CSS - Problem Positioning A Table Inside Another Table
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. Similar TutorialsHi, I have centered a table horizontally and vertically. To do this I put a table inside a table. so i don't want to use absolute positioning, as the position would change if the window size changes... My problem, with relative positioning, is that I can't figure out how to put my "some text" over an image -which is inside the table cell- in the exact position i want, without "collateral damage"... The collateral damage is that if I put the <div> tag inside the table (see example 1), it will occupy the space and as result the image wll be moved down and layout won't be centered vertically anymore... If I put the <div> tag outside the table (see example 2), as result there will be more occupied space at the top, and the layout isn't centered anymore... Here you can see the code i used for both example 1 and example 2: example 1: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 1</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:50px; top:50px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> example 2: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 2</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:200px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> thx for letting me know... I'm trying to vertically align two divs inside a table cell. I have the cell's vertical-align property set to text-top because I want the first div to be aligned at the top of the td but I can't, no matter what I try, get the second div to align to the bottom. Is there a better way to accomplish this without nesting tables or is this the right way and I'm just missing something? Hi I have a problem with tables and divs consider this table and divs: <TABLE> <TR> <TD> <DIV STYLE='hieght:30px'> text </DIV> <DIV STYLE='position:relative;top:-30px;height:30px'> text </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> if I don't put position:relative;top:-30px; inside the second div the height of table would be around 60px (you say) as expected but when I put position:relative;top:-30px;, I would expected to have my table shrinks to 30px not the same 60px because I put two divs on the top of each other. Obviously for one reason or another my assumption isn't correct. So how do I amend the code to get a correct height of table? Perhaps I can use tables in this way? Hi, Have a problem with a left-hand table, the content of which is dragged down the page when the right-hand table grows in the same direction, say when filling it with content. I need to anchor that left-hand table in place but allow the right-hand table to stretch vertically. Have tried absolute CSS positioning, spacers, extra tables, 100% height - nothing seems to work. I've simplified the HTML code for readability, but the general layout is pretty much intact: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <table width="668" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="49" colspan="2" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="667" height="49"> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="147" rowspan="3" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="147" height="147"> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="520" height="32" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="520" height="32"> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="24" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="520" height="24"> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="517" height="419" valign="top"><div align="center">RIGHT-HAND TABLE </div></td> </tr> </table></td> <td height="91"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="328" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="146" height="328" valign="top"><div align="center">LEFT-HAND TABLE </div></td> </tr> </table></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="482"> </td> <td> </td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Thanks, Dyb I'm trying to get a table inside another table which completely fills the parent table, but I cannot get it to work. The simple piece of code illustrates my problem. The red table is inside the blue table but does not cover the entire cell from top to bottom, but only the centre. I want this table to be streched. Obviously height: 100% doesn't work. Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
1<br>2<br>3<br>4<br>5<br>
</td>
<td style="background: blue;">
<table style="height: 100%; background: red;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: bottom">
Test
