CSS - Rethreaded - Nesting Tables W/ Css
Hi all - This is a continuted discussion from this thread. I won't bother re-explaining, but I'm restarting this thread in the hopes to simplify the situation.
I have to write out data from Coldfusion in columns rather than rows. This is a schedule with Time down the left side and Days across the top. In order to get this to display correctly, I'm using a nested tables method I found on goolge. Each Row is actually a Table within a table, where the nested table acts as a data cell, and the cells in the outer table are columns. In all my fiddling, I've ended up stumped with the following. I need this to display correctly in at least IE 5.5 and up, Netscape 7, and Firefox. A condensed version of the output is included below. Note that the tables do not end lined up. I need to be able to scale everything up or down and have it all line up (thus, everything is EMs). I originally tried to work with css borders, but found that it was even worse with that - i.e. each top or bottom border was adding pixels to the height of the cells, so where one row would have five items, it would appear "shorter" than another row with 10 items. I also tried using pixels throughout the script. I CAN get it to work when I do this, where everything lines up correctly, but I can't get it to scale! I have since moved to using an image at the top of each data output. Its closer, but still doesn't line up. The image is nothing more than a 1 pixel high gif - Just like this one. As you move down, they get further and further out of sync of the left most column. How can I get this working? I really don't understand CSS well enough, especially across browsers, in order to finish this. Again, here is the 1pixel high gif I used for the following code. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Similar Tutorialshey! I am having trouble putting a footer on a website because for some reason 2 of my divs are not sticking in the larger 'content' box. I think it has to do with the float definition but cant seem to figure it out. Here is the basic structure i have. is this wrong? Code: <div wrapper>
<div header>
<div logo></div>
<div menu></div>
</div>
<div content>
<div splash></div>
<div float left> </div>
<div float right></div>
</div>
</div>
The issue is that <float left> and <float right> are not staying inside the <content> div and my footer ends up in the middle of the page. I wish i could post the webpage but im a new user. Thanks for your help Hey. While I know some basics of css and html, I generally get bored after the design process lol, so have very little experience actual coding. Basically this is what the end product im looking is forl img266.imageshack.us/img266/8638/helpjj1.jpg The only problem is, I have no idea how to nest (?) that in there, with the text in there as well. I'm also looking for it to stay in the middle on the right there, with the box going larger or smaller. Heh... I would appreciate it soooo much is someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time Tom Hi all I'm learning how to do things in DIVs rather than tables. One thing I'm slowly realising is that DIVs don't naturally nest like tables do. Please see he http://www.mitya.co.uk/csstest As you can see the master DIV (grey border) doesn't surround the inner DIVs naturally as a table would. Presumably this isn't the nature of DIVs and I just have to set heights instead? Thanks in advance Basically, what i'm trying to work out is if the following is possible. Code:
.mainBodyColor {
background-color : #FFFFFF ;
color: #000000;
}
.mainBodyFont10pt {
font-size: 10pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
.mainBodyFont14pt {
font-size: 14pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
where <mainBodyColor> is a nested call to the style in some way.
etc etc etc
How do i go about nesting/including the mainBodyColor styling within the mainBodyFont10pt style? I know that the following doesn't work Code: <font class="mainBodyFont10pt" class="mainBodyColor "> Some text to go in here</font> What I'm trying to do is have in one place the colour and include it into many styles, so if i want to change the colour scheme of the site i just have to change it in one spot and i know that the whole site will change. Thanks in advance. hi! please can some one help me with followin... i would like to have 2 blocks in line (like one row, 2 colums). First one (left one) have background which is 285px wide. i tried with 2 divs like this: <div style="display:inline; width:285px ; background-image: url(bg.gif);">left content</div> <div style="text-align:right; display:inline; width:200px>right content</div> and IE renders it ok (for me) but firefox ignores "width" of divs and outputs "right content" right after "left content" text. thanks in advance!! Tomislav I'm having a problem with the way my div tags are behaving in a page I am trying to build. I have all the div's nested properly (I think) but the problem is is that the footer is appearing right below the top banner. The footer is not nested in the div that contains the rest of the pages content it appears behind everything else actually. I have been messing with my style sheet and moving everything around to no avail. For some reason the div that contains all the content has a height of zero when it shouldn't. I have used similar page structure before on other pages but this is the first time im using two columns of free floating boxes as opposed to one solid column divided in two. I'm leaving the style sheet and the mark up below if you can figure it out that would be great. There is only one image and it shouldn't have anything to do with this problem. I will be eternally grateful to whoever can help me as this has made me seriously consider hitting my computer with a brick. Code:

