CSS - Tough One (i Think). Convert This Table Layout To Div's & Css?
Hi all,
Ooooohhh, I think I have a good one... I am trying to eliminate every single table on my site. I have ONE more page to go. http://www.bartlett-family.net/chri...cstrategy2.html is what the original layout, with tables. I need to replace it with a table-less version. I'm attempting that at http://www.bartlett-family.net/chri...icstrategy.html. I've run into a problem. Notice on the first page how S, D, H, & P are all supposed to be different colors. That works out fine when, like in the row for "8" all the items are the same (in that case, "H"). But it just won't work when there's any combination of H, S, D, & P. Have a look at my CSS and source. Can anyone think of a method to solve my dilemna here? Should I be using lists of some kind instead? Chris Similar Tutorialsright guys...this one is a bit backwards. I have a table as follows: Code: <table height=100% wieght=100 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td width=50%></td> <td width=760px></td> <td width=50%></td> </tr> </table> For obvious validation reasons, i need to convert this to CSS but keep the 100% height. Example of it: http://www.ridobusinesscentre.org.uk All help is welcomed. I am adding an <a> around an image within a floated <li>. Thing is by adding the <a> the image seems to have been "stretched" to take up more space in it's container. I do not know if this can be styled "back" or if it's more fundamental. It might be http://acdor.barleytwist-services.c...d=90&Itemid=205 in FFox firebug but here is the html: <div class="galleryItemBox"> <div class="galleryItem"> <ul> <li class="pic"> <p> <a class="advert" target="_self" href="http://www.barleytwist-services.co.uk"> <img width="170" height="170" title=" Advertisement" alt=" Advertisement" src="http://<mydomain>/images/stories/adverts/btsAdvert.png"/> </a> </p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> AND the CSS: .gallery{overflow:hidden;margin:5px 0 0 0;padding:0;min-width:400px;} .galleryItemBox{overflow:hidden;float:left;width:33.3%;} .galleryItem{height:180px;margin:0 auto;width:180px;border:1px solid #f0027f;} .galleryItem ul{position:relative;list-style-type:none;margin:0;padding:0;} .galleryItem li.title{height:15px;left:4px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;text-align:center;text-transform:uppercase;top:2px;width:171px;} .galleryItem li.pic{position:absolute;left:5px;top:5px;} .galleryItem li.link{position:absolute;left:4px;top:162px;width:171px;height:15px;text-align:center;} .pic p{text-align:center;} .clear{clear:both;} a.advert {color:#000;} Thanks for your time. Hi, the table is simple one as below. Code:
<style >
table {
border:1px solid #000;
}
</style>
<table width="200" border="1">
<tr id="header">
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr id="content">
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr id="footer">
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
what i try to do is to have a container which contains 3 sub container. By using table the footer can be positioned at the bottom of the page regardless of the length of the content. How do i rewrite it using <div>? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hello all, I'm pretty fresh here, but unrelenting confusion has driven me to attempt and find help with my particular question. I am sure there must be a tutorial to help me with this, but I've been all over and I think I'm getting cross-eyed just trying to find what I need! I have been trying to format a website header section using CSS. With tables, it would seem so easy; make a table with two columns, plop one image on the left, make a margin in between, and plop the other image on the right. But with CSS, I simply can't bend my head around it. It's driving me mad! The header is simply a rectangular logo, and a decorative image next to it, with a two pixel margin in between them. I've gotten the logo on there in its top left corner, but every time I try to get the decorative image to snuggle in next to it, it keeps wanting to sit UNDER the logo instead. I have been, to this point, a table designer and apologize if this is an incredibly simple concept with tutorial answers all over the web. Any links to these would be great too! Hi, I am very new to CSS and very confused. I wrote my site about 10 years ago using tables and have been working very hard the last few weeks updating the code to CSS and XHTML. I have a navigation page that was made as a table using an image to replace the bullet and act as the link. I am having a terrible time rewriting the blasted thing without using a table. The columns will not line up (I suppose I do not understand how to use the negative margin properly) and when I try to use the clear: left; code so my bullet image lays properly it will only clear the bottom of the previous column so there is a giant gap in between the links. I have no idea what I am doing. Here is a link to what the page looks like using the old code. This page will NOT validate, the code is old and depreciated but if you have a peek you can se what I am trying to achieve. www.medeaslair.net/myths.html. Here is what I wrote but I am afraid it is very long. I apologize in advance for how bad it is. CSS Code:

Hi all, I'm trying to complete my first table-less layout and I have run into a couple of issues that I haven't been able to solve. In the past I would have done this with tables and would have had no problem. Please help! See my fledgling steps below. Question #1: In Fire Fox I get big gaps between my header div and my main div and my main div and my footer div. This doesn't happen in IE7. What's up with this? Question #2: I would like my content div to expand to 100% of the screen. In the past I could have done this with a height=100% in a <TR> tag. How do I do it with CSS? Thanks a ton! - Andy P.S. I'm sorry if these are total newbie questions that get answered all the time.

