CSS - Table Problems
http://richgirlstore.com/xcart/home.php
hmm. what might cause this in IE ? works perfect in Firefox Similar TutorialsHi 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 { background: #EFF7FF url(bg.gif); text-align:center; padding:0; } #outer { border:5px double #234B77; width:650px; padding:0px; margin:0px; } #hdr { width:650px; height:151px; background: #21558C; } #bar { width: 650px; height:90px; background: #ADD7EF url(rainbowsitedesign_2x1.gif); border:solid #000000; border-width:0px; padding-top: 37px; text-align:left; } #bodyblock { position:relative; background: #ADD7EF url(backgroundforsite.gif); width:650px; padding:0; } #l-col { float:left; background: #ffffff url(white.gif); color: #333333; width:140px; border-left: 1px solid #234B77; border-right: 1px solid #234B77; border-top: 1px solid #234B77; border-bottom: 1px solid #234B77; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px; } #coltop { height: 42px; background: #3971B5 url(tabletop.gif); color: #000; text-align: center; padding:10px; font-size: 105%; font-weight: bold; color:#1A3958; } #cont { width:485px; background: #ffffff url(white.gif); border-left:1px solid #234B77; border-right:1px solid #234B77; border-top:1px solid #234B77; border-bottom:1px solid #234B77; text-align:left; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px; margin-right:5px; font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal; color:#1A3958; } #contentop { width:485px; height:42px; background: #3971B5 url(tabletop.gif); color: #333333; border-left:0px solid #234B77; border-right:0px solid #234B77; border-top:0px solid #234B77; border-bottom:1px solid #234B77; margin:0px; text-align: center; padding:10px; font-size: 105%; font-weight: bold; color:#1A3958; } #ftr { width:650px; height:25px; background:#346EB4; color: #333333; border: 0px solid #000000; margin:0; } #ftr2 { width:650px; height:25px; background:#346EB4; border: 0px solid #000000; margin:0; } #ftr3 { width:650px; height:99px; background: #346EB4 url(websitedesign.gif); border: 0px solid #000000; margin:0; padding-top: 20px; } #home { width:50px; height:10px; border: 1px solid #000000; margin:0; } p:first-letter { font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; } a.red:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.red:visited { text-decoration: none; color:#ff0000; } a.red:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#ff0000; } a.orange:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.orange:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ff6600; } a.orange:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#ff6600; } a.yellow:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.yellow:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #ffff00; } a.yellow:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#ffff00; } a.green:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.green:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #009900; } a.green:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#009900; } a.blue:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.blue:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #0000ff; } a.blue:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#0000ff; } a.violet:link { text-decoration: none; color: #234B77; } a.violet:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #660066; } a.violet:hover { text-decoration: underline; color:#660066; } #ftr2 a:link { text-decoration: underline; color: #152F4D; } #ftr2 a:visited { text-decoration: line-through; color: #ccc; } #ftr2 a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #88B2DC; } 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! 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 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. 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 { width:800px; font:0.83em/1.4em Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; color:#CBD4E3; background:#000 url(images/body_bg.gif) repeat-y top center; letter-spacing:1px; margin:0 auto; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-style:italic; font-weight:bold; color:#e9df55; background-color:#000; } h2 { font-size:2em; } h3 { font-size:1.5em; } h4 { font-size:1.25em; } a:link { color:#8090AC; text-decoration:none; } a:visited { color:#B17F6C; text-decoration:none; } a:hover { color:#E9DF55; text-decoration:underline; } a:active { color:#E9DF55; text-decoration:none; } #container { width:760px; margin:0 auto; } #header { height:200px; width:760px; margin:0; padding:0; } #banner { height:100%; width:100%; color:#cbd4e3; background:#000 url(images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat top left; margin:0 auto; padding:0; } #banner h1 { font-size:400%; color:#CBD4E3; background-color:transparent; float:left; display:inline; margin:0; padding:70px 0 70px 280px; } #banner h2 { font-size: 12pt; color: #e9df55; background-color:transparent; text-indent: 200pt; vertical-align: text-bottom; } navigate{ color : #105BAC; background-color : transparent; height : 20px; font-size: 100%; border-top : 1px solid #999999; } #navigate ul { list-style-type: none; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 150px; margin-right: 0px; padding: 2px 0 0 0; } #navigate ul li { display: inline; } td { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } th { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } p { font-size: 14px; color: #FFFFFF; left: 50px; right: 50px; } #main { width: 660px; padding-right: 50px; padding-left: 50px; } #footer { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 9px; color: #666666; height: 100px; width: 760px; vertical-align: text-bottom; text-align: center; } #SplashImage { float: left; } .image-left { clear: none; margin-bottom: 10px; float: left; margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 10px; } .image-right { clear: none; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; float: right; } 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'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> 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 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 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? 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'm working on an application using asp with vbscript/javascript. The CSS for a certain page is written and applied using javascript document.writeln. The variable with the css is just a javascript string variable that includes the style tags and the css. (This is just a bit of the code I'm working with. There is too much to post.) This works fine in IE/Firefox, but I'm having problems in Safari/Chrome. It's not registering the a.weekday:link in specific. It's using the default a:-webkit-any-link in Chrome. Other places are using a css page to apply the a:link styles and it works fine. Any ideas what the problem is? I've done some searching on the internet and could not come up with anything. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. http://www.bttfpromo.net/tb/ The bottom div...the left child div doesn't want to be the same height as the right child, no matter if I set a height percentage on it or not. Why is that? Also, what can I do to keep IE from raping the upper right divs? http://tinyurl.com/5wgx4s The first problem is that in IE the header menu does not go straight across, instead it does down the page like stairs. How do I fix this? Secondly, on the products page, why are the bullet points behind the text? Thanks |
