HTML - Table Sizes
I'm using the developer toolbar for FireFox and I've outlined the tables on the following web page.
http://www.carlmumford.me/email Are the tables different sizes? Can someone explain to me why there is a slight change in table size when you outline them? I have the images at 600px wide and the tables are 600px with no padding. Ignore the bottom nested table because that's fine, it's the outline of the bigger tables that are bothering me. They show correctly but they are not quite lined up, is this fine? On another note, how do I get the link colours to display in gmail because they default to the nasty blue colour. I can't get them to display properly, what would you use? Similar TutorialsI'm setting up a forum page for a friend. I already found the forum and am making it so that it looks consistent with the rest of his website. Another webmaster already built his site, I'm just creating another page that will include a forum. http://goltoof.com/wchr/wchra_mboard.html This is just a test page. You'll find that I'm using iframe to embed the forum page into the webpage. The problem I'm having here is that I want the table I created to stretch to 100% of the webpage so that people won't have to scroll using the main sidebar. You'll see in firefox it only shows part of the page while in ie the forum table doesn't show at all. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong and ask me to elaborate more if my question doesn't make sense to you. Thanks. Hello This is my site: http://www.showlistportland.com When viewed in 1280 x 800 it looks perfect. If you view the page in any other size below that, it cuts the page in half. How can I make it so that at least when viewed in a smaller screen size, the ads on the left side don't get cut off? Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thank you!!! Hey i am just wondering why text size changes between browsers if you set it at a certain size. I set my text at 11px print, and the size from mozilla -> ie6 changes (gets bigger in ie6) but even greater difference in ie7... is there a way to make them all the same for sure without recoding for each browser? thanks in advance, -uberwalla Can someone take a look at this page: http://www.robotsandcomputers.com/robots/index.htm in both IE and Firefox and tell me why the images in the right hand side of the screen are larger in IE than in Firefox? I have been through the code and I can cannot figure it out.. Thanks Oh, and something else... On the menu at the top of the page. On that page you notice (in Firefox) that the menu spans the entire screen. But if you click on any other link on that menu, then the menu bar is centered. I removed the <p></p> tags in the menu on the first page because in IE they were adding way too much space above and below the menu links. Is there anyway to center those links (like they are on all the other pages) but still have IE display them correctly? I hope that makes sense.... Thanks.... Hi, I have the following javascript which basically scrolls to a certain point of a webpage when the page loads up: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload=function() { scrollTo(0,200); } </script> Now the problem I have is that this code behaves differently based on what screen size monitor you have. As I have a 15 inch screen monitor, all works fine. But if i view the page on a 19inch monitor, it scrolls down to a slightly different point of the page. Is there anyway round this. I am trying to make a generic html page. This page is going to switch between two htm files. For some reason I cannot get the font to increase. I need it to be about 125font size in word. Here is what I have: span class="fontsize100"><Font Color=red>test</font></span> I assume this is incorrect? Hello. I'm back again. This time I have a different problem: Because the text sizes in IE are much smaller than in Firefox, the alignment of certain divs comes out disarranged. Notice that in FF, the big red box's position begins at midpoint of the contact us navigation. But, in IE it begins a big close to the end. I think this is due to the different text sizes. I was wondering if I could use javascript to test which browser is currently being viewed, and base on the browser type it would switch between css to correct the differences? (Sorry for the overly huge images) Also, I'll post the code later. I am currently having an issue where Firefox allows my images to wrap according to window size but IE puts them one by one down the page instead of putting images side by side according to window size if they will fit. Example is that I have 5 images. 4 of the images are 350pixels X 400pixels and 1 image is 700pixels X 500pixels. I have code that loops through and gets images for each section that is setup. Then I am just displaying the image in 1 line of code which loops through and displays the images for each section. I have 5 sections setup with the five images listed above. My code then displays the section images with links to the sections. <a href="<%= lTemplateFileName %>"><%= (sectionMediaFile != null) ? sectionMediaFile : "" %></a> Firefox puts images side by side and since the 700pixel image will only fit on 1 row it puts that 1 image and then the next row shows 2 images because they will fit on that row. With IE using that code it displays each image 1 by 1 on seperate rows. I want to be able to use 1 piece of code that will allow images to wrap depending if multiple images can fit on that a row. I don't want to limit a <td> to a colspan and create a table out of it. I just want the images to display as many as it can fit on a window size and wrap the next images to the next row and so on and so on. How can I make it so that the end user can choose between three text sizes like is done here http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=294191 Thanks in advance BW I want to make changes to the font of the posts of this section: http://foxh0und.tumblr.com/tagged/foxh0undQA I'm really not sure where to find the part for that in the HTML.. what I want to do is change the spacing between each post & have the question in bold and the answer not in bold and smaller font - an example of what I would like to do is in the link below. http://foxh0und.tumblr.com/post/11626236049 any help would be amazing because i feel like it's ruining my whole theme. Is there any way that I can set up a page with frames where the frames remain a fixed width and will stay that size even if the browser cannot show them in their entirety? This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do (with two random sites in the frames for an example) <html> <frameset cols="800, 800"> <frame src="google.com"> <frame src="yahoo.com"> </frameset> </html> How that is working right now is that if you reduce the size of the browser then the frames also reduce in size so that they both remain on the page... I don't want this. I want the frames to remain the fixed width (800) and if the browser is not large enough to display them (<1600), I want it to have a scroll bar along the bottom to scroll further right to view them. I don't really ever use frames though, so I'm not quite sure if there's a command to throw in either frameset or frame tags or if there's something else I need to do. 