CSS - Css And Tables Problem
Hello there, at the moment I have this CSS which I apply to a table cell by <a class='menulink' href='etc etc'
Code: A.menulink {
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
display:block;
width:138px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #666666;
padding: 0px;
}
A.menulink:link {
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
display:block;
width:138px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #666666;
padding: 0px;
}
A.menulink:visited {
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
display:block;
width:138px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #666666;
padding: 0px;
}
A.menulink:active {
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
display:block;
width:138px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #666666;
padding: 0px;
}
A.menulink:hover {
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
display:block;
width:138px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;
padding: 0px;
}
The problem I have is with the width:138px. If I apply this class to a cell that isn't 138px, it automatically goes that size. And if I delete the width:138px lines, then the class only works when you go over the word, not when you hover over the cell. So does anybody know how to change the CSS so that a width doesn't have to be defined so that I can apply the class to any size cell? Thanks Similar TutorialsI'm using what seems to be called a "liquid two column" CSS layout. Its a main column of 100% width left padding the width of the side bar. In the main column, I need to use table, but I'm stumpt on how to insure it doesn't extend beyond the right edge of the main column div. Can this be done? Since the side column is 200px, the main column has a left margin of 200px. So this means a table with a width of 100% actually extends 200px past the right edge of the main column. Playing with the right margin of the table seems to be the right direction, but just not sure how to make the table fill the space right, and work the same in bot FF and IE. Any ideas?

[edit] The purpose of the table will be to display row data from a DB. i have nested tables but table inside is inheriting properties from table outside. i have written classes for both tables in css and i dnt want inside table to inherit. what can i do? I have a problem with positioning elements on a page. It is no problem to position everything (text, header, logo's, banners) but somehow the div or table that contains the content of page does not grow when the contents do (it's the div/table with the white background). It is no problem to position everything exactly including the background table but then when the text grows longer the table or div ( I tried both and both give the same problem ) does not grow longer so part of the text is not readable anymore. Wierd thing is that when I only give the main div positions and not the text and images the div will adapt to it's contents but then I can't position my header as I want to. The page is located here and the css is attached to this post as a txt file. What did I overlook? I've searched the internet but I can't find anything. I'm trying to create a very simple navbar with css rollovers. I made one based on a tutorial on the macromedia website but it's not quite right (in Internet Explorer anyway) If you have a look here you can see what I want it to look like: http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolea...ieds/index2.php Now here is my attempt: http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolea.../whynotwork.php It looks fine in Mozilla but in IE the right hand side of the table doesn't exist (there is no 1 pixel black line). What have I done wrong? Heres the css properties: Code: .button a {
background-color: #e9e9e9;
border: 1px solid #333333;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333333;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
.button a:hover {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 1px solid #333333;
color: #CC0000;
text-decoration: none
}
Can anyone spot it? Unlike in the design I'm trying to replicate, I want to have 1px lines dividing the links. This works in the 2nd example except for the problem on the right. I really hope someone can shed some light on all this. Thanks in advance, Robert Hi Everyone. Apologies if this problem has been posted before or if it's simple - I'm very new to CSS! I'm having some problems inheriting text size from a class in a table. I have a table that inherits from a class (clsRoundCornersTable below) that specifies that text size should be 12px. This works fine except when I have another table defined within my original table which has text at the default size. I'm assuming that my sub table is not inheriting from the parent but instead is using the <TABLE> definition below but I thought that text size would filter down. Can anyone help???? TABLE { border-width:0px; border-style:solid; width:100%; text-align:left; } TR { border-width:0px; border-style:solid; } TH { vertical-align:top; border-width:0px; border-style:solid; } TD { vertical-align:top; border-width:0px; border-style:solid; } .clsRoundCornersTable { border:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; width:100%; background-color:whitesmoke; font-size:12px; } Hi, I am facing a problem while viewing tables in Firefox 1.5.0.1. Everything is fine till the number of rows are less than the table height. As soon as it increases the height, the scroll bard donesn't appear. Instead, it overlaps with the rest of the area. It worked fine in the older versions in IE, Mozilla and Firefox. But now it depending on the height, it hides the rest of the user area as it overlaps it. Can anyone help ? Thanks Hey, I'm working on a site (URL) and I am having some problems. I made a class in CSS: Code:
.middle {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-image: url(images/midtop.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
}
