CSS - Table-less Tables - Css Forms, 3 Columns
ok...This is driving me slightly bonkers.
I'm trying to do forms without tables. The issue is, I need a description sometimes, and I'd like to have multiple descriptions line up properly, as if they were in a table. Here's the stylesheet: Code:
/*
CSS Style sheet for BES OOP Forms
*/
.Form fieldset
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 0px;
margin: 0;
padding: .5em;
}
.Form > fieldset
{
border: 1px solid #009;
}
.Form legend
{
background: #BBB;
border: #009 solid 1px;
padding: 2px 10px;
font-weight: bolder;
margin:0;
}
.Form .Form_Row
{
border-bottom: 1px dotted #009;
margin: 0;
padding: .25em;
clear: left;
}
.Form .Form_Footer
{
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #009;
margin: -1px 0 0;
background-color: #EEE;
clear: left;
}
.Form label
{
width: 13em;
display: block;
float: left;
}
.Form .Form_Input
{
display: block;
float: left;
width: 20em;
}
.Form .Form_Desc
{
display: block;
float: left;
}
The issue is one of flexibility: as you can see in the attached images, it works fine as long as the .Form_Input is narrower than the 20em allotted. However, when the .Form_Input is wider than that, the description is placed over the end of the input itself, which stinks. IE does it "right", sorta, and just bumps the description over further than it really should. Any ideas? display:table, etc are out, because that doesn't work at all in IE. min-width solves the problem for Mozilla and company, but is ignored completely by IE. I really want to do this without tables...but damn. MPEDrummer Similar TutorialsHi guys! I am looking for the sort of solution ive listed below but i've played about using the <li> tags and cannot seem to pull it off. The sort of information I work with if I was to use this on a live role out would be rows of information with columns which is often alot of code and takes ages to load up hence I thought I would look into the CSS. I cannot seem however to produce something which would for eg be about 5 columns across and 10 rows down just for testing. I like to alter the row styles so that they can be distinguished easier as do many sites. Often for my information there are about 50 rows and that adds up to alot of download time which I would like to bring down. Anybody got any eg's or is it not possible? I am struggling with this one. Thanks in advance. All I want is a simple table, but aren't we supposed to steer away from <table>, <tr>, etc, and use CSS? If so, how can I accomplish: <--------200px-------><--------200px--------><---100px ---> if the text is too long it should just wrap and create a taller row. I'm working on generating a TOC with PHP pulling info from my DB. What I want to figure out is if there is a way to do columns with CSS without using a table? I read about the <multicol> tag that isn't supported ... it would have been perfect for my needs. The reason I was looking for something other than a table, is because I have a list of dates that look like this: 1859 2000 1959 2001 1999 2003 If I use the PHP script then it looks like this: 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 I don't want the change to cause too much confusion amongst our inexperienced users. Any suggestions other than tables? I'm mostly a PHP developer, & use CSS only intermittently, so forgive this hopefully simple problem: I want to put a series of boxes(with fixed width, but not fixed height) inside a bigger box. The inner boxes should proceed from left to right, from the top left of the containing box. When the width of the containing/outer box is reached, the next inner box should start the next row at the left inner border of the containing box, below the tallest of the boxes in the first row, and begin the second row. No different from ordinary text, where letters are like the inner boxes. If I set float: left; for the inner boxes, this works fine if all the boxes are the same height. However, if the last inner box in the row is shorter than the previous box, the next box that should start the next row at the far left will be placed immediately under the last box in the first row, then the second row will be started after that, under that. One point: these inner blocks will be generated by php, and only the data will be different between them; otherwise, they should all have the same style attributes. I can easily get around this using a table layout, but I'd rather not. I'm sure the solution is quite simple; much more simple than my explanation. To illustrate the problem, I attach some code below -- you can just copy it & paste it into an empty tst.html file and go. Thanks for any help on this seemingly simple problem.