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"> #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! I would like to know if there is such a thing as a tag within a table, that can collapse if the next table within that prior one gets too big to center? Here is an example of a part of my code: Code: <table style="width:757; border-style:solid; border-width:thin; margin:0 0 15px 0"> <tr><td class="spb-category" width="750" style="text-align:left;" colspan="3">Title of this category</td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=103">large size book title with author</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=187">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=197">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=101">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=188">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=120">Medium sized boot title</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=102">a very long title of a book which includes the author</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> 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. 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> </td> <td valign="top"> <table><tr> <TD WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="497" BACKGROUND="image" VALIGN="bottom"> <h1><FONT COLOR=#ffffff>Text</FONT></h1> </TD></tr></table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table><tr> <TD WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="467" BACKGROUND="image.jpg" VALIGN="bottom"> <h1><FONT COLOR=#ffffff>Text</FONT></h1> </TD></tr></table> </td> </TR> </TABLE> </body> </html> I will be brief in hoping that the issue does not require a thesis to properly fix. 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. I have a list within a table and much of the content has links to two different javascript codes. One is a popup javascript to so that I can control the window size and the other is a toggle.display javascript to show/hide specific details about my list. The scripts run fine, but for some odd reason the content in my table gets cut off randomly towards the end of the list. I went through to make sure that I didn't have any div tags nested.. etc.. and i'm now at a complete loss as to why my content within the table gets randomly cut off. Any help would me much appreciated. The link for the site is he http://netimpact.org/displaycommon.c...rticlenbr=2440. You'll notice at the very bottom of the table it randomly stops.. Hello, I am newbie, just has started my adventure with html. I tried to make an easy static site, without any additional thingd, but it occured a problem. 1. I mean, as I put table in table because I did know how to to id in different way, to make buttons on the left stay up while text on the right is moving- if I do normal table with 2columns and on the left lets say 5rows for buttons, on the right I unite all rows to make one big sort of box for contents, as I go down and try to write something morre, the rows from the letf were enlarging too If the size of explorer or firefox is nor full screen, the text in contents is going away (like now in lycos server, where screen is not full, but "cut" by advertise) 2. I have highlighted buttons, but not always works, why? (i mean it works, but darker buttons are charging so slow- maybe it is so because i saved them in pgn instead in gif, and each one is about 50kb?) -probably it is not this- because I have just changed into gif, and it is still the same 3. Another problem, as I post the site, I have notice, that in firefox I can not navigate with buttons, while in explorer yes, is it a fault of my coding, or of server where I put website? Here I post my website: http://members.lycos.co.uk/aniaacolgate/ Could someone take a look on the code, and will be so kind to correct me? It is a basic easy site of very begginger I just wanted to make a shape like this: - top: a banner - buttons in horizontal and vertical way - under buttons: contents (sincerly would like to put frames, but do not know how to put them there, is on the left there r buttons Thank you so much in advance for reply Sorry for mistakes in language the bold stuff is what i added in to try and make it sortable and it didn't work.

Hi, i'm completely new with HTML. I'm making a website for a student activity group i'm in. We chose for me, because i had a little javascript experience. Thats more than most of us. Here goes the story. We are organizing a trip for other students. The students can enroll for the trip on the website. The form uses the following code; Code: <?php $myFile = "enrollments.php"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file"); $stringData ="<tr><td>".$_POST["name"]."</td><td>".$_POST["tel"]."</td><td>".$_POST["mail"]."</td><td>".$_POST["rnumber"]."</td><td>".$_POST["shirt"]."</td><td>".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."</td><td>".date("d-m, G:i:s")."</td></tr>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); ?> Named post.php The code results in a simple file with only <tr>info</tr><tr>info2</tr>. Another page uses the following code to show the enrollments Code: <table id='enrollments'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Tel</th><th>Mail</th><th>Reknumber</th><th>Shirt</th><th></th><th>IP</th><th>Time</th></tr> <?php include('enrollments.php'); ?> </table> named showenroll.html Right. So far so good. Now we'd like to show the students which are thinking about enrolling howmany other students already have enrolled. In other words, i'd like to count the number of rows in the "showenroll.html" and display that in the index.html. Ive found trough google the var (document.getElementById('ID')). However, i'm not able to add this var to the index.html, and direct it to a element ID on another page. As most newbs would do, i've tried document.getElementById('./showenroll/enrollments') I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how i can direct the document.getElementById to an element id that is not on the same page. And, if this is impossible, how i can make a counter of the enrollments Drayn p.s. ive tried to search this forum on table row counter, but it didn't provide the right solution(s?) for me. |
