HTML - Making A Whole Cell In A Table A Link
Im having an issue in some browsers with making a whole cell in a table a link.
I have simplified my code to that below for ease of troubleshooting here. Using the code below, and assuming you have two image files named AlphaThumb.jpg (approx 80x100 px) and Alpha.jpg (A larger version of AlphaThumb.jpg) in a folder with the html and css files I achieve the desired result in IE7, IE8 & in Lunascape6 (Ver 6.3.4). However Firefox (Ver 3.6.13), Safari (Ver 5.0.3) & Opera (Ver 11.00) all have the same issue, in that the link doesn't work. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful for some input. Regards, Stoney ------------- The Html code ------------- <html> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Stylesheet1.css" /> <body> <table border="1" class="aggregatestable"> <tr> <a href="Alpha.jpg" target=_blank> <td class="productalpha"> </td> </a> <td class="productname">Alpha</td> <td>Some random text about our product Alpha.</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> ------------ The css code ------------ td.productname { width: 100px; height: 80px; } td.productalpha { background-image: url(AlphaThumb.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; width: 100px; height: 80px; cursor: pointer; } Similar Tutorialsi want the entire table cell to be the link, not just the text inside any ideas? I've got a small problem, i want to make a table cell that works as a button. I tried it this way: Code: <table border='1' width='100%' height='10%'> <tr> <a href='page.htm'> <td width='20%' height='100%'> </td> </a> But this won't work, does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I recently made a rollover menu, and though the text does highlight when I roll over the cell, the link only works if I rollover the word is the cell. Is there a way to make the cell itself link? Hi everyone: Any help appreciated. Objective: To have three equally sized and spaced images arranged horizontally, with their size set automatically by the size of the window. Development: I'm using a Mac, and I don't have ready access to a PC to experiment. What I tried: Code: <table> <tr> <td><img src = "a.png" style = "width: 100%" /></td> <td><img src = "b.png" style = "width: 100%" /></td> <td><img src = "c.png" style = "width: 100%" /></td> </tr> </table> <p class = "caption">A caption for the 3 images</p> <p class = "legend" >A legend for the three images</p> What happened: This works perfectly in Safari and Firefox (Mac) and Firefox under Vista, but in Internet Explorer under Vista , the images are HUGE - the unscaled size of the originals. What I think is the reason: IE is taking 100% to be relative to the width of the body element, not the td element. What I don't want to have to do: Use fixed sizes or calculate the sizes on the fly. What I'm trying now: removing the table and using a div, and inside that, setting the image width to 33% and floating one right and one left. What's the trick to get around this IE "gotcha" please? Thanks from a newbie. hi, i have a jsp page, in this page i am displaying data retrieved from mysql database. Now the problem is i must color table cell based on cell value. how to implement this.please give me an sample or working code foe this problem.( any code is accepted) preferably html or javascript. i.e if cell value is "late" then display that cell in red color else display the cell in green color please help me. Thanks ad Regards Akash 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"> #cat table {border:0px solid #333333; cell-padding:0; cell-spacing:0; align=center} #cat tr {align=center} #cat td {font-size: 13px; font-family=tahoma; font-weight: bold; padding: 0px; border:0px solid #333333; align=center;} #cat td a {text-decoration: none; color:#757575; background-color: white; display:block; height=23; background-image: url(linkbg1.gif); align=center;} #cat td a:hover {background-color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;color: #ffffff; background-image: url(linkbg2.gif); align=center;} </style> and here is the table code, located in the body of the page: HTML Code: <div style="Height:53px; overflow:auto; width:900px; position:absolute; top:0; left:0"> <TABLE bgcolor=#333333 cellspacing=0; cellpadding=0;><tr><td> <div id="cat"> <table width=900; cellpadding:0px; cellspacing:0px> <tr align=center> <td width=20%> <font face=tahoma><a href="home.html">Home</a></font> </td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="openings.html" target="_top">Openings</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="dance.html" target="_top">Dance</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="projects.html" target="_top">Projects</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="vocaloid.html" target="_top">Vocaloid</a></font></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="fanflashes.html" target="_top">Fanflashes</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="caramelldansen.html" target="_top">Caramelldansen</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="cosplay.html" target="_top">Cosplay</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="endings.html" target="_top">Endings</a></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="anime.html" target="_top">Anime Episodes</a></font></font></center></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td></tr></table> </div> A table is nested within another table. The table on the outside has no content, it is there to make a gray border around everything else. If you look at the table in firefox & internet explorer, you'll see that in IE- the table is much thicker than in firefox. How can i make it so that the table in Firefox will have the same thickness as the one in IE? I could really use some help. Thanks! Hi, I made a div into a link by making the "a" tag into a block element. Now that I did that, I added text and images to the div, and now the link only works around the text, but fine over the image. How do I get the link to work over the entire div?

