CSS - Css: Table Cell Spacing And Cell Border Problems
I'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? Similar TutorialsHi 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 Hello - I am attempting to create a table of values that will have a relative style sheet that will contain a circle background image and number relative to said value. The numbers are only being added for during the creation of requirements to reference the values. The current procedure is to create the HTML, then take a screenshot of it, and manually in a photo editor (or visio) to go in and add the numbers. (So, if we have to add another value, I have to go back in and manually update the numbers and shift everything around). I figure this would be a MUCH better way, since I can just change the visibility on the style sheet and 'poof' the numbers are all gone :-), and when I need to do a screen shot, 'wham' their back again :-D. Here is an example of what I ideally want to achieve (created w/ Visio): Ideal Table Look However, here is what I am currently experiancing Here's the style sheet that I'm using Code: <style type="text/css"> div.number { visibility:visble; position: relative; width: 20px; height: 20px; z-index: 2; left: 5px; bottom: 35px; text-align: center; text-vertical-align: center; font-family: arial; font-size: 8pt; background-image: url(circle.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:0px -1px background:none; border-style:none; border-width:none; } </style> - All of the number/circles are shifted (which isn't a major problem I can probably solve the location issue myself), but the more important item that's giving me problems is the re-formatting of my Table. I would like to have the image/numbers 'hover' outside of the table cells. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Dave 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> <th scope="col" width="269px" class="sortable" spry:sort="account" id="account">Company</th> <th scope="col" width="66px" class="sortable" spry:sort="state" id="state">State</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hls_year" id="hls_year">JD</th> <th scope="col" width="82px" class="sortable" spry:sort="hbs_year" id="hbs_year">MBA</th> </tr> </table> <div class="Overload"> <table class="spry" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr spry:repeat="jdmba" spry:setrow="jdmba" spry:odd="odd" spry:even="even" spry:hover="hover" > <td width="108px">{last}</td> <td width="106px">{first}</td> <td width="269px">{account}</td> <td width="66px">{state}</td> <td width="82px">{hls_year}</td> <td width="82px">{hbs_year}</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> Here is my CSS file Code: a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: none; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } #News a:link { color: #00F; } #News a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } body { background: #000 repeat; } #wrap { background: #000; width: 900px; border: thick solid #9C0029; float: left; height: auto; padding: 0px 0px 1em; margin-top: 2%; margin-left: 10%; } #footer { font: bold small/50px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #FFF; background: #9C0029; text-align: center; height: 50px; width: 850px; margin-left: 25px; } #Header { background: #8F001C url(../images/banner.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 850px; height: 150px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-left: 25px; } h1 { font: normal 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000; text-align: left; } h2 { font: small Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #333; text-align: justify; } h3 { font: normal medium "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FFF; } h4 { font-size: small; color: #333; text-align: left; } .banners { background: #FFF0B2; width: auto; height: auto; font: 18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .5em; text-indent: 10px; } .Content { font: 14px/normal Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-align: justify; display: block; padding: 2em 3em 3em; } .Content a:link { color: #00F; } .Content a:hover { color: #00F; text-decoration: underline; } .Content a:visited { color: #00F; } #inner_body { background: #FFF; height: auto; width: 800px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 50px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: .5em; } #inner_border { margin: 0em auto auto; border: thin solid #8E887C; width: 775px; padding: 1em 0em 0em; } #nav_bar { height: 3em; width: 100%; margin-left: 0%; text-align: center; } #Content { height: auto; width: 95%; padding: 0em 0% 5em; margin: 2.5% 2.55% 2%; text-align: left; font-family: Verdana; } #nav { height: auto; width: 20em; } #News { margin-left: 2px; height: 30%; background: #FFF0B2; padding: 3%; } #News a:visited { color: #00F; } .Overload { height: 208px; overflow: auto; } .odd { background-color: #E8E8E8; } .even { background-color: #E8E8E8;} .hover { background-color: #FFC;} table.spry { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; } .instructions { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom:8px; } .loading { font-family: Verdana; font-weight:bold; font-size: 12px; line-height:20px; cursor: pointer; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:8px; color:#900; } table.spry th { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry td { border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; font-family:Verdana; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } table.spry th.sortable:hover { cursor: pointer; } table.spry th.sortable { text-align:left; color:#FFFFFF; background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/bg.gif) no-repeat 95% 6px; } table.spry th.ascending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarUpHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } table.spry th.descending { background: #8F001C url(../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif) no-repeat 95% 8px; } 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! 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 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... 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. 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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> TABLE {border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 200px} TD {border: 1px solid #ccc} </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> 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? Hey there. im working on a website project and want to remove the cellspacings.... Im working with mm dreamweaver and got this code from the reference which is buildin: "cell-spacing" but its not working... any ideas? Hi. Have created some simple tabs using table cells. Active tab should have bottom-border color equal to page background-color. Non-active tabs should have bottom-border=black. Works fine in IE, but does not work very well in Firefox. If I remove the border-collapse:collapse on the table, then firefox also work... but I would like to be able to keep the 1px border between each table cell. So is there a way to make this work in both IE and Firefox... and hopefully most other browsers...

I'm seeing a problem in IE on Windows. I've built a progress bar using vbscript and css, but the table doesn't quite display the way I want it to. Here's demo code: Code: <html> <body bgcolor="dddddd"> <center> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #000" width="100"> <tr><td id="pct_complete" width="50" bgcolor="black"> </td><td id="pct_remain" width="*" bgcolor="blue"> </td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html> Now I've set the border to collapse, but if you load it up, you'll notice a white line between the two. I think it may be the way ie adds a 3d appearance to the table, but I can't figure out how to overcome it. Any ideas? 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. 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: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .table1 { border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; background-color: #FF0000; } .table2 { border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #FF0000; border-collapse: collapse; width: 300px; } .cell1 { background-color: #0099ff; border: 0px border-style: solid; } .cell2 { border: 3px; border-style: solid; border-color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #95caff; width: 300px; height: 100px; } </style> </head> <body> <table class="table1"> <tr> <td class="cell1"> <table class="table2"> <tr> <td class="cell2"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cell2"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> 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. 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.

Thanks, Miguel Hello people I have a silly style-related question I am trying to render a simple HTML table The table has 2 rows on its left column and one cell on its right column (rowspan = 2) What I am trying to do is to cause the top-left cell to have a fixed height, and to give the remaining height to the cell below it (in the same column). This should work no matter how tall is the table Here is my snippet: Code: <html> <body> <table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50" height="45" valign="top" style="padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px;"><img src="graphic.jpg" width="30" height="40" style="border:1px solid red;"></img></td> <td width="99%" rowspan="2" valign="top" style="padding-bottom:5px;">This<br> is<br> the<br> content<br> of<br> the<br> text<br> on<br> the<br> right</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50" style="padding-bottom:5px;" valign="top">text under photo</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The code behaves correctly when viewed in Firefox 1.5 (see attachment screenshot) but when viewed in IE6.0, the top-left cell seems to ignore my height request... any help would be appreciated |
