CSS - Set Border On Table Cell Without Changing The Size Of The Table Row
Alright, this is probably a simple fix but I can not find the solution anywhere. I'm trying to highlight a table cell with a 2px solid red border when it is clicked.
Is there a way to get this to happen with out changing the size of the cell? I hope this makes sense. Basically the cell is expanding by 1 px causing movement in the table. Similar TutorialsI'm having some problems with CSS. If you look at the pictures below, the first is a screenshot of what it is supposed to look like. It's how it looks in most browsers. The second one, however, is how it looks in IE 6 on Windows and IE 5 on the Mac. It is wrong. Correct look Incorrect look I want to know how to fix this. The little colored boxes are supposed to be squares and have solid borders on them. The shape is off and the borders are missing on the IE version. Also, on the progress bar, there is not supposed to be space between the cells but there is. There is also space between every cell on the page and there is not supposed to be any. Here is my main CSS: Code:
body { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
a { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; }
a:link { color: #003366; background-color: transparent; }
a:visited { color: #003300; background-color: transparent; }
a:active { color: #339933; background-color: transparent; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
table { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;}
td, th { border: 0px solid black; padding: 5px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; }
tr.one { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
tr.two { background-color: #DDDDDD; }
table.squares { border: 0px; border-spacing: 1px; width: 50px; height: 10px; }
td.square { border: 1px solid grey; padding: 4px; }
td.nopadding { padding: 0px; }
.default { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; }
.h1 { font-size: 200%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;}
.h2 { font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; }
.h3 { font-weight: bold; }
.step { font-size: 150%; font-weight: bold; color: #999999; }
Here is one of the sets of squares: Code: <table class="squares">
<tr>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #CCCC66"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #CC9966"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #990000; border: black"><td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #669966"></td>
<td class="square" style="background-color: #669999"></td>
</tr>
</table>
And finally, here is one of my progress bars: Code: <table style="color: white; width: 100px">
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px; text-align: right; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#222244; width:41px"></td>
<td style="padding:0px; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px; background-color:#666666; width:59px">40.7%</td>
</tr>
</table>
And in case that code is not enough, here is a link to the full HTML. According to this CSS test my CSS is not wrong. So does IE just suck? Is there something I can do to make it work in all browsers? My last question is, should I be using div tags for my boxes and progress bars instead of tables? I couldn't figure out how to make them work with divs so I just went with what I knew. Could someone give me an example of each using divs so I can learn how to make it work? Hi there! This might seem really basic but I don't seem to be able to remove the default border from a cell I created. The code looks like this: "<p> </p> <table align="center" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <div style="overflow: auto; height: 475px; width: 700px; border-style: hidden;"> <p align="center"> <img height="457" width="600" src="images/stories/vlkommen3.jpg" alt="vlkommen3" style="margin: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> How shall I do to hide the border? Thanks in advance! /Kristoffer I have a table with two rows. It has some very basic CSS - borders, padding, etc. In FF and Chrome it works exactly like I expect, but, big surprise, IE7 is causing me some problems. I haven't tested with any other IE versions. The first table row is a header with a CSS background image and some text. The second row is a basic content row. If I put just one text character in the cell everything is fine. If I put enough text in the cell that it wraps to the second line that makes the second row display about 4-6 pixels WIDER than the top row. Any ideas? I can send the source if you like, but it's a lot to take in. Thanks! Can anyone help me out with the following... I'm trying to create a table that, upon hovering a single cell, will increase the border thickness of that one cell, without increasing the thickness of other cells' borders in the same row/column. So far, my attempts have resulted in other table cells also getting increased border thickness, which makes the whole table move. Is there a way to achieve this for just the one cell? Adding border thickness just on the inside of the cell? Many thanks in advance! ZephSev I would like to set up a table with a different border than the cells inside it. Here's my code: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

That's all hunky dory in (gasp!) IE, but good browsers...they only show the lighter gray color. How do I get the table border to be different? I have a web page shell that loads various content into different cells. The entire page is essentially a table. I have 4 graphic overlays that I want to impose on each cell to round the corners. I've tried doing it this way: CSS: Code: .LeftPanelTable {
WIDTH: 182px;
border-style: none }
.LeftPanelCell {
WIDTH: 160px;
vertical-align: Top;
border-style: none }
.ActionOptionsPanel {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
border-style: none}
#soft_corner_ul {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif") no-repeat top left}
#soft_corner_ur {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ur.gif") no-repeat top right}
#soft_corner_ll {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ll.gif") no-repeat bottom left}
#soft_corner_lr {
background:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_lr.gif") no-repeat bottom right}
HTML: Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable">
<tr>
<td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
<div id="soft_corner_ul"><div id="soft_corner_ur"><div id="soft_corner_ll"><div id="soft_corner_lr">
This is the table cell content
</div></div></div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
However, I still see a faint border around the cell, which spoils the effect of the rounded corners. If I change it like this: Code: .ActionOptionsPanel {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
background-image:url("http://www.fourfreedomsblog.com/images/corner_ul.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom right;
color: #000000;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 12px;
border-style: none}
Code: <table class="LeftPanelTable">
<tr>
<td class="ActionOptionsPanel">
This is the table cell content
</td>
</tr>
</table>
then the border doesn't appear, but I don't know any way to do this with more than one image. Suggestions? Thanks... I'm trying to reduce the amount of real estate that a form and button are taking up in my table. They are expanding the whole row and lining them up with the other contents isn't working in the CSS methods I've tried. Finally I tried reduce the font-size of the cell containing the form and button (all the way down to 1px) which gives the desired result... but I'm a bit concerned about implementing it into all the tables in the site because it seems a bit 'hacky'. Is there a better way to do this? My Webpage You'll see in the first table, final column containing the button, that the button and form and pushed up against the top of the cell and the other cells now have more padding. In the second table, my "font-size:1px" has been applied and gives the desired result. Just curious if there is a better way to do this or if this is will be fine. 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">
<p class='instructions'>Click a column header to sort the table.</p>
<div spry:region="jdmba">
<div spry:state="loading" class="loading">Please wait while alumni data loads…</div>
<table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<th scope="col" width="108px" class="sortable" spry:sort="last" id="last">Last Name</th>
<th scope="col" width="106px" class="sortable" spry:sort="first" id="first">First Name</th>

</tr>
</table>
<div class="Overload">

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! currently i have links defined as a certain color and changes to a certain color when i hover over them.. i have a table which has these links inside the cells and when i hover over the cell, the background of the cell changes color but the link wont change color until i hover over the link.. is there anyway so that when i hover over the cell i can make the link change color too? the problem is i have some padding for the cells, so once i go inside the cell but dont hover exactly over the link, the background will change but the link won't until i hover over it thanks Hello, I need to place an image in the bottom right-hand corner of a table cell. How would I do this using CSS, keeping in mind that text and other goodies are already present in the cell? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks. hi all... i have a table cell "td" with 3 divs in it. what i need is to get it to align the top div to the top, middle div to the middle and 3'ed div to the bottom... this is all fine but i cant get to do that, and the auto increase height on the middle one dont work ? btw: this is for the IE style sheet, mozilla(firefox) works great.... frank/ Hi. I've got a question regarding placing an image within a table cell and using CSS to achieve a certain result. The table cell's width is determined at 530px, but the height is dependent on the actual length of the copy. What I'm looking to accomplish is have an image ghosted in the background of the text. It is supposed to appear in the lower right hand corner of the cell. I've already created the image with a transparent background, but it's not implementing correctly. Can I use a Z-Index style to achieve the item being placed under the text? Also, how do I make sure that the image is positioned in the lower right hand corner of the cell regardless of the height of the cell? Thanks! Simon315 Check out the following code. Notice how the dark blue cell has one thin layer peeping through right inside the black border of the outer table? I can't figure out why. What this should look like is a black border, followed by a border of 3 white thickness all around the light blue cells, as well as between the light blue cells. Fixing this peeping cell in a way in which it is sucked out is fine - but if you have a better solution as to how to make the white spacing 3 around the cells AND the table, with a black border, I will accept. Thanks Code:

hi all, i'm trying to make a vertical menu using CSS2 and XHTML. the problem i'm facing is that i need a DIV inside a table cell, which should take 100% width and height, and inside this DIV i will place arbitrary contents that scrolls if they overflows.

as you can see the "menuInnerContents" DIV isn't taking all the space available and the text inside it doesn't overflow. Help me please! hi, and thank for the help in advance. i was wondering if it is possible to make a table cell's top border different thickness versus the sides and the bottom. Hello, I have a table and I am styling its cells: table.Grid td {background-color: red;} Inside this table I will have some other tables but I don't want their cells to have the styles changed. I see two options: give a class to Grid table cells: table.Grid td.Grid {background-color: red;} Reset the changes in child tables: table.Child1 td, table.Child2 td, table.Child3 td {background-color: white;} But can I apply the following style: table.Grid td {background-color: red;} And make it only for the cells inside that table but not inside the child tables in this code line? ... without needing to reset the styles on child table cells or give main cells a class ... Thanks, Miguel Hi, This used to be my solution: Code: <table border=1 bordercolorlight='#CCCCCC' Bordercolordark='#FFFFFF'> But this only works well on IE - not Mozilla Now I want to use CSS: Code:
.results {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC ;
}
Code: <table class='results'> --------------- The problem is, with CSS, only the TABLE acquires the border property. The cells within it don't. If I specify Code: <td class='results'> for all the cells in the table, this also won't work, because the cell borders overlap each other and some border lines seem thicker than others (because of overlapping). Is there any simple way I can specify the border property for the table - in ONE declaration? I want the table and td borders all to be a simple 1px width ...is that possible in one declaration? Thanks a lot! Hello, I am using a series of nested ULs to display information in a kind of tree structure with some DHTML involved to make it behave pretty. What I am trying to achieve is to have the information in the LI elements well spaced apart, using <span>s. Since these elements are inline I cannot give them a specific width. A workaround that solves the problem in using the property display:table-cell and then I can give it a width. Of course this doesn't work in IE. Could someone please suggest an alternative way of achieving the following: Code:
<ul id="tree">
<li id="node1">
<a href="#">
<span>CB200801</span>
<span>02/03/2007</span>
<span>IPS20003</span>
<span>17.58</span>
<span>3.08</span>
<span>0.00</span>
</a>
<ul>
<li id="node2">
<a href="#"><span>12028077</span></a>
</li>
<li id="node3" >
<a href="#"><span>12046086</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
etc etc
and then I give the <span> the display:table-cell and a width. In Firefox this is giving me the visual layout I require. Can something be done to help IE? Thanks in advance Andy Hi, I have a HTML page linking to a CSS file in the header. My main table is defined using class="formBody". This includes: Code: table.formBody td {
border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
border-style: solid solid solid solid;
border-color: black black black black;
background-color: white;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
I need to override this on certain cells, so that a SINGLE certain cell will not have any borders (these will be cells on the bottom row, so the table will have the appearance of having half of its' actual width on the bottom row). Any ideas? I tried explicitly setting border="0" in the <td> tag and also defining a new class called "noborder" with border set to none, and then using <td class="noborder"> but neither of these work. essentially, what I want, is a table that looks like: Code:
________________________

Any suggestions on how to do this? hi all ! Im doing a calendar and I want to make the cell "TODAY" different from the rest. So far I have to sets: Code: .dayrow {
background: #FFF;
height: 20px;
}
And today Code: .today {
color:#007eff;
height: 20px;
}
And the PHP code that controls it: PHP Code: if($col==1) $xml.="\n<tr class='dayrow'>"; $xml.="\t<td valign='top' onMouseOver=\"this.className='dayover'\" onMouseOut=\"this.className='dayout'\" onClick=\"AfterDaySelected($cur,$month,$year,event)\">"; if($i <= ($days+($start-1)) && $i >= $start) { $xml.="<div class='day'><b"; if(($cur==$today[mday]) && ($name==$today[month]) && ($year2==$today[year])) $xml.=" class='today'"; $xml.=">$cur</b></div>"; Is there a way to overwrite the BG in dayrow with one I put in the today class? So all the days remain the same except for that one? Thanks a lot ! |