I inserted a picture into one of the cells in the table and it shifts everything over. Here is my code: <td width="625" colspan="1" bgcolor="white"> <font type="Arial" size ="5" color="blue"> <b>Floorplan</b><br> <center> <a href="floorplanlarge.jpg"><img src="floorplansmall.jpg" border="0" /></a> </center> </td> I have been working on fixing this for the last hour and am out of ideas on what is going on. The picture is smaller than the cell width range. My picture width is 311 pixels and the cell width is 625 pixels. I dont know if there is code whether its HTML or CSS to prevent the cell from widening. Any help would be appreciated. Also if you need me to provide more detail I can. Thanks. http://alexc.awardspace.com/index.htm I made a div box into a link and in IE it works fine, only the outlined div is clickable. However in FF not only is the outlined div clickable, but the whole top part is. Its weird and I don't know whats wrong with it. Heres the code: html <body> <div id="main"> <a href="index.htm"><div id="logo"></div></a> </div> </body> </html> CSS body { background:url(images/cork.png); margin:0; padding:0; } #main { width:950px; height:750px; background:url(images/bg.jpg); margin:0px auto; } #logo { width:480px; height:90px; margin-left:45px; cursor:pointer; border:1px solid #000000; } Hello, I posted this on another forum, but didn't get a conclusive response... Is it possible to make an HTML <button> act as a link without using Javascript's onClick handler, or indeed any Javascript at all? I was thinking something like: <a href="some link"><button>GO!</button></a> would work, but it doesn't seem to. Thanks, Hi Guys, Code: <td><a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.forms['formStatement'].submit()"> <%= statement.getTransaction().get(i).getTransactionId()%></a></td> As u see above is cell of a table, I want to fetch the value of the row cell as i want to use it using request object like req.getAttribute("some attribute"); How can i do that? Hello all! I wanted to ask if there is a way to specify certain width sizes for table cells in a table. The thing is that I have a table in one webpage that, if I leave the width of the TD cells unspecified, I usually end up with some cells being very wide because the text that is written inside them is very big and does not roll up automatically and other cells shrink and become very small in order for the total table not to lose its specified length. Can I set a specific width for the cell that gets filled with many words so that the contents of this cell will wrap and not extend so much? Thank you! Hello, I have a problem with tables cells containing form buttons: Code: <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <button id="button-submit_2" type="submit">Add Name</button>      </form> <form action="nrt-home-edit&delete.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="class_name" value="$class_name[0]"/> <button id="button-submit_2" type="submit">Finish</button></form> </td> </tr> The above code puts the two buttons on their own lines within the table cell. My question is, does anybody know how to keep them on the same line without putting them into their own individual cells? Code: <td class="row5" style="text-align:center;" width="50"> <b style="font-size:15px; color:#c9c5be; font-family:Georgia;">2</b> <span style="color:#c9c5be;">topics</span> <br /> <b style="font-size:15px; color:#c9c5be; font-family:Georgia;">1</b> <span style="color:#c9c5be;">posts</span><br /><br /> </td> I'm not sure how it's looking in IE, but in Firefox all the text in this table cell is aligned to the right. I can't figure out why. Row5 only adds a background color and nothing else. http://sa.zrkonium.net/ It's visible here ^ The grey topics/posts text is aligned to the right in Firefox rather than in the center where it should be. I can't figure out why it's not aligning right. Any help appreciated. i want to open a frame by clicking on a cell,i can only do this when the ref is outside the table,can you help? Thanks everybody Hi Can someone please tell me how I can make a table cell (which contains text which is linked) linkable? http://www.revolution.worldclanleagu...?site=calendar Here you can see a calendar with months at the top. When you hover over a month, the cell highlights but only the text inside is actually selectable - I'd like to make the cell selectable/linked. PHP/HTML I have: Code: <td class="calendar-month" align="center"><a class="calendar" href="index.php?site=calendar&month=01">'.mb_substr($_language->module['jan'], 0, 3).'</a></td> CSS: Code: a.calendar, a.calendar:visited, a.calendar:active { font-family: Arial; color: #dbdbdb; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-decoration: none;} a.calendar:hover { font-family: Arial; color: #dbdbdb; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-decoration: none;} .calendar-month, calendar-month:visited { font-family: Arial; color: #dbdbdb; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; padding: 5px; background-color: #2f2f2f; border-bottom:3px solid #1d1d1d; border-right: 1px solid #000; border-top: 1px solid #424242; border-left: 1px solid #424242;} .calendar-month:active { font-family: Arial; color: #dbdbdb; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; padding: 5px; background-color: #2f2f2f; border-bottom:3px solid #1d1d1d; border-right: 1px solid #000; border-top: 1px solid #424242; border-left: 1px solid #424242;} .calendar-month:hover { font-family: Arial; color: #dbdbdb; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; padding: 5px; background-color: #3f3f3f; border-bottom:3px solid #1d1d1d; border-right: 1px solid #000; border-top: 1px solid #424242; border-left: 1px solid #424242;} (sorry theres so much css) Thanks in advance =D Hi, I have a template made that my friend made in photoshop and slice the image to be able to put them in html.
