CSS - Borders Around Individual Cells In A Table
Hello,
I am working on a site and want to put a thin black line border on individual cells in a table with out putting a border on the whole table. Im not very experienced with css and would perfer to keep it simple. any info will help thanks Nick Carlevaris Similar TutorialsI am displaying data from mySQL in a table. I am having a problem controlling the width of the columns. I am trying to replace code like this: <td width="100px><?php echo $row_rsList['taskpriority']; ?></td> with a css style <td id='pcol' ><?php echo $row_rsList['taskpriority']; ?></td> where td.pcol { width: 100; } But when I display the table it seems to disregard the width setting. The only other table formatting I ahve done so far is this: table { margin:0; padding:0; } table th { vertical-align: baseline; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps; background: #CCCCCC; text-align: left; } Thoughts? My Goal: using an onmouseover, highlight the mouse-overed table cell red and highlight another table cell green. Code:
<head><style type='text/css'>
.cell1 { background-color: #cccccc; }
.cell1_over { background-color: #ff3366; }
#other_cell { background-color: #cccccc; }
</style></head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td class='cell1' onmouseover='this.className="cell1_over";' onmouseout='this.className="cell1";'>words</td>
<td id='other_cell'>more words</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
OK - the above code will change the first cell from grey to red no problem. What I want is to not only make the first cell grey but also the other cell turn green under the same onmouseover. How might I go about this? Thanks in advance! Here is what I am trying to do: <table> <tr> <td>left cell</td> <td>right cell</td> </tr> </table> I want to have the code so that the left cell is read first by the search engines followed by the right cell but I want the css to reverse the cells so that the right cell is shown first followed by the left cell. I have done this in IE by assigning the table element to position: relative and then using relative positioning to scoot the right cell to the left and the left cell to the right but this does not work in FF. I am using different stylesheets for different browsers so I dont need a solution that is cross browser compatible, just a solution that will work in standards compliant browsers like FF. Thanks for your help. Hi, I have the following code which is for a table. Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="A"></a>A</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="B"></a>B</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="C"></a>C</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="D"></a>D</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="E"></a>E</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="F"></a>F</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="G"></a>G</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="H"></a>H</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="I"></a>I</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="J"></a>J</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="K"></a>K</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="L"></a>L</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="M"></a>M</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="N"></a>N</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="O"></a>O</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="P"></a>P</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a name="Q"></a>Q</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> What I want to do is to have a black 1px border around the cells with the letters in, in A, B, C , D etc etc. I am hoping it is a CSS thing, but I only want it to apply to this table, not all the other tables on the page. Anyone know the easiest way to do this? Thanks Ok, so I'm making a website using tables and css since I personally hate using <div>. Anyway, it's going fine except for one problem. There is air between my cells. I wanted to show a SS of it, but apparantly I'm not allowed to post either links to the picture nor attach pictures to my thread, so I'll try to explain it. Now, the html code for the tables looks like this: Quote: <table class="center"> <tr> <td class="top"> <img src="img/top.jpg" alt="top" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="horizontal"></td> </tr> </table> The is air between my two cells here. My horizontal border wont connect to my top cell containing the top.jpg. The CSS code for trying to make the cells connect looks like this: Quote: table.center { width: 590px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-spacing: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; } tr, th { padding: 0px; } td.horizontal { width: 590px; height: 2px; background: #28847F; padding: 0px; } td.top { width: 590px; height: 91px; padding: 0px; } How come the two freakin' cells wont connect? with border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; in css i got border only around the table I want the border to surround every cell of the table as it is with <table border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" > how? Is it not possible to do the following? What is the correct way of aligning a cell if not? PHP Code: TD.theader { background-color: #D0D0D0; border: 1px solid #000000; padding:5px; horizontal-align: right; } is there a problem with placing div tags inside table cells. I have a need to do this and it works fine on my FF3 and IE7 but i am told this is bad practice. is there a problem and/or workaround to using div tags inside a table cell Hello, I am attempting to have two pieces of text within a table cell that also contains an image. I was able to figure out the first piece of text that I wanted vertically aligned to the top and to the left, but the next piece of text, which I want vertically aligned to the bottom of the cell and aligned right I am having issues with. Here is the example code: Code: <td style"vertical-align: bottom;"><img src="image1.jpg" border="0" width="195"><font style="position: absolute;left: 2;background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000;font-weight: bold;font-size: 18px;">STYLE#</font><font style="position: absolute;right: ;background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000;font-weight: bold;font-size: 18px;">As low as $x.xxfont></td> Is this possible within the same table cell as the image? Or do I have to place a CSS table within this cell to place text over top of the image? I would have placed the image as the cell background image, however, I am dynamically creating these tables, and not all of my images are of same size. I am specifying the width though, just not the height. Thank you in advance. I'm building a table (for tabular data, of course) and need text within cells centered. However, applying "text-align:center;" to the cells in any other way but inline styles doesn't work. For example, this does not work: Code: td.centercell {