Lately, I see articles everywhere telling us to ditch tables and use CSS to position forms. I don't necessarily have a problem with using CSS although I'm admitedly a bit new to using it for anything more than basics like sizing, color, borders and backgrounds. But my basic question is why ditch the tables? Tables have been around since the inception of html. They work with any browser you care to name and the provide a valid function allowing developers to position things on the screen in a pleasing manner. The flow of data in tables is simple, so the developer and usually the user can predict where the cursor will go when the user hits the tab key. There are certainly problems with tables, such as text wrapping or being truncated when the screen resolution is lower than the developer designed for and the positioning is not as clean as absolute positioning with CSS. Absolute positioning with CSS can lead to its own problems though. If the user has fonts set to a different size or odd video settings the size of the object positioned may not be large enough to display the text. This can cause object to overlap making the page unreadable. It may sound as if I'm just trying to hang on to the old way of doing things, and there may be a bit of truth in that, but more I'm asking for valid reasons to change the way I do things. I actually like finding new ways of doing things but there has to be a benefit to it. How will swithing to CSS layout instead of tables make my pages better for my users or easier to develop and maintain for me? I look forward to your responses. Hello, Im new to CSS, im wondering if its possible to write a CSS to display items in the same way as a table with 2 columns. for example: Code: <table width="438" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td width="93" align="right"><strong>Key:</strong></td>
<td width="325">Element</td>
</tr>
</table>
I am attempting to create a simple HTML table, but I need the first two columns to freeze, and stay on screen if the user has to scroll to see the rest of the columns. Can this be done using two tables, and only scrolling on the second one? Or is there a way to do this w/ CSS? *I know this is confusing, so if more info is needed, just let me know. Help! Could someone please have a look at the website I'm making at brandnewcommunicatie.nl/mall? Problem is: I've created a simple table to display text and an image next to eachother. However, the textcolumn is under the image. I'm posting it here, because I'm fairly certain it's a CSS related problem. Probably some value in my CSS that isn't right. I just don't see it, after staring at the code for hours. I'd really appreciate it if someone can figure this one out Hey all, a fairly simple situation which is driving me crazy! =p I have a table row which has two columns. Now using css I have set the row to have a background image like so: Code: background-image:url(images/newsmiddle.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y; } Now in firefox this works fine ( he content box has the image run through both columns as intended ). But in Internet Explorer on the second column the bg image starts again as if I had set the background image for that cell which is not what I want. Anyone able to help for an IE solution? Thanks Hi guys, I've got both long and wide table to be showed and printed. Customer would like that for scrolling, some left columns will freeze on the left (when printed, will be printed on every page), same for table header (fixed when scrolling, repeated on top of every page when printing). For fixed table headers, there are lots of tutorials, like: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/tablescroll.html And for printing, good browsers can repeat thead on every page (don't know how to achieve this for IE). But for columns locking (repeating for print), I'm totally stuck. Yes, some stuff can be found for scrolling, like: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/...column-csv.html But these solutions usually use JavaScript or are not cross-browser. Is there any way how to do this? Primarily for IE 6.0/7.0 not really sure what the problem is here so sorry if the title of the thread doesnt reflect the problem to well. So ive been trying to fix this for 3 days now and ive read tut after tut on tableless forms using labels and inputs floated left and i cant get it working. As always its IE thats causing the problem, ive printed the display of the 4 main browsers and usually if i have a css problem in IE its also in Opera, but this time its only IE. http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/4570/browserviews.jpg As you can see the two problems here a 1. the gender select is completely screwy 2. the second fieldset doesnt display below the first the 2nd im not overly concerned about, if i can fix it great, if not then i'll deal with it, it drops down to below the first fieldset if i shrink my browser window or increase the fieldset width so heres the code: HTML Code: <span>Fields marked with <span class="red">*</span> are not optional, all others are</span> <form method="post" action="register.php"> <fieldset> <legend>Login Credentials</legend> <label>Username<span class="red">*</span>:</label><input type="text" maxlength="30" name="username" style="width: 200px;" /><img src="images/t.gif" alt="unameinfo" id="unametip" class="info" title="Must be at least 3 characters long." /> <label>Password<span class="red">*</span>:</label><input type="password" name="pass" style="width: 150px;" /><img src="images/t.gif" alt="passwordinfo" id="pwtip" class="info" title="<p class='head b'>Must be at least 8 characters long.</p>While we do not enforce any password policies we recommend you always use a random password containing both upper and lowercase letters, at least 1 number and 1 special character." /> <label>Password Again<span class="red">*</span>:</label><input type="password" name="passagain" style="width: 150px;" /> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Personal Details</legend> <label>Email<span class="red">*</span>:</label><input type="text" name="email" style="width: 200px;" /><img src="images/t.gif" alt="emaildisclaimer" id="emailtip" class="info" title="We send any confirmation requests as required to your email.

the code does validate to xhtml strict and css using the w3validator (apart from the gecko and webkit border radious declarations ofcourse but i doubt that would cause an issue) any help appreciated Hello, I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

Thanks in advance for info how to stretch those doomed divs EDIT: Here is layout concept. URL hTTp://qsrc.pl/layout.jpg I have a table that is populated using Spry. For some of the users, the table is showing its' borders in white when there is no data in the cell and for other users (like me) it's showing its' borders in black like expected. This is occurring in IE8 for the user. I have IE8 as well. Here is a setup of my table Code: <div id="Content">

I'm only placing borders on the left and bottom so that in my detail cells the borders aren't doubled up. So for example when I have no data for the cell State, the left and bottom border of that cell is white rather than black. Any ideas? Thanks! 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.

Hi, I am looking to retrieve content from a database (that part I can handle) and then output it to the browser, but my css is poor. I want to create a two column format, which I am ok with using two div's in using absolute positioning in a relative frame, but that doesn't allow content to flow. I am looking for text that flows from the fixed bottom of the first column to the top of the second. If there is a way to do this, or anyone can point me to any resources, I'd appreciate it. Thanks I am trying to create a page with two side by side boxes, each coloured differently, and a third box, the full width of the page, directly underneath the other 2. The puzzling thing for me is that when I define the two side by side boxes as 50% each the left box will appear under the bottom box. If I define 1 of the boxes as 49.9% they appear side by side with a small strip between them. The other thing is that although I have defined margin and padding as 0 the boxes do not fill the width of the screen. Can anybody explain to me how to get the screen filled to 100% and the 2 columns to take 50% of the screen each. Here is the code: Code: .main_container{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
background-color:#FFF;
}
.left_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: left;
float: left;
background-color:#333;
}
.right_box{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 50%;
height: 400px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: right;
float: right;
background-color:#666;
}
.footer{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 100%;
height: 100px; //change to whatever size you wish
clear: both;
position:relative;
background-color:#888;
}
The columns work, however underneath the selected item, a gap forms. But only on the first 2/3 columns. Why? How can i stop it? Sorry about the messiness of the HTML code, it is dynamically created so readability in source code of page was not thought about! Sometimes you will be able to see it on my testing server. Screenshots for when my server is not online are attached.