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Hello, I recently started creating websites again and I have been pulling my hair out on this Firefox compatibility issue. The site navigation looks great in IE but in Firefox a couple of the background images are skewed down and to the left. Since all my tricks from years ago are so outdated now, I decided to try CSS for a simplified navigation setup. The code is probably pretty messy since I chopped it together from numerous sources and still am not completely sure how it works. Background: I created a large 794x1200 PNG image that contains two complete border and navigation sets. I am using CSS to both position the appropriate portion in each table/cell as well as switching to a slice on the 2nd image set for rollover purposes. An example of the current test is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *not sure if this is okay but would be best to see the example. If it is not allowed as a non-clickable then feel free to delete. It is here - classtime . org / test6 . htm and the navigation image is he (URL address blocked: See forum rules) *classtime . org / navigate . png I would be eternally grateful to anyone that can help me figure out why the site works great in IE but is coming up skewed in Firefox. As a side note, when I pull up the site in Frontpage, it shows the left-most cell as being larger than it is supposed to be even though it is hardcoded. To get my left image bar to show up in the correct place I had to use a value of "left: -40px;" I'm not sure why that is but I suspect it has something to do with the problem. Thank you very much for taking a look. My jumbled code is as follows: Code:

I want to set up a table so that error messages appear directly above specific table columns in the form of a div tag with a red background and the same width as the column. To do this I've added a div tag inside the <th> element of the table, with the display property set to 'none'. Code: <th> <nobr>Header Content</nobr> <div id="error_message">Error Message</div> </th> When I want to display an error message above the table I use the following styles on the div tag Code:
background-color: #ffcccc;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: -100px;
z-index: 1;
display: block;
It displays the div tag above the header like I want, but it still stretches the height of the <th> element as if it was still contained inside of it. How do I do this without stretching the cell height? Hi, This is clearly a noob question but i'm just starting to figure out CSS as a better way to navigate & layout my page. I have nested a table inside a div to get a two column effect within the main content area. In Opera, Firefox, IE 5x for mac it works fine and the table stays within the middle section. On IE for PC it runs over the right hand side of the middle section and lays under the right hand menu. I imagine there is a way to get two column layout ysing just DIVS. . . I use my site for school, I'm a high school teacher & I teach some university coursework. My site is set up with three main divs: (heavily borrowed from Eric Meyer's CSS book.) sitenav : left hand nav_bar (for site-wide) entry : min content sidebar: Right hand sub_nav_bar (within this area) ----------------- div#sitenav {position: absolute; top: 2.33em; left: 0; width: 12.5%; font-size: 11px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid red; z-index: 10;} div#entry { color: #660; margin: 0 20% 1em; padding: 0 } div#sidebar {position: absolute; top: 4em; right: 0; width: 20%; font-size: 11px; z-index: 11;} ---------------------- http://www.mrplatts.com/pitt_tech/schedule.html any help? Thanks, Rich Why does GOOD VERSION, below, work perfectly, but the BAD VERSION fails (all browsers)? The only difference is the order of TOPIMAGE and BOTTOMIMAGE in the 2nd IMAGEBUTTON. How can I adjust my CSS so both versions work? GOOD VERSION Code: <style>
a.IMAGEBUTTON img.TOPIMAGE { z-index:1; position:absolute; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON:hover img.TOPIMAGE { filter:alpha(opacity=0); -moz-opacity:0.0; -khtml-opacity: 0.0; opacity: 0.0; }
a.IMAGEBUTTON img {width:150px; }
</style>

THANKS I need two scrollable div inside a table. Please help. Details: The div contains a table that should force it to show the scrollbars. This table inside the div has specific width(1180px). The div on the other hand should have its width set to 100%. As to why i'm using a table for the layout, i'm using a masterpage that uses table. Attempt #1 i set the div width to 1180px. This showed the scrollbar. But i don't want the users to be stuck to this if they have bigger resolution. Attempt #2 i added position: absolute; --> there are scrollbars but the 2 divs are overlapping HTML: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container
{
border: 2px solid red;
overflow: scroll;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
</head>

I have an HTML table and I am trying to use a CSS repeating vertical background for part of the table. It looks fine, but there is some small spacing that appears in IE (Not in Firefox) between image "links_background_top.png" and the div element. There is no spacing between the div element and the bottom image "links_background_bottom.png" Any ideas why this is and how to fix this? Thanks, Luis Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
#links_background_repeat { background-image: url(links_background_repeat.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 4px; width: 705px; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; top-margin:0px; bottom-margin:0px; padding: 0px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="links_background_top.png" width="705" height="37" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" />
<div id="links_background_repeat">blah blah blah<BR />blah blah blah</div>
<img vspace="0" hspace="0" src="links_background_bottom.png" width="705" height="18" border="0" />
</td>

After much trial and error, I have the following: Code:
<form>
<div1>
<table1>
</table>
<table2>
</table>
<table3>
