HTML - Table Help: Table With No Spacing Whatsoever? (image Included)
Here is an image depicting the trouble I'm having:
I want to make a table, consisting of many cells. These cells would be fixed, and *very different* in sizes. It's easy to make a no-space table when all the images are exactly the same size, but when you have images with a variety of sizes, the table doesn't fit perfectly. Basically I want to create a collage of images with overlay text on each image. My idea was that I could create a table, and each cell (td) would have a background which is the image. Then I could just type in that cell, so the text would be over the image. Then I'd do this for every one of my images, and a collage would be formed. The problem is, the table makes large white spaces wherever the image sizes don't match! How do I get rid of these spaces, or is there an entirely different code/approach I should be using? Thanks! Here is my current code: HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table.nospace {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.nospace tr {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
table.nospace td {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<TABLE class="nospace" width="2040px" height="2000px" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px">
<TR>
<td valign="top">
<table><tr>
<TD WIDTH="800px" HEIGHT="800px" BACKGROUND="image.jpg" VALIGN="bottom">
<h1><FONT COLOR=#ffffff>text</FONT></h1>
</TD></tr></table>

Hi, I have a fine gray line around the logo. This is not the border of the table it’s the gray bgcolor. I and other HTMLers try to find the reason of this bug but failed. Can you help? You see the style.css and try to find the reason (please do not give vague answers, please look in the code and in the css) tnx Can anyone tell me why? Not sure what is going on here...

Hi guys & girls, I've got a table nested within a table row. There's a small gap I can't close at the top of the table (see image, attached). Within the table I have cell padding, but it's much more dramatic than I want at the top and bottom. Is there any way to fix these problems with HTML and inline CSS (it's going to be an HTML e-mail). This is for a client and due tomorrow, so any help would be awesome. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks in advance for your help. I'm doing a web page that I would like to be viewed on 1024 resolutions without a horizontal scrollbar. It will contain images that are exactly 980px wide. The problem is that with ie7, as soon as it contains a div or a table, no matter what I do to try to remove all padding,margins,etc.. it adds 2px for each element (I guess 1px for each side). Below is some html as an example of my problem, where I've tried to remove everything I can think of... this works fine in firefox 3 <body style="width:998px;margin-top:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;padding:0;"> <div style="width:100%;textalign:center"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:998px;border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;margin:0;border:0;"><tr style="padding:0;margin:0;border:0;"><td style="padding:0;margin:0;border:0;">sdfsdfd</tr></td></table><div style="width:100%> </body> Hi, I am designing my first website by teaching myself HTML using google, etc, so I am very new to designing from scratch (without using Dreamweaver, etc). My webpage is not online yet, so I can't post a link - sorry! First, I am using .png image files which look great in Google Chrome, but when I check my page in IE, the images look horrible - very pixelated. Why is that, and is there a way to fix them? My only thought would be to use a "smoothed out" image such as a .jpg, however that might make the problem even worse. Second, I am using frames and in my main frame I'm using a table with text on the left column and an image on the right column. Again, in Google Chrome it looks great with the text at the very top of the frame/table, but in Firefox, there is tons of space at the top of the table which makes the text too "tall" for the window, and a scroll bar is necessary. I hope I've explained this properly and would greatly appreciate your help - I have many more questions as well! Thanks so much, Kristen I am having some trouble and just can't figure it out. Please look at http://katopia.com/clientfiles/vineandsun/ and see the gaps under the two images of the woman on the right (you can see the gaps best in IE). What is going on? I've told the table cell to be the exact same size as the image. I'm using CSS, too, but I just am not seeing where I went wrong. Thanks for the help! I made my layout in photoshop, then divided it into pieces as I always do in order to insert the individual pieces into a table. My table has no borders, no cellspacing, and no cellpadding. Everything is aligned perfectly, but when I changed one of the images to an image map, the alignment with that particular image was off. Is there any reason why this may be happening? i have an image that is a background tspo a table. if i try to add another table row, the table expands, and a white space is added. In dreamweaver it seems that there is enough space, but in other browsers, it shows the expanded table. is there a code that makes table absolute or should i strictly define the height and width of table to expand so that it does not expand to show extra white space Hi guys, this is the site: http://eksow.com/ This the the source code for it: Quote: <html> <head> <title>Eksow Event Design & Management</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- // copyright 1999 Idocs, Inc. http://www.idocs.com/tags/ // Distribute this script freely, but please keep this // notice with the code. var rollOverArr=new Array(); function setrollover(OverImgSrc,pageImageName) { if (! document.images)return; if (pageImageName == null) pageImageName = document.images[document.images.length-1].name; rollOverArr[pageImageName]=new Object; rollOverArr[pageImageName].overImg = new Image; rollOverArr[pageImageName].overImg.src=OverImgSrc; } function rollover(pageImageName) { if (! document.images)return; if (! rollOverArr[pageImageName])return; if (! rollOverArr[pageImageName].outImg) { rollOverArr[pageImageName].outImg = new Image; rollOverArr[pageImageName].outImg.src = document.images[pageImageName].src; } document.images[pageImageName].src=rollOverArr[pageImageName].overImg.src; } function rollout(pageImageName) { if (! document.images)return; if (! rollOverArr[pageImageName])return; document.images[pageImageName].src=rollOverArr[pageImageName].outImg.src; } //--> </SCRIPT> <!-- ImageReady Slices (Untitled-1 copy.psd) --> <Center> <table id="Table_01" width="1024" height="769" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="6"> <img src="images/Eksow_01.jpg" width="1024" height="261" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="4"> <img src="images/Eksow_02.jpg" width="65" height="507" alt=""></td> <td> <A HREF="#" onMouseOver = "rollover('left')" onMouseOut = "rollout('left')" ><IMG SRC="http://eksow.com/images/Eksow_03.jpg" NAME="left" ALT="Home Page" BORDER=0 ></A> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- setrollover("http://eksow.com/images/Rollover_1_03.jpg"); //--> </SCRIPT> </td> <td colspan="2"> <A HREF="#" onMouseOver = "rollover('middle')" onMouseOut = "rollout('middle')" ><IMG SRC="http://eksow.com/images/Eksow_04.jpg" NAME="middle" ALT="Home Page" BORDER=0 ></A> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- setrollover("http://eksow.com/images/Rollover_2_04.jpg"); //--> </SCRIPT></td> <td> <A HREF="#" onMouseOver = "rollover('right')" onMouseOut = "rollout('right')" ><IMG SRC="http://eksow.com/images/Eksow_05.jpg" NAME="right" ALT="Home Page" BORDER=0 ></A> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- setrollover("http://eksow.com/images/Rollover_3_05.jpg"); //--> </SCRIPT></td> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="images/Eksow_06.jpg" width="78" height="491" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"> <img src="images/Eksow_07.jpg" width="881" height="262" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <A HREF="#" onMouseOver = "rollover('bottom')" onMouseOut = "rollout('bottom')" ><IMG SRC="http://eksow.com/images/Eksow_08.jpg" NAME="bottom" ALT="Home Page" BORDER=0 ></A> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- setrollover("http://eksow.com/images/Rollover_4_08.jpg"); //--> </SCRIPT></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/Eksow_09.jpg" width="567" height="8" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/Eksow_10.jpg" width="21" height="8" alt=""></td> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/Eksow_11.jpg" width="371" height="8" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="65" height="1" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="292" height="1" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="275" height="1" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="21" height="1" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="293" height="1" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="78" height="1" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </center> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> </body> </html> Here is what I'm trying to accomplish, but have no idea where to start from... 1.

