't get it to work right in IE7 - the horizontal scrolling is not working properly. By re-instating the commented out code on line 81 I can get it to sort of work, but I don't want to have to specify the width like this as the table contents are going to be dynamic and there is no way of knowing how wide they will be. This is for use on a company intranet where all the users have IE6 or IE7, hence I am not concerned with other browsers or earlier versions of IE. Any help getting this working would be much appreciated... P Similar TutorialsI've got some text setup in a <div> of mine, and the lines of text are so long that they scroll off the side of the screen. I want these lines to wrap to a new line so they don't scroll off the screen. How do you make text in a <div> not be able to be more wide than like, x% of the screen?

Thank you. Dear all, I have been working to implement a scrolling table into an xml / xsl interface and so far have managed to put together an acceptable version using <thead> and <tbody> syntax. Indeed, for the html examples that I found out there, this seems to work perfectly. On the surface it also works perfectly in my xml / xsl implementation too (html underneath). Indeed, using IE6*, you can take a look at a cut-down example by going to this link ... http://alse.load4.net/scrollproblem/scrollproblem.xml ... and then selecting 'Milan', 'Report Test' and clicking on 'Run'. This gives a nice scrolling list which is exactly what I want. However ... If you scroll to the bottom of the list in the scrolling area (the list is short as I have removed most of the data and all the reports except for this one) and then resize the window, the headers are distorted. With more data (which is normally the case for us) the distortion is even worse. I have spent many hours tweaking my CSS (contain in the XSL file for convenience) and the HTML but just can't get rid of the 'distortion-on-resize' problem. I am hoping that either ... a.) There is a way to block the browser from being resized (I don't know if there is?) ... or ... b.) Someone can take a look at my syntax and offer a suggestion to sort this out. The source code can be obtained by clicking on the two hyperlinks 'xml file' and 'xsl file' included in the link. Indeed, I believe that the problem (and solution) may lie in some dynamic CSS declarations ( e.g. top: expression(offsetParent.scrollTop); /*IE5+ only*/ ) which I have obtained from various examples but don't understand completely. Many thanks for any help that you can give as this could be a great little tool if we can sort out this last hurdle. Regards, Alan Searle *: This solution is only designed to work with IE as that is what we have in-house. CSS: Here are the CSS declarations which are contained in the XSL file ... [code] <style type="text/css" media="screen"> table {width: 99%; background-color: #E2EFFE; border-style: solid; border-collapse:collapse; border-color: #316AC5;} table.displayframe { background-color: white; border: solid 1px #316AC5;} h1 {margin-top: 1em; font-variant: normal;} h2 {margin-left:5px;} h3 {margin-left:5px;} div.tableContainer { width: 100%; /* table width will be 99% of this*/ height: 344px; /* must be greater than tbody*/ overflow: auto; margin: 0 auto;} table.cont { width: 98%; /*100% of container produces horiz. scroll in Mozilla*/ border: none; background-color: #E2EFFE;} table.cont>tbody { /* child selector syntax which IE6 and older do not support*/ overflow: auto; height: 301px; overflow-x: hidden;} thead.cont tr { border: none; position:relative; top: expression(offsetParent.scrollTop); /*IE5+ only*/ } thead.cont td, thead.cont th { font-size: 14px; background-color: white; color: blue; border: none; /* border-top: solid 1px #d8d8d8; */ } td.cont { color: #000; padding-right: 2px; font-size: 8px; border-bottom: solid 1px #d8d8d8; border-left: solid 1px #d8d8d8;} table.cont tfoot tr { /*to help IE*/ position: relative; overflow-x: hidden; top: expression(parentNode.parentNode.offsetHeight >= offsetParent.offsetHeight ? 0 - parentNode.parentNode.offsetHeight + offsetParent.offsetHeight + offsetParent.scrollTop : 0); } a:link {text-decoration: underline;} a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: #851D9E;} a:visited {text-decoration: underline; color: #8080C0;} </style> I'd like to create a table that'll scroll so I can control the on-screen size and have buttons visible below the rows, and so on. I found an example, that appears to have the CSS to make it work in IE (at least that's what the comment say), but although it looks fine in Firefox, I can't get it to work at all in IE 8. Can someone take a look and tell me if there's some simple change that needed, of if this just plain is NOT going to work in IE, or what? I put the whole thing in here, so if you grab it and dump it in an html file, it should run... Code:

In order to generate a scrollable table with fixed header, I am using the method which relies on two separate tables nested within div elements: one table that contains the fixed header row, and another for the main data rows. The div holding the data table has a fixed height and overflow set to auto to enable the scrolling. This part works fine. The problem, as some old posts in this forum describe, is getting the column widths to line up in both of the tables. I tried several things, but this rather brute force method is the only potential solution I have come up with: The first row of both tables must contain an identical header row (I'm using 'td' elements rather than 'th'). I must also include one row of data within the header table -- a 'dummy row'. To achieve the desired effect, the dummy row in the first table, and the header row in the second table, must both be made invisible to the user without altering the rendering of the column widths. I first tried using 'display: none', and the rows disappear but the table reflows and the columns no longer align between the tables. If I instead use 'visibility: none', the columns remain aligned, but now I have to deal with the two rows of blank space that separates tables 1 and 2. Is there a CSS method to collapse that dead space between the two tables? Or perhaps another approach altogether? Note: Unfortunately, I need a solution that will work in MSIE 6/Win. Code: <div id="screenheader">
<table width="98.8%">
<tr>
<td>column heads...
</tr>
<tr id="dummyRow">
<td>representative data...
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div id="dataTable">
<table id="mytable" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td>column heads again
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
rows of data...
</tr>
</table>
</div>
#dummyRow { visibility: hidden; }
thead { visibility: hidden; }
#dataTable {
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
border-bottom: solid thin #999
}
[A view of what I want the final product I made in photoshop is attached.] When it comes to the technical aspect of design I BS my way through most of it or pick it up as I go along. On top of this, I'm too anal to use anything but Notepad to edit my code, but that's not the problem. This is: The image at the bottom of the page is what I'd like the damn page to look like without the use of Flash (I could do that, but I want to make a seperate site design that uses flash and keep this to HTML, CSS and maybe Javascript). So, I found this: URL and I think it's what I want, but, my first thought was that it was an arhived post. It actually appears to be an unanswered post. I tried it out, and sure enough it doesn't work. Well, I was hoping it would, because I'm more geared towards Graphic Design and no coding. I tend to design em first and fill in the blanks later. Well, this time, my code isn't the only thing that's blank and I'm just this page and another very similer one away from finishing the site, so I need help. Here's how I planned to put the thing together: It's an HTML table centered in the middle of the page. I was planning on planting the CSS in the gaping hole left by removing a section of table, and praying it fit snugly. Am I going about this wrong? And if I'm not and that link is the solution to my problems, how do I implement it into my code? I tried a test version of it, and couldn't get it to work, but I'll tell you now, I only have a theoretical graps of CSS and haven't dove into it as of yet...thus I know nothing really. And on top of this, I want to make those two left side text pieces link to anchors in the scrolling text. And those things on the right side are customized scoll bars. The latter is not nesscary (I know that's java script. I had it on a site I did a while ago, but the site is lost and I didn't code that section), but it would be optimum. So that's it, and, well, if it works, it will look pretty. Thanks for your help before hand, if this is too rambling, please feel free to tell me to better describe it. I'm in a bit of a rush, and as soon as I hit "Submit" I'm running out the door. ------->Jeff Compton http://richgirlstore.com/xcart/home.php hmm. what might cause this in IE ? works perfect in Firefox Hi guys, Having some problems with this site -- it validates ok but as you will see the tables are displaying way off. In Firefox -- the second td with the text is displaying underneath the first td instead of alongside it in IE -- the second td has a huge indent before the text, and the list isnt showing the bullet points It's frustrating me hard as it was working the other night, and now I open it again something is wrong and i've no idea what I changed. Any ideas? ps hi i am new here! edit: um ok it wont let me post the url since i am new. its castworks dot com dot au forwardslash template_castworks dot html if anyone can actually be bothered to look at that I'm so excited! I recently decided to try again (the third time) to see if I could convert my horrid table layout to divs. I was finally able to make something reletivly good in most browsers, but I am still having alot of browser-related problems! Normally I would have given up by now...but i found that my table layout was at 28 seconds over 56.6 ( :O ) and once i converted it it was only 3 seconds over (double :O ) Anyway, pretty much everything validates (including the css) when I put in the doctype, but when the doctype is in it looks like a mess in all browsers. I've been using transitional xhtml. When I take it out it looks better in all browsers, but is still really bad in all but IE. I have put together on my site two pages with the same code except one has the doctype and the other doesn't. The css for both is: Code: body {

