HTML - Table Within A Table, Height Pixel Working, Not Percentage
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. Similar TutorialsHello Everyone! (hoping for quick reply.. lol) I am not sure if this should go here, or in the design section. I chose here, because it is a problem in the code itself. I have introduced myself in the introductory section, if you want to know a little bit more about what I am doing this for. I made a template design in The Gimp photo editor. I sliced it up, and opened up the HTML file in the editor Kompozer. It opened up just like it should, but I wanted a liquid type layout, so I turned the cell's widths into the corresponding percentages, though Kompozer rounded them off. (Shown below) However, when I previewed the file this time, it appeared as if it skipped every other cell, leaving a blank white space in its spot. Not even in the right percentages. I think I know what I've done wrong, looking back now that I am writing this thread. Can someone please point me in the right direction? EDIT: Code posted as comment, due to lack of character room. Hi, I have to display the results in 20 columns, in that 14 columns are frozen, rest of them are scrollable, when I give table widht in % then scrollbar presents to view the data in Firefox. If I see the same in IE, it doesnt show all the data, and there is no scrollbar. If I give the table width in px form then to some extent I am able to see the scrollbar in IE, and minimum pixel I had to give is 3000 and above. Is there any common solution to me to fix this so that I can see same both the browsers. We would like to have solution, width in % not in px. Please let me know the solution for this. I have attached the zip file for your reference to see the code, please run in IE and Firefox and check it. Advanced thanks, Venkat I have a website I am working on he http://www.cliffmccormick.com/New/home.html and I need the site to fill 100% of the browser window. The problem is that the table has 4 rows, as you can see by the 4 different colored sections (ignoring the white at the bottom). I have found code to make the table height 100%, but the problem is when it does this, it ignores the pixel heights I have specified. I need the middle area with the picture of the face to expand freely, but I need the other 3 rows to remain the pixel heights I specify. So, the area with the face I do not specify a height. and I thought that would mean that it would be the only row to expand, but this is not the case. I have tried lots of things, and am out of ideas. Can anyone help me? Hello all, I am making a website with the lay-out based on a table (I know I shouldn't, when will I ever learn? ;-)). The problem is the following: I have divided my page into several blocks: The lowest <td> row has been set at 544px while the top row has been set at auto. Firefox gives the correct output. In IE the lowest row is longer than 544 px (the red line gives the height it should have, the red arrow points to the real hight). Putting the height on 100% doesn't help because it stretches the top row over the complete page, leaving the bottom row out of the screen (the positive side of this is that now the bottom row is 544 px as I had orderd it to)... So does anyone have advice for me (besides the fact that I should make my lay-out with div's: tried it, but it just doesnt work for me :-)). Thanks for the help, JuliusV ps. I've checked my code (html and css) with w3 and no errors have been found. Hi @ all! I am working on a layout with XHTML + CSS by use of a table, wich fills 100% of the browser window's height. Now here's my example: http://dennishoene.de.funpic.de/index2.html (Please just ignore the advt. popping up) I designed a simple grid for prospective contents. In Firefox, Safari and Opera it works fine, in IE not. I used fixed heights for the first line (30px), the second line (120px), the third line (30px) and the fifth line (30px). The fourth line should be variable (due to different screen resolutions), but in the end, the table should be of 100% height (see CSS-indications in <head>). It seems as the Internet Explorer simply does not take any notice of these values, whereas Firefox & the rest do (in detail: IE accepts the height: 100% statement, but ignores or deranges the fixed height values of the particular table cells/lines). How can I solve my problem? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Dennis Hi, I am looking to get a table along the side of my page to stretch from top to bottom. I tried <table height="100%"> and .high {height:100%} ... <table class="high"> but it didn't work it only shows until the end of the table's content. Is there a way to do this? Thanks I have a table row with a form with several buttons. The row is twice the height of the buttons and I haven't been able to control the height. Here is snippet: <html> <head> </head> <body> <center> <table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr> <td align='center'> <form> <input type='button' value='Prev month' id='btnPrevID' onClick='MonthYearChange("prev")'> <input type='button' value='Next month' id='btnNextID' onClick='MonthYearChange("next")'> <input type='button' value='Change Mo/Yr' id='btnChgID' onClick='DropDownChangeMonthYear()'> </form> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Im having an issue with the table row heights on my page, i have three rows: The top row has the navigation menu, the second had a sub navigation menu (previous and next) to go between pages and then the third is has the content. I want the top to rows to snug up with the top of the table (like the top 25%) and then the content to be in the middle of the bottom row. Barring putting 'height="25%"' in the tr tag, is there a good way to do this? Thanks Hi, My site is here I am having problems with the left side. It looks how I want it in Firefox but in IE it is ignoring my height commands and centering all the rows across the whole table. Anyone know how I can get this to look the same in Firefox and IE? Bit of a numpty so please be gentle Thanks Jon 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 Hi Everyone: I'm having difficulty getting a table row height of "1" to display as only one pixel in height. Please see the attached files for reference. The JPG is what I want it to look like, and the index.txt file is the HTML I've currently setup that is not working. The table should have four white strips. On the right side, this is above and below the large black box, as well as under the green box. On the left side, this is between the light green box and the slightly darker green box. As you can see, all of these white strips appear to be larger than one pixel in height, and I'm not understanding why. Can anyone please explain to me why this is occurring, and what I can do to fix it? Also, once fixed, will I be able to merge cells of the same color (i.e make the big black box one merged cell, the below green box one merged cell, etc...)? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Philip Hello I have a very annoying problem: I have a table inside a td and I want the table the strech its height to the height of the <td> , but somehow I can't do it... <td valign="top" style="width:14px; border:solid 1px black;"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="width:100%; height:100%; min-height:100%; max-height:100%" > <tr> <td class="CommonSeperetorUp" > </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="CommonSeperