CSS - Table Buffer?

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.

can someone post an example for me. i am trying to do something like this:

http://athletics.ucsd.edu/roster/index.php?id=21

and i can do it w/ html. but if you go to view->text size-> larger, it won't look right anymore since some of the text is too long and wraps to the next line making the table not uniform. so i was wondering how this person did this. thanks!

Hello,

I created a table, with 600px fixed width, with 3 columns.
The first column contains a checkbox so I am using a fixed with.
Second column should expand.
Third column has only one word so I decided to make it fixed width
giving it some margin.

The problem is that in IE 7 the first column, the one with the check
box, gets much wider then it should be.

What am I doing wrong?
And is there something I should to to improve the design of my table?

Here is my code:

<table id="ctl02_lvTags_tTags" class="Grid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="CheckBox">&nbsp;</th>
<th>Tag</th>
<th class="Command">&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<th colspan="2">Footer Left</th>
<th>Footer Right</th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody id="ctl02_lvTags_itemContainer">
<tr>
<td class="CheckBox">
<input id="cbActive1" name="cbActive1" disabled="disabled"
type="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
Tag 001
</td>
<td class="Command">
<a id="lbEdit1">Edit</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="CheckBox">
<input id="cbActive2" name="cbActive2" disabled="disabled"
type="checkbox">
</td>
<td>
Tag 002
</td>
<td class="Command">
<a id="lbEdit2">Edit</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

.Grid
{
margin: 20px;
border-collapse: collapse;
color: #505050;
font-size: 70%;
width: 600px;
}

.Grid th.CheckBox
{
text-align: center;
width: 25px;
}

.Grid th.Command
{
width: 100px;

}

Thanks,
Miguel

Hey... I'm trying to get the background of my div style table to be semi transparent, while also trying to get the scroll transparent, am I doing something wrong?

<div style="width:560px; height:200px; BORDER: #000000 1px solid; FILTER:alpha(opacity=75); overflow:auto; BACKGROUND: #666666; scrollbar-face-color : #40FF40; scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000; scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000 ; #40FF40; scrollbar-shadow-color : #40FF40; scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #40FF40; scrollbar-track-color : #40FF40; scrollbar-arrow-color : #000000; style="FILTER:chroma(color=#40FF40); allowtransparency="true"; style="FILTER:chroma(color=#40FF40)">

I'm redesigning a site for an actor. He has an existing site, but it looks cack, hence the reason why I'm redoing it.

My question is; can I use tables for this page. I'm new to using css for positioning still, and it would seem to be far easier to do this with a table.

here it is

I am just starting out with CSS layouts, I wanted to know if this would be the best way to create a CSS layout with 2 columns and 3 rows or is there a better/easier way?

Hello,

I have a table with 3 columns and I am using the usual header, footer
and body sections.

The first column has only an input (check box).

Is it possible to make column 1 and 3 fixed width and column 2 get the
remaining width?

Thank You,
Miguel

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...

I am really new to css and I am trying to make a simple table but I can't make the vertical borders of my columns appear.

This is what it currently looks like
radio.magicmonsterrecords.com/108-2

This is the code I used

table
{
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse:collapse
}
#content tr td {
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-left: 1px solid black
border-right: 1px solid black
border-bottom: 1px solid black
padding: 6px 24px;
}
tr {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

I am at a loss of what to do!!
I would also like the first row and first column to be pink but at this point I would be happy to just get the table working.

Can anyone help me?
thanks