im trying to make the switch from tables to css. I want to have a table with 2 colums so my css is as follows: Code: #mainbody
{
width: 800px;
border: #8FADB4 1px solid;
margin: 0 auto
}
#left
{
float: left;
position: absolute;
width: 325px;
background-color: #8FADB4;
}
#content
{
float: right;
width: 475px;
}
main body is what the whole code sits in, left is the left column and content is the right column. I then use the following code: Code: <div id="mainbody"> <div id="left"><p>left column</p></div> <div id="content"><p>content section</p></div> </div> the problem is that if i type a lot of content into the content section then the left column does not grow vertically, nor does the main body. How do i change this to act like a table where the column would grow?! thanks I am trying to layout a simple table in CSS and have numerous issues; the first and most confusing is why the computer header I am working on currently is not displaying correct. When I look at the computer style in chrome it shows that the height is computing to 31px which is correct but if I measure the image in Photoshop it is only drawing at 17px... if anyone could help I would appreciate it! I was going to post a link to the test page which has all the code cleanly displayed along with the images they use but I guess that is not allowed. I have copied the offending CSS code below. I use it by nesting one div inside another starting with table_head_left and working my way down. Code:
.table_head_left
{
background-image: url(fx/images/tbl_hl.png);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
padding-left: 14px;
height: 31px;
}
.table_head_right
{
background-image: url(fx/images/tbl_hr.png);
background-position: top right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
padding-right: 14px;
height: 31px;
}
.table_head_center
{
background-image: url(fx/images/tbl_ht.png);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-attachment: fixed;
height: 31px;
text-align: center;
}
Hey mates, How can I make this layout work (A table, 2 tr , 2 td in each tr, 1st td in each row has differen width than other tds above or below it. So basically the 20% doesnt work) I tried using class for each td but they seem to overwrite eachother. Any hints? Code: <table>
<tr>
<td width= "50%"> column 1 </td>
<td> column 2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width= "20%"> column 1 </td>
<td> column 2 </td>
</tr>
</table>
Please look at this page - http://www.jimstrans.com/diagnosis.asp I've been working hard to get this table laid out and would appreciate some help with something. If you look at the table in IE all looks just as I want it to look. Now look at it in FF and you will see that the text (in the paragraphs w/ class of "cellp" do not align with the checkboxes, but rather are pushed down 2-3 pixels. I guess I could live with this but would really like to know why they are not aligning at the top with the checkbox. Also, does the way I laid this out code wise look ok? Was it neccessary to use the <p> in the td? Could I have put an absolute position on the input boxes (top left), a fixed width on the cells w/ a left padding to indent the text? I'd be curious to know what you think? My current HTML looks like this... Code: <table width="90%" align="center"> <tr class="gen_small" height="25"> <td colspan="5"><b>Test Category</b></td> </tr> <tr class="gen_small" height="50"> <td width="50" align="center"><img src="./templates/images/forum_open.gif" border="0"></td> <td><b><a href="view_forum.php?f=1">Test Forum</a></b><br>This is a test forum</td> <td width="200" align="right"></td> <td width="50" align="center"></td> <td width="50" align="center"></td> </tr> </table> I have some ideas on how to get a similar layout but how do i ensure the distances specified by the widths are also kept intact? Hello, I have a perl script, and would normally do this with tables, but since tables are such a BAD THING ™ I've been trying to this with CSS, and I've spent too long on it thus far, so I'm looking for a bit of an assist Code: +----+-------------+--------------+ | id | date 1 | date 2 | | | | | +----+-------------+--------------+ what's the best way to accomplish this? --Ax What is your take on using "table-layout:fixed" property? I'm using tables strictly for data output, not for layout. Is it a good practice to use it? I know that there has to be a better way to do this than they way I did it with all sorts of "marging-left's". I was hoping there was an efficient