and am applying that class to the middle table. When I view it in IE, it looks fine, but in mozilla (I'm using firefox) it looks like it is positioning it at 0, 0 of the page, not the table. If I change background-position: 0px 0px; to background-position: 139px 0px; then it looks fine in mozilla, but not IE. Does anyone know how to fix this? (Or why it is happening) Thanks~ Hi, Please use Firefox and look at: https://67.18.220.222/~duoboots/secure/test_start.php Only on Firefox do I see scrollbars on the right white box. The white box is fixed width, and is supposed to expand vertically with the content. However, the white box does not expand as much as I'd like to. Eventually, as the content gets bigger, Firefox displays unwanted scroll bars. Then, if I simply press 'Refresh'... the scroll bars disappear, and Firefox displays the page exactly how I want it! Its really wierd because I can't test this properly. Once the page is refreshed, there are no scroll bars. But, a general user won't press Refresh..and will end up at that page eventually, to find unwanted scroll bars. I've tried it on Opera, and a friend said its definitely a Firefox bug. I am sure the <table> is causing the problem - because all other pages display fine. The scroll bars are only appearing on this particular page, with a <table>. Note : if you do not see scrollbars... then thats not a surprise, because Firefox is acting strange on this one.... I mainly see the scroll bars after signing in and accessing the actual PHP page that is dynamically generated. The above link is just a static version whose code I copied and pasted. Anyway, if anyone has had any similar problems with tables and overflow-scrollbars.. please could you let me know what you did about it? Some CSS: Code:
table.oa_results {
border: 1px solid #C9AA90;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 310px;
}
table.oa_results td {
border: 1px inset #C9AA90;
padding: 2px 2px 2px 4px;
}
table.oa_results th {
border: 1px inset #C9AA90;
padding: 2px 4px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
}
.whitebox_general_oa {
width: 387px;
background: #FFFFFF;
line-height: 18px;
overflow:visible;
display: block;
clear: both;
}
Thanks very much! 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 always used tables for my layout but want to change that to CSS. Problem is, I don't know how to get started thinking of the layout in css. I mostly make my pages centered with tables, can I do this with CSS? Does CSS use absolute position ? I was making a site with tables, but want to change that to CSS Know of any good tutorials (for people who used tables before) greets Hi, how can I draw these borders to a table using css? Thank you! Hi everyone, Dont actually know if this is possible (my css knowledge is way not what it should be!) Can I define a whole set of attriblutes for a table (fonts, links, hover links etc etc) and than just use it with <table class = "whatever"> etc and then that table will have all the properties I defined (for only that table, not for the rest of the page) if so how could I go about doing that. Any help is very appreciated! cheers Hi I would like to replace the tables that make up my page with CSS. I have a header, footer, left column and the main body. Do you know of a link to a tutorial that can help. Or perhaps you know the CSS code. Any pointers gratefully received.. I am curious how important it is to use CSS for tables these days? I am a more of a PHP developer but have been using HTML tables for my applications since I don't do anything fancy on the front-end. I am asking because I am planning to start work on an open source project. While the project itself is intended to be used inhouse for companies and not on the Internet, it would still be nice to know if CSS or HTML tables could affect it in positive or negative ways. Thanks. Hello all, I have a site which I am working on right now and there is going to be text on the right side, and 3 rows on the right which on the top there will be a page banner, on bottom, just a picture, and i want to repeat the background colors on the other side. Kind of confusing to explain but he brandyn.garlic.com/headstart/aboutus.html Thats a page on the site, as you can see, there is a blank spot where I want a background to repeat but the size will obviously vary by the size of the content on the right. If someone could assist me with that, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Brandyn Hello everybody, I am new to the forum and also a newbie to webdesign! I am hoping that somebody wants to help me out as I am trying to put the design of a table and the font used in CSS. I am trying to create a new table class out of: <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" class="tekst6" bgcolor="#E6373D"> (tekst6 = FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13px; COLOR: #ffffff; ) How do I do this? Many many thanks in advance for your help! Regards Buzzman Does anyone know of some good tutorials on how to use CSS rather than tables? If so, could you providea link. Thanks a lot. andrew After discovering Css and finally understand it...(still need to get better) I have to ask, when is it good to use a table? what are their main function ? is there things you can do with a table that cannot be done with css? thanks. **FIXED** Ok moving my site from tables to CSS in my spare time at work but im having some difficulty with height attr. Click me The Left and right bars - I would like them to go all the way to the bottom of the page. If anyone can help - please let me know! Thanks! Edit: Got it to work in Firefox just fine - but IE6 is still giving me problems. Edit #2: *sigh* needed to set body to 100% - man IE is bass-ackwards. Hello. I'm currently tweaking the layout of one of the websites I run. Every page on the site consists of a series of side boxes on the left and main content on the right and currently this divide is created though tables. I'm trying to replace the old tablular layout with a series of divs which are positioned with CSS. Below the header of my page is a content div, which contains two other divs, left and right. The rest of the site content resides in seperate divs in either the left or right div. I've managed to position the left div on the left hand side of the page and the right div on the right. However, the text in the right div is longer than the content in the left div and I'm finding that once the content on the left has finished, the content on the right is filling the whole of the page beneath it, when I actually want it to stay on the right and just leave the remainder of the left hand side blank. I've been trying to fix this for a while now and haven't managed to do so yet so I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some suggestions. I've put up a sample page of the layout at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/index.htm. Similarly, the CSS code I'm using is located at http://www.mybb-emods.com/new/stylesheet.css. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate some advice. I've a feeling there's a really simple solution here, but I certainly haven't managed to find it yet. |