</table>
</div>
<div2>
<table4>
</table>
<table5>
</table>
<table6>
</table>
</div>
</form>
div1 is has relative positioning and a bottom margin of 50px. All tables have a bottom margin keeping them apart. Regardless of how many tables there are in div1, div2 is always 50px below it. All tables in Div1 and the first table in div2 are generated by the system, subsequent tables in div2 are generated by the user clicking a button. If the user creates a new table, how do I position below table1? Will any newly created tables automatically appear below the bottom table in div2? Any guidance on this would be great. Code:
-- HTML
<div id="Dashboard">
<table id="Overview">
<tr>
<td>Cost <span>$10,710</span></td>
<td>Visits <span>51,907</span></td>
<td>Cost / Visit <span>$0.21</span></td>
<td>Conv. Rate <span>1.3%</span></td>
<td>Cost / Conv. <span>16.11</span></td>
<td>Conversions <span>655</span></td>
<td class="Detail">>></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
-- CSS
/* Dashboard */
#Dashboard {
border: 1px solid #b5bfbf;
padding: 2px;
}
/* Overview Table */
#Overview {
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
height: 50px;
background-image: url(../images/dashboard/overviewtable_bg.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
#Overview td {
padding-top: 8px;
padding-left: 5px;
border: 1px solid #b5bfbf;
margin: 0;
}
#Overview td.Detail {
width: 45px;
}
#Overview span {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
display: block;
margin-top: 2px;
}
so there is a DIV with a 2px padding on the inside. But when I check it in firefox, it isn't a 2px space between the outside DIV border and the border of the table. it is more like 1px space on top and left, 2px on bottom and right. I could put another div inside with a border to achieve that 2px spacing, but that just seems extraneous. I am not sure what the issue is? edit: screenshot: http://ricebox.whiteazn.com/tabpadding.png I am using a Body{...} style on my page (background set to black #000000) and DIV's inside Tables inside DIV's and when I set up and use a .14 (14px size and white color font syle class) my text stays black! The only thing that works is "inline styles". Not good for site wide-control. There is obviously a conflict here or something is superceding my classes. I prefer to use CSS for font control. I am using div's because of a "jquery slider" and tables because I usually design the look in photoshop and then use slices... not doing that on this site, but it's just what I'm used to. Thanks for any help. single page site is here "petermarsphotography dot com" Hello, I'm brand new to this CSS business, so please be gentle! I'm trying to place my AP Div objects inside a table so that their positions are relative to the edges of the table, rather than relative to the edges of the browser window. I'm guessing I need to somehow put the code for the table around the code for the AP Div objects, but I can't work out how it's supposed to look. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! I want to know how I could possible control all the elements inside a table that is inside a div with an id. This is possible correct? So if I have: Code:
#header { width: 900px; }
And then something like this: Code: <div id="header"> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </div> I'd like to then have something like: Code:
#header.table,td {padding-left: 10px;}
Which I am hoping would put a 10px padding on all the td's in the table and nothing else. Is my syntax 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 Is it ok to nest a div tag inside a table? It appears to work correctly. Thanks! <div height = 100% doesn't work inside <table> but if i change height = 900px, it works. anyone know how to fix it? see example code below. thx so much <table border = 1> <tr> <td> mesg </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div style='HEIGHT:100%; WIDTH:100%; OVERFLOW:auto'> <table border=1 width=100%> <tr><td>stuff</td> <td>more stuff</td></tr> <tr><td>stuff</td> <td>msg </div></td></tr> </table> </div> </td></tr> </table> Im trying to get an input field and form button to line up to the right of an <li> tagged menu and not sure of the approach i should take. I'd prefer not to use a table if possible, and the table im using now is a bit buggy anyway. this is a page with the menu as it shows right now.... http://www.seesawusa.com/products/ this is the page with the basic idea of what im trying to do http://www.seesawusa.com/pages/74/ Things i'v tried 1. put the form inside a LI tag.... This results in putting the search box below the list of menu items across all my test browsers. 2. put the UL and the FORM inside a table with 2 cells... in FF, i get the result i want... except the LI and INPUT field are not aligned to the right in IE6 & 7 I get it lined up the way i want it. But the table pushes the the height and width of the containing div to an unacceptable level I've seen this type of thing before and in my searching other sites i've only found complicated table based layouts that use it. Does anyone know an approach that would allow me to leave out tables, or at the very least only use one? Thanks for the glance. P.S. Interestingly enough, the page you are reading has a menu and text field configuration that im wanting to use, but it is very table oriented. |