Here are the two pages: With doctype: http://rainbowsitedesign.com/withdoctype.html Without it: http://rainbowsitedesign.com/nodoctype.html How can I fix both my browser problems and my doctype problems? Any help is app! Here is the relevant HTML code: <table> <tr> <td> <div style="float:left;"> <div class="middle"><div class="r"><div class="l"> <a id="gridtitle" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="reload()"></a> </div></div></div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <a href="#" onclick="addheader()"><img border="0" src="tab_new_header.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="addfooter()"><img border="0" srctab_new_footer.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </div> <div style="float:right;"> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:toggleLayer('newgrid');"><img border="0" src="button_add.png" alt="Add a grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="deleteGrid()"><img border="0" src="button_delete.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div id="gridbox3" class="gridbox" width="870px" height="600px" style="background-color:white;"></div> </td> </tr> </table> And the relevant CSS code [which just sets the background of the tab]: .l {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .r {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg2.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .middle {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg.png); height: 43px;} This is the output (i can't post images?) http://i34 [.] tinypic [.] com/4hpqag [.] png The first problem I am having is that the div my gridtitle (CIBC) is in does not set its width automatically to the text width. Instaed, it spans the whole table ... Position-wise, I would like the tab with "CIBC" to be to the far left, the header and footer tabs to be right of "CIBC" but still floating left, and the + and x signs to be floating right, all on the same line. Help? Thanks in advance. Hi everybody, I'm trying to build a layout. There is one piece in the center, a company logo and address. Things are supposed to branch off of it, and you click on them you know, and then that makes it work. I got the thing centered very nicely using absolute positioning and negative margins, but I'm having trouble adding in the little branches. How do you do that without them overlapping the centered thing and moving all around based on resolution? Can it be done? I'm thinking about doing it with an imagemap or Flash instead, but I'd prefer just square CSS. We want the centered thing to recenter itself based on the resolution, and we'd like these things to always be so far from there, but I don't know how to do that. Doesn't work with absolute positioning and I'm not sure if it does with relative (I've not been able to get it to). I made a little drawing of what it should look like. Please see http://tinypic.com/55nsl0 . Thank you, your assistance is deeply appreciated. I am trying to build a menu that will load content either on the right of it or the left. I have looked for a tutorial on how to do this but am having no luck with the search engines. Here is a picture of what I would like to do. If anyone can assist me with this it would be very helpful. Or maybe even point me in the direction of a source. Thank you! I'm trying to build a window script. To start with I'm just trying to finalize the HTML needed for the window. You'll find my attempt below. The first one is before adding close and resize elements. It seems an ok starting point. The 2nd one shows my attempt to add the close & resize elements. The difficulty is in making them line up with the right hand side of the window and making the top one not take up an extra line. The problem is that I don't want to specify the size of the 'window' div because I want it to expand to fit the content. Because there is no width set any attempt to align right ends up aligning with the right hand side of the browser window. Anyone got some ideas as to how I deal with this? Am I approaching it wrong?

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? 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? I am developing a web site, panopticinsight dot com. The header/banner looks fine in Firefox. In IE7 and Opera, the H2 subtitle is left aligned over the globe image. In IE6 content jumps outside of container. Anyone know why there is a shift, and what I can do about it? Style sheet code pasted below: Code: body {

Hey guys!! I got a quick question. I have a CSS layout page with 2 scrollbars. The first one for a news section and the second for a product. I have a lot of content for both sections, The scrollbars work fine, but on the main IE the scrollbars keep adjusting to the content that I have. if i have less content then its small..... I want to have no scrolling on my main window. Good morning, I have a problem with a layer(div) that I am putting over my page everytime the user clicks a button and a transaction is send to the host. My problem is that if there is an scroll and the user scroll, the message scrolls up and dissapears. I need to fix it to the center of the screen. I have tried with % instead of absolute px. Can anyone help me, please?. I am close to my deadline, so any help would be really apreciated. I am attaching my code: window.onbeforeunload=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='visible';"); window.onblur=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='hidden';"); //window.onfocus=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='hidden';"); document.write('<div style="position:absolute; top:160; left:313; visibility:hidden; overflow:hidden; background-color:#CCCCCC; clip:rect(12,177,50,3); " id="Procesando">\n'+ '<select size=4 name="cbEspera" class="TextoTablaIzq" style="background-color:#CCB8E0; font-Weight:bold;">\n'+ '<option> </option>\n'+ '<option> Procesando su petici'+unescape("%F3")+'n. </option>\n'+ '<option> Espere por favor... </option>\n'+ '<option> </option>\n'+ '</select></div>\n'); Hi guys, I've this div with overflow:auto. This div is populated using xmlhttprequest (it's an IM chat) so it will be getting full to the point where there's an overflow and the scrollbar shows up. What I would like to do is, whenever a new content line was added to the div (I'm using DOM to do so), the scroll (if overflow has happened) would go all the way down in a way where the last line of visible text in the div would always be the last line inserted. I'm somewhat newbie at this stuff so, any help in the right direction would be great! Thx Hugo |