Hey guys. Does anyone know how to trigger haslayout when nesting floats inside other floats? I've been using a span parent with zoom:1 but there's probably a more robust way of doing so. Any thoughts? This is driving me crazy and I can't figure it out. I have a "content" div that is a container for 2 other div's (a sidebar and a main content area). For some reason it isn't rendering in the proper place; it's rendering at the top of the page instead of under the navigation (if I don't assign a height to it it doesn't render at all). It also isn't extending past the end of the other 2 div's to reach the footer. I have tried adding overflow hidden to it but it just makes the other 2 divs not render at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the HTML and the CSS is below it. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Okay, so here's the issue... I've designed a site using css, and to get the flow I was looking for I had to use "absolute positioning" on some of the page elements. Every thing looks fine except I can't get the page to center in the browser window. I created a div that I used as a wrapper, centered the wrapper... and most everything works fine... the exceptions are the elements that are absolutely positioned... they won't nest within my wrapper div. If I change the type of positioning of ALL the elements on the page to relative then they nest... but I don't want to have to use relative positioning for all my elements. Any words of wisdom? Hi, I'm trying to create a full CSS layout. It's basically a three column design: http://www.definitedigital.com/bookfair/ http://www.definitedigital.com/bookfair/style.css However, on Mozilla the blue border around the main content area with the Copyright disclaimer at the bottom of the page doesn't show correctly. On IE it shows just fine. I'd be really thankful if someone could take a look at my CSS. I'm quite new at designing completely with CSS and don't really know if the approach I just took is the best for what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks, Ralph I am having problems trying to set up a 2 columns inside an existing 2 column layout. The reason why I am doing it that way is because the 2 col layout is part of a template and most pages will be 2 col, but for some there is actually 3 columns, so I need to split the mainColumn into 2 columns. The problem is they are not showing up side by side. If I do display: inline; everything within the id displays that way and that is a problem. So here is what I am trying to accomplish Here is the css: Code: /*Main Section two columns under top section*/
#wrapper{
padding: 10px 10px 10px 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#sideColumn {
float:left;

Below is a simple test page that fails to load properly on the Mozilla browser. It appears to work properly in IE. Any suggestions to getting the span width to set properly, based upon the content of the span would be a great help. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Span test</title> <style TYPE="text/css"> .submenu { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #D4BA6B; border-top: 0px solid #000000; border-left: 0px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; min-width: 100px; visibility: visible; z-index: 1; } .submenuItem { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000; border-right: 2px solid #ff0000; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff0000; border-top: 2px solid #ff0000; font-family: "arial narrow", arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; position: absolute; z-index: 1; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; } </style> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function getWidth() { oSpan = document.getElementById("testSpan"); iWidth1 = oSpan.offsetWidth; alert ("Width1 = " + iWidth1); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body onload="getWidth()"> <div class="submenu"> <span class="submenuItem" id="testSpan">This is the item that I am testing today.</span> </div> </body> </html> I've been trying to find a "solution" that allows me to have a parent <div> (with a fixed position-centered) on a browser page, and have it contain multiple nested <div> tags. I want to be able to do this so it works on both IE and FF, as well MAC. Through several attempts I've utilized a background-image--but don't believe that is compliant with "all" recent platforms, etc. I've also been able to place the nested <div> tags but then shove the parent div's image down ... Does anyone have thoughts, links, suggestions or a quick example to toss my way? Thanks Much and Happy New Year! Des I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

Hey Guys, Hope you are all OK! I've been away abroad for a bit and now its back the the manic life here Has anyone got any good examples of creating pretty tables using CSS? I am ideally looking to to something that maybe has alternate colors on Columns and rows and changing colors where they cross?>!? or something equally as good for looking at data! Any links to examples would be great! Charlie Does anyone know of some good tutorials on how to use CSS rather than tables? If so, could you providea link. Thanks a lot. andrew **FIXED** Ok moving my site from tables to CSS in my spare time at work but im having some difficulty with height attr. Click me The Left and right bars - I would like them to go all the way to the bottom of the page. If anyone can help - please let me know! Thanks! Edit: Got it to work in Firefox just fine - but IE6 is still giving me problems. Edit #2: *sigh* needed to set body to 100% - man IE is bass-ackwards. Hi everyone, Dont actually know if this is possible (my css knowledge is way not what it should be!) Can I define a whole set of attriblutes for a table (fonts, links, hover links etc etc) and than just use it with <table class = "whatever"> etc and then that table will have all the properties I defined (for only that table, not for the rest of the page) if so how could I go about doing that. Any help is very appreciated! cheers For some reason the following HTML & CSS code do not render the same result as the code listed below it: CSS - Attached Style sheet Code:
td.style1{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-top: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
}
HTML Code Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="style1">Some content to display</td>
</tr>
</table>
HTML (Intended display) Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #AAAAAA;">Some content to display</td>
</tr>
</table>
Why wouldn't any browser follow the CSS in the stylesheet? Hello. I'm currently tweaking the layout of one of the websites I run. Every page on the site consists of a series of side boxes on the left and main content on the right and currently this divide is created though tables. I'm trying to replace the old tablular layout with a series of divs which are positioned with CSS. Below the header of my page is a content div, which contains two other divs, left and right. The rest of the site content resides in seperate divs in either the left or right div. I've managed to position the left div on the left hand side of the page and the right div on the right. However, the text in the right div is longer than the content in the left div and I'm finding that once the content on the left has finished, the content on the right is filling the whole of the page beneath it, when I actually want it to stay on the right and just leave the remainder of the left hand side blank. I've been trying to fix this for a while now and haven't managed to do so yet so I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some suggestions. I've put up a sample page of the layout at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/index.htm. Similarly, the CSS code I'm using is located at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/stylesheet.css. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate some advice. I've a feeling there's a really simple solution here, but I certainly haven't managed to find it yet. |
