CSS - Table Column Width Determined By Css, But Not Row Width?!?!
Hello,
(please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy Similar TutorialsHi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... Hey, So I have a three column layout being implemented as such: html: Code:
<div class="content">
<div class="col1 column"></div>
<div class="col3 column"></div>
<div class="col2 column">
<div class="header">Header</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS: Code:
.column {
padding: 10px;
position:relative;
}
.header {
background:#cfe6f5;
color:#416383;
font-size:11px;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:300;
padding-left:15px;
}
.col1 {
float: left;
width:250px;
}
.col2 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.col3 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}
The problem is that the width of the header div extends all the way to the left and right of the page when it's in the middle column, but behaves the way I want it to (extends to the left and right of the column) when it's in the left or right column. Any ideas? Thanks. --Surgery Hello, I am having difficulty with the center column on the following page: http://cbo4edu.org/index2.html I want to widen the center column so that the CBO NEWS heading touches the blue line which divides the center and right column. When I try to add width to the style sheet the left column moves out of alignment. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Hi guys, This is another standard "why won't it work in IE"-post. I'm making a multi-column news-style site (<spam>first link in my signature</spam>), and IE screws up the widths. The layout is basically three .col's which are floated left, and a #menu on the right. Here's the relevant css: Code:
#menu
{
float: left;
margin-left: 0%;
width: 20%;
line-height: 120%;
padding: 2%;
font-size: larger;
}
.col
{
float: left;
width: 24%;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
.col ul{
list-style-type: none;
padding-left: 0;
}
.col .story{
background: #F5F8ED;
padding: 0 ;
margin: 1%;
border: 1px solid #71804D;
color: #333;
text-align: justify;
}
Here's some example html: Code:
<div class="col">
<ul>
<li class="story">
<p class="story_title"> story title </p>
<div class="story_body">
<p>blah blah</p>
</div>
<div class="sub">
<p>stuff</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col">
<ul>
<li class="story">
<p class="story_title"> story title </p>
<div class="story_body">
<p>blah blah</p>
</div>
<div class="sub">
<p>stuff</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col">
<ul>
<li class="story">
<p class="story_title"> story title </p>
<div class="story_body">
<p>blah blah</p>
</div>
<div class="sub">
<p>stuff</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<div id="menu_title">
<h1> title </h1>
</div>
<ul id="navbox">
<li> ... </li>
</ul>
... etc
</div>
The problem is that IE renders the .col's very narrowly, and has some major space vertically between them. This means that #menu gets pushed down below the .col's. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this width issue? Thanks, Simon I've been designing a template for my phpBB install to make it integrate with my site better, and what I have so far I like, but I noticed one small problem. I'm not sure if it's a bug in mozilla or what the cause is, but at random times my Author details column will take up 100% of the screen with, when it's defined via css to only take up 12%. A simple reload is all that is required to fix it, but it can be quite annoying when it happens. The problem only seems to happen on the post view, which is available he http://kicken.mine.nu:8008/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4 It seems I have more luck getting it to happen if I start clicking around between the Home page and the post view, or from the index to a post view. I havn't had access to any browser other than mozilla to check things in either, so I'm not sure what results will show in other browsers. Hello all, I am implementing a 2 column fixed width template. The problem is that the smaller column does not stretch to match the height of the taller column. All of the online templates I have found remedy this problem by setting a 1 px high background image to span the width of the container div. My problem is that I would like to place an image at the top and bottom of the smaller column. How can I achieve this? I've been working on a CSS style for a web site, and I've got a small issue with the right hand column not staying within the bounds of the screen. When using a tool to see where the div's borders the right is about 200 px going off the right of the screen, making the screen horizontally scrolling. I am not a CSS expert. I know enough to get around, but this I don't understand. (I might have posted too much, but I figured if someone needed something more, it's already all there.) Thanks for any assistance that can be provided. HTML Code:

Currently I have 2 fixed columns and a fluid center column. When I resize the window horizontally I want the columns to stay fixed until the center column will begin to overlap the side columns, at which point I'd like the side columns to begin fluidly squashing to accommodate. Is it possible to do this? Only thing I know of is max-width, but I'm not sure if that's correct as I've never used it before. Any help would be VERY appreciated guys, as I need to know this quite soon. -Luke Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? Hi everyone! i have this mockup in fireworks for my personal site.. problem is... i cant put it together the way i like it using CSS here is my mockup and the slices ive made... http://www[dot]phpugph[dot]com/talk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8005.0;attach=1720;image im sorry for the link... i cant seem to post a proper one do u guys know how i should go about it? the middle column should be fixed width but the right and left column should be fluid thanx I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? I need a combination of this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fixed.php and this: http://bonrouge.com/3c-hf-fluid.php I need the middle column to be a fixed width and the outer two to be fluid. I also need to maintain the 100% with header and footer at top and bottom respectively. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks. Hi, I have a multi-column layout where I want every column to always be the same height. Any one of the columns may be the longest on any given page, so the other columns have to automatically adjust to match that height. Usually I'd just use the faux column technique where you repeat a background image, but that won't work because of two elements on this page: 1. each column has a border all the way around it. 2. one column resizes with the page. I've read the articles on liquid layouts with faux columns, but as far as I can tell those techniques won't work if your columns have borders. Does anyone know any technique that would work here? Thanks. Alrighty, I'm trying to produce a layout similar to that of what is shown in the attached image. Please ignore the image being the rainbox colors, but I had to differentiate sections. I can get the banner/search line to appear properly, but the rest will not. Left menu gets positioned fine, the content does as well (more or less), but the right column is displaced, and shifted down to the very bottom of the window -- far right, though. I can't explain much better than that, so without further ado: CSS: Code: .columns-float{
float : left;
width : 80%;
}
.column-one
{
width : 75%; /* NOTE: This needs to be dynamic! THIS is what I'm
inquiring about. The above problem assumes this attribute
is set to "auto". */
float : right;
}
.column-two
{
width : 25%;
float : left;
}
.column-three{
width : 20%;
float : right;
}
.box-footer{
clear : both;
}
.column-one-content{
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
}
/*Hack below:*/
.box-wrap, .columns-float, .column-one, .column-two, .column-three, h2{
p\osition: relative;
}
(Above was borrowed from here, albeit with modifications.) HTML: Code: ... <div class="columns-float"> <div class="column-one"> <div class="column-one-content"> <h2>column 1</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="column-two"> <div class="column-two-content"> <h2>column 2</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="box-clear"> </div><!-- # needed to make sure column 3 is cleared || but IE5(PC) and OmniWeb don't like it --> </div><!-- close boxbody --> <div class="column-three"> <div class="column-three-content"> <h2>column 3</h2> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p>column filler</p> <p><a href="#" title="fake link for testing">test link</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="box-clear"> </div><!-- # needed to make sure column 3 is cleared || but IE5(PC) and OmniWeb don't like it --> <div class="box-footer">Footer </div> Do not link me to Position Is Everything. Been there already, and it wasn't helpful; the used terminology was too abstruse for me. Any help would be appreciated, and I thank you very much for your time. This is driving me batty. Hi all, I'm trying to achieve the following: <div id="left">This column is of blue background, and stretches all the way to the left.</div> <div id="center"> THIS COLUMN IS FIXED WIDTH, 760px </div> <div id="right">This column is of red background, and stretches all the way to the right.</div> Hope that is self explanatory.. I've Googled all this but can only find solutions for fluid "center" columns with fixed width right/left columns. I'm trying to do the opposite. Could anyone let me know how I can do this? I've got some messy CSS that definitely needs to be corrected, I'm trying out different things so here's my 'trial& error' code: Code:
#left {
background-color: blue;
float: left;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
}
#center {
background: #DFDFEB url(../images/body/top.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#right {
background-color: red;
}
Thanks in advance! I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html I have a textarea in a <td>which asks for users for some description. If users enter text and don't use any space or enter, the width of the table gets bigger and bigger and damages the pages design. What can I add (to td.fixed_width css for example )to make the line break after the width of the table is reached??? There is a solution that I put a div in td and then Code: #desc {
width:"100%";
width::fixed;
overflow:scroll;}
but it is not exactly what I want |