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td class="centercell">Hi!</td>
<tr>
</table>
But this does: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;">Hi!</td>
<tr>
</table>
I'd rather not have to put inline styles on every single cell I need centered, as this is most of them. What's going on? I am developing a PHP/CSS database application built for Safari and have run into a very nasty bug. (Aside: the web application I am building is sort of browser-specific... we are an all-Mac company, so we want people to use Safari. [I'm not even trying to make it work with IE5/Mac. Screw that.] But having said that, I'd also like it to work in IE6/Win and Firefox [Mac/PC] to give people at least a few more options, like if they're on their PC at home... whatever. Just thought I would explain that before I get flamed by those who think I'm crazy for going that route.) Anyway, I'd like to have tables with cells/columns that are hidden on the screen but visible on printouts and vice versa. But I've discovered that using display:none for table cells in the print style sheet crashes Safari. It does not affect span tags within table cells. This will crash Safari. Code: td { display: none; }
This is okay. Code: td span.printhide { display: none; }
This is also okay, but why do this if it's still going to take up the space on the page? Might as well just leave it. Code: td { visibility: hidden; }
Now, I've found a workaround that works, but it's a pain. Basically, instead of setting it up like a normal table, like this: Code: <table> <tr> <td>Cell</td> </tr> </table> You have to set it up like this: Code: <span class="table"> <span class="row"> <span class="cell">Cell</span> </span> </span> As long as you give those span tags their respective display attributes, this works when you set this in your print stylesheet, for example: Code: span.cell { display: none; }
But the big problem with doing it this way is that you're now completely handcuffed to the stylesheet. At least if the style sheet bonks the old way, you still have a table with tabular data in it. Plus, say if the next version of Safari fixes this problem, then you'd have to go back and fix it on every page that uses these span tags in order to "unlock" the handcuffs, which kind of nullifies the purpose of style sheets in the first place. So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows of a workaround that I can use that does NOT involve converting my <table><tr><td> to <span><span><span>? Thanks for reading. Hello, I posted this in the HTML forum too but didnt get any replies so maybe people in here know it. When you have a table cell with a width of 20%, and you put a very long string in it. Let's say 255 chars long, without spaces in between. The cell will then expand beyond the 20% that was specified. How can you prevent this and make sure the string is broken down and goes further on a next line in the cell when the 20% width is reached? thanks in advance I'm fighting with this for a while now. I want to change my table layout into div based one, but keeping all the positive features of table design. The layout is based on percents and em (the liquid philosophy) The problem: Make div resize like table cell with minimal width equal to width of widest unbreakable element. I don't want my "verylongunnecesaryword" stick out of menu div nor dissapear partaily when resizing the window. I basically want the menu to always stay wide enough to accomodate the longest word and resize dynamically with window and fonts. There is no such problem when using tables, cells automatically resize to fit content and never become so small that content sticks out or disappear. Setting the min-width with either em, px nor percent is a no go, because it's impossible to tell what size will the biggest element be. No javascript either. Also keeping it IE6 complaint would be good. I still think that tables are the best idea and unless someone shows me how to fix this problem with div and css, I'm just sticking with tables till the end of world. shortened HTML: Code: <div class="menu"> menu here </div> <div class="contents"> the rest of page </div> shortened CSS: Code: .menu
{float: left;
width: 20%;
padding: 1%;
}
.contents
{float: left;
padding: 1%;
width: 76%;
}
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'd like to have a class in my style sheet that gives a table a 1 px border, something like this: Quote: <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="100%">test</td> </tr> </table> But I'm unsure how to do it. I am trying to make a nice thin border around a table and all the table cells. It need to work on both windows and macs... If I add this to my table tag [ style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#808080" ] it give me a nice border in IE, but not so great on a mac (big and thick). I also want to be able to add it into a style sheet and just add the style tag to the table, but I can't seem to get any of it to work. Anyone have any examples or advice? Thanks! While styling table I would like to have black row border all the way, but currently cell borders (grey) overlay them (1px, but still) - like in the image: Bellow is my css. What do I change? Thanks. Code: .list_f {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;

border-collapse: collapse;
empty-cells: show;

I am learning CSS and wish to put a border around selected tables using the following code: table.sidebar { border: 2px black; padding: 50px } Something similar to this code was working OK earlier today, but now it won't. The cell padding command works, but other tags like border, width, etc., are not. I have tried disabling all other table styles in the CSS. Any ideas? I am using MS FrontPage 2002. Also, whys is it that when I apply a style to a table, like the one above, FrontPage puts in the following HTML code: <table class="sidebar" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> If I go to remove it to <table class="sidebar"> all of the formatting is lost. Seems like this is defeating the whole purpose of CSS Thanks, Keith Hi all, http://www.zitrote.com/forum/index.php?act=viewforum&f=4 if you see there in IE the two borders on the right dont appear in the topic listing but in FF they do?? Hey guys. At the moment i have made a 100% colored table. What i am trying to do is add a 1px colored border to the top of the table and a 2px colored border to the bottom of the table. Ive tried several different approaches but i never get the result i am looking for. Can anyone help me out with this? Here is my code: Quote: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr bgcolor="#000033"> <td align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><b><font color="#FFFFFF"> <a name="top">Tiffany and Co Neckless and Braclet Set</a></font></b></font></td> </tr> James |