way to do this without using a table or the table-layout properties. Code: <h1>Current Natoinal Average Rates*</h1> <p class="rateheader">Bus Types<label style="margin-left: 200px; ">Transfer</label><label style="margin-left: 45px; ">5 Hours</label><label style="margin-left: 45px; ">Day Rate</label></p> <p class="ratewhite">Deluxe Motor Coach<label style="margin-left: 145px; ">$230</label><label style="margin-left: 60px; ">$350</label><label style="margin-left: 60px; ">$735</label></p> <p class="ratepurple">Minibus<label style="margin-left: 220px; ">$175</label><label style="margin-left: 58px; ">$275</label><label style="margin-left: 62px; ">$600</label></p> <p class="ratewhite">Schoolbus<label style="margin-left: 205px; ">$120</label><label style="margin-left: 57px; ">$200</label><label style="margin-left: 64px; ">$400</label></p> <p class="ratepurple">Entertainer<label style="margin-left: 201px; ">N/A</label><label style="margin-left: 65px; ">N/A</label><label style="margin-left: 72px; ">$800</label></p> <p class="ratewhite">Executive<label style="margin-left: 211px; ">N/A</label><label style="margin-left: 63px; ">$600</label><label style="margin-left: 64px; ">$1200</label></p> <p class="ratepurple">Trolley<label style="margin-left: 227px; ">$360</label><label style="margin-left: 56px; ">$550</label><label style="margin-left: 65px; ">$870</label></p> <p class="ratewhite">Double Decker<label style="margin-left: 180px; ">$400</label><label style="margin-left: 57px; ">$600</label><label style="margin-left: 64px; ">$950</label></p> <p class="ratepurple">Van<label style="margin-left: 242px; ">$150</label><label style="margin-left: 57px; ">$250</label><label style="margin-left: 66px; ">$500</label></p> <p class="ratewhite">*Rates vary from city to city.

I have had so much luck using Code: <DIV> <ul> <li>Image Text</li> <li>Image Text</li> </ul> The problem with this is the text doesn't display properly - It either displays underneath the image, or if I use "vertical-align:text-top", it aligns the top line of the text to the top of the image and then displays the rest of the text underneath the image. Any suggestions would be welcome if there is any way around this? I have worked as a web developer for two years now, and yet I still have not found a satisfactory solution to the problem of table-less layouts. Table-less layouts always end up needlessly complicated or full of CSS and other hacks. Here is the challenge for you all. I have a very simple table layout with header, left nav, main content, and footer: http://brentonboy.com/misc-pages/layouttest.html I am trying to figure out if there is a way to replace the table with CSS stuff only while meeting all of the following requirements: Must be a simple solution with as few HTML elements as possible. Must look and behave the same as the example table. Thus: When the content area is taller than the left nav, the blue of the left matches the height of the content exactly, and the footer drops down nicely below. When the left nav area is taller than the content area, the green of the content area matches the height of the left nav exactly, and the footer drops down nicely below. The solution uses new HTML and new CSS only... not looking for a javascript solution or something else. Do not make use of CSS hacks or any other hacks. All code must be valid. Do not make use absolute positioning: in case I need to center it or do some other fluid thing later. Also avoiding relative positioning would be great too. Must work flawlessly in every browser, just as the table does. Basically, I don't think it's possible to meet all of those requirements, which means that layout tables are better. Please prove me wrong! 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! hi I am shifting to web 2.0 therefore learning a lot of things that I used to do with tables. Now I have a task to make a form and also display text in parallel style e.g Name User Name ------- Rating stars Email User Email ------- Balance amount to accomplish this in tables we might make two cells to hold Name, EMail in one and Rating and Balance in the second then in each CELL further rows and cells for each entity e.g Name User Name how can we display this kinda info using pure CSS? I found a website online http://www.compare-voip.net/viatalk.php there towards the bottom you can see how the email and rating stats are displayed in two columns, this is done with tables though I want to do the same with CSS only thanks in advance |
