CSS - How To Control The Height Of A Table Cell
Hello people
I have a silly style-related question I am trying to render a simple HTML table The table has 2 rows on its left column and one cell on its right column (rowspan = 2) What I am trying to do is to cause the top-left cell to have a fixed height, and to give the remaining height to the cell below it (in the same column). This should work no matter how tall is the table Here is my snippet: Code: <html> <body> <table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50" height="45" valign="top" style="padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px;"><img src="graphic.jpg" width="30" height="40" style="border:1px solid red;"></img></td> <td width="99%" rowspan="2" valign="top" style="padding-bottom:5px;">This<br> is<br> the<br> content<br> of<br> the<br> text<br> on<br> the<br> right</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50" style="padding-bottom:5px;" valign="top">text under photo</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The code behaves correctly when viewed in Firefox 1.5 (see attachment screenshot) but when viewed in IE6.0, the top-left cell seems to ignore my height request... any help would be appreciated Similar TutorialsHello, i am creating a dynamic content php page. I start with a photoshop image and create slices and have it output the HTML and CSS table. The problem i am having is that the center cell where the content should go does not expand when the the text goes out of its bound. Is there a way i can do this? Here is the code and a link to the example output. Code:

http://67.86.83.106:81/homeline/index.php I would like the bottom portion along with the menu cell to resize vertically based on the amount of data but always atleast have the given size it is now. Thanks for the help I want to set up a table so that error messages appear directly above specific table columns in the form of a div tag with a red background and the same width as the column. To do this I've added a div tag inside the <th> element of the table, with the display property set to 'none'. Code: <th> <nobr>Header Content</nobr> <div id="error_message">Error Message</div> </th> When I want to display an error message above the table I use the following styles on the div tag Code:
background-color: #ffcccc;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: -100px;
z-index: 1;
display: block;
It displays the div tag above the header like I want, but it still stretches the height of the <th> element as if it was still contained inside of it. How do I do this without stretching the cell height? Hi and thanks in advance for any of your help. I need a single colum with several rows, all of which but one have a fixed height. The remaining row/cell should fill the remaining space. I have achieved this in IE6/7/8 with the style "height:100%" attribute but Firefox lets the page scroll of the bottom of the screen. I want the table to be fully visible at all times but with the felxible row/cell collapsing to fit the screen. Code is below with screenshot attached of what I expect to happen (as in IE). Code: <html style="height:100%;"> <body style="height:100%; margin:0;"> <table style="height:100%; width:250px;"> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 1<br />fixed height, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="height:100%;"><div style="vertical-align:top; height:100%; background-color:#ccc; overflow:auto;">text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text<br />text</div></td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 3<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 4<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> <tr><td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#eee;">row 5<br />fixed height again, some navigation links</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> Thanks again for any help or pointers as to where I have gone wrong. Hi everybody Is there a way to inherit the height of a surrounding table cell? <td> <a href="..." style="display: block;">...</a> <!-- Should have the same height as the td --> </td> Thanks for help :-) Josh I'm assuming this is going to be a CSS issue. I have a table cell which contains text, and for the sake of accessibility, I'm allowing text resizing and would like to prevent the table cell from changing in height when the font size is increased. Basically, as the font size increases, the width of the cell is the only thing that will change, not the height. First, is this possible? Second, if so how can this be achieved? I'm pretty sure that I've seen other sites do this, just can't remember where. Thanks in advance! 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. This is occurring in IE8 for the user. I have IE8 as well. Here is a setup of my table Code: <div id="Content">
<p class='instructions'>Click a column header to sort the table.</p>
<div spry:region="jdmba">
<div spry:state="loading" class="loading">Please wait while alumni data loads…</div>
<table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<th scope="col" width="108px" class="sortable" spry:sort="last" id="last">Last Name</th>
<th scope="col" width="106px" class="sortable" spry:sort="first" id="first">First Name</th>
<th scope="col" width="269px" class="sortable" spry:sort="account" id="account">Company</th>

<th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hbs_year" id="hbs_year">MBA</th>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="Overload">