I'm dealing with tables within tables..within tables. In one instance, I have a 2x1 (row by column) table inside another table. So, we'll call the inside table "B" and the outside table "A". Table B is centered inside a column in Table A. I'm trying to maximize the space, but nearly nothing works. Setting Table B height=100% does nothing. The only thing that works is setting the height=N px, where N is a number. This is no good, as I want to the site to work on all resolutions. I want it to be proportional. How can I fix this? Here's what I'm dealing with, visually: Any help would be welcome. Thanks. The table itself is working fine, but the size of each cell is not correct in Firefox. Here is a screenshot of what is happening: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1938/tabletroubles.gif Here is the head of my page, the css for the table is he HTML Code:
<style type="text/css">

1. I want to center each column so that the first letter of each book title is lined-up, but that the longest title on each column has equal space on both left and right. 2. If you look at each column, the width is about 245px. With regard to the first book title in the first column, I have 50px that is extra, therefore I'd like to automatically add 25px to the front of each one of the books for that column. 3. On the second column, there is about 80px extra, therefore I'd like to auto-add 40px to the front of each book in that column. My problem is that I don't want the column centered individually because then I will lose the straight line that I'd like each book to be on top of each other as it starts the line. I tried: style="margin-left:20px" and style="padding-left:20px" but when the title got too long it would not auto-collapse the left side, I want it to collapse! I want one tag that I can insert evenly on every section to get the push to the right an even amount of spaces for every book on each column. If it comes down to it, I wouldn't mind sacrificing that each column gets auto aligned to what is necessary for its own column. So if I have to use one number, say 30px, for the whole webpage, then ok, I'd do it. My problem is that sometimes the 30px empty filler space for the left, in order to push the title to the right, is not enough space for a very long title and it winds up sending half the title to the next line, which I don't want. This code is a list of books that spans about 20 categories and about 400 book titles. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer. Hello I'm building a website for someone and because I built the website in a way that if the browser window width becomes smaller, the width of the content on the page becomes smaller as well, so the page's height increases. Normally, using height="100%" inside a image tag would work to get the image height to be the same as the height of the page, but because of some scripts I've had to use, that only seems to set the height of the image to its original size. Also, I can't use the CSS equivalent either, that still doesn't do the trick. So I was wondering if there is an alternative to the height property that I could use. By the way, the image is inside a table if that helps at all. Thanks Drider I'm actually having the same problem I've seen wandering about, and I've already considered all the given advice and nothing seems to be working. The background image is split into a 3x3 table for easier loading, and now I'm getting a small gap between the rows themselves. This is the page: http://akito.clavis-sama.com/ I don't have any <p> tags and my margins are all set to 0 already. Yet I have those lines in the middle of my table for the header image. Any clue as to what the problem could be? I have just started using strict XHTML instead of HTML (because it makes my drop-down menus work in all browsers). But now all table rows that contain images using image tags are too high. Look here, where I have used background colors to show row heights: http://colatinaexit.com/index1.shtml This is a stripped-down page that I am using to try to figure this out. But I'm missing something (I just don't know what). Look at the rows under the main image. The first row has no image tag and a partial green background color. It uses a CSS class and a background image for the corner. The second row is identical. Notice that the heights are correct and they are aligned right next to each other vertically. Now look at the 3rd row. It contains several image tags and the partial blue background color shows that it is too high. It is defined as 10 high, all the images are defined as 10 high (and, in fact, they ARE 10 pixels high). Look at the 4th row (partial green background). No image tags, no CSS. and the height is right. The 5th row? Partial blue background color. It has an image tag, plus a CSS class that defines its height as 10px, and no background image. Too high overall. I've tried all the combinations I can think of. And every combination that includes an image tag is too high. Why? What am I missing? BTW, I know that I should be using only CSS and div tags, but I have an older version of Dreamweaver and it doesn't do WYSIWYG for CSS very well. So it would be really helpful for me to understand why table rows with images are overly high. Thanks, Paul |