I'm only placing borders on the left and bottom so that in my detail cells the borders aren't doubled up. So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. 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? I'm loading a pdf document into my html document through an iframe. The document it is being embedded into is a layer that acts like a popup window who's width and height can be adjusted by dragging the window. I'm trying to have the iframe maintain 100% height, but can't seem to get it. <div style="height:350px;"> <iframe src="test.php" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe> </div> Now if I change the height from 350 to 100% on the div element, the iframe will resize to fit to 100% as the window is resized. However the downside to this is that when the iframe initially loads it's only about 50px in height. Suggestions on how to both maintain 100% and initialize at a fixed width? 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 have a table in which I use divs to put content, here's my simple table; Code: <table border='1' width='500'> <tr> <td colspan='2'><div id='navHeader'>Header</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div id='navContent'>content</div></td> <td class='fullheight' bgcolor='yellow'><div id='navSidebar'>nav bar</div></td> </tr> </table> and here's the CSS code Code:
#navHeader
{
margin: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#navContent
{
margin: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
height: 500px;
padding: 10px;
}
#navSidebar
{
margin: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 10px;
}
.fullheight
{
height: 100%;
}
you can see the result here : http://www.net-cube.ca/fullheight/ as you can see, the 'nav bar' isn't taking 100% in height. In the CSS, I defined a 100% height rule (fullheight) and I'm calling it in it's appropriate td cell, it's parent, to make it 100% full height, I painted it yellow. What I want, is that #id navSidebar div to take 100% of the cell height, like the 100% width. I know I should not be using tables, but I'm starting to get used to CSS, I was doing tables layout for years ... and years, so much clear for me now, I' m making the transition. My problem is that the 'navContent' div will be much longer in height than the navSidebar div, but I want them equals, how can I achieve that?? I could define '500px' in the navSidebar too, but I don't want to, I don't want to specify any length at all, this line will disappear when content will take place. Thanks I use Quote: <tr><td style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 100px;" colspan=9> </td></tr> and it creates the proper cell height but the color is not black. If I use PHP Code: <tr><td style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 1px;" colspan=9> </td></tr> the cell height does not collapse to 1px and the color is not black either. Any suggestions? Hi, Does anyone have any ideas or fixes to get an image to be 100% height of a table cell in IE. (XHTML Transitional) Here is an example http://www.degs.co.uk/test/css/height.htm Works fine in Mozilla/Firefox & Opera Code: html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
height: 96%;
}
table {
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 700px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.vdivider {
width: 5px;
height: 100%;
}
Cheers, Degs say you have a page with 2 main columns inside a container. the right column is a sidebar. both are supplied content dynamically. i'd like the container (inclusive) to be the height of the content column (as determined by its children), and the sidebar should scroll (vertically) its content based on that size. there's a (non-functional) example attached. if you run it you can see the container takes the height of the sidebar - it (the bordered container) should end at the bottom of the content div, and the sidebar should scroll. it's laid out using floating divs, but tables would be fine; javascript is not (per client). any ideas would be welcome. tyia.

Hello everybody, I not an expert in CSS but getting better at it. I'm trying to control the look and feel of a table but its not working. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. <div id="page-container"> <div class = "data_table"> have the table all setup and some css works and some done. </div> </div> Quote: <body> <div id="page-container"> <div class = "data_table"> <table width="760" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th> Ticket # </th> <th> Description </th> <th> Created </th> </tr> <tr onmouseover="ChangeColor(this, true);" onmouseout="ChangeColor(this, false);" onclick="DoNav('http://www.yahoo.com/');"> <td> 473875 </td> <td> unable to install network card </td> <td> Dec.03.07 </td> </tr> <tr onmouseover="ChangeColor(this, true);" onmouseout="ChangeColor(this, false);" onclick="DoNav('http://www.microsoft.com/');"> <td> 474723 </td> <td> Need help setting up my router </td> <td> sept.03.07 </td> </tr> <tr onmouseover="ChangeColor(this, true);" onmouseout="ChangeColor(this, false);" onclick="DoNav('http://Imar.Spaanjaars.Com/');"> <td> 463175 </td> <td> Need microsoft word training</td> <td> Jan. 07.08 </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> from external css file Quote: #data_table .table { border: 1px solid black; border-bottom: 1; border-left-style: solid; } #data_table .th { border: 1px solid black; border-bottom: 1 solid black; background: lightgreen; } #data_table .td { border-bottom: 1px solid black; border: 1; } 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. Hello, I have not used CSS very much, so this may be a fairly simple problem. I want a table to be 800px wide, and 'centered' in the screen (like msn page appears when you open it at any resolution greater than 800x600). Then I have a TD whom I want to be 150px wide, how can I achieve this affect just by typing: Code: <table class="masterTable"> and Code: <td class="masterCell"> I am using a Body{...} style on my page (background set to black #000000) and DIV's inside Tables inside DIV's and when I set up and use a .14 (14px size and white color font syle class) my text stays black! The only thing that works is "inline styles". Not good for site wide-control. There is obviously a conflict here or something is superceding my classes. I prefer to use CSS for font control. I am using div's because of a "jquery slider" and tables because I usually design the look in photoshop and then use slices... not doing that on this site, but it's just what I'm used to. Thanks for any help. single page site is here "petermarsphotography dot com" 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. hi all... i have a table cell "td" with 3 divs in it. what i need is to get it to align the top div to the top, middle div to the middle and 3'ed div to the bottom... this is all fine but i cant get to do that, and the auto increase height on the middle one dont work ? btw: this is for the IE style sheet, mozilla(firefox) works great.... frank/ Hi. 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 |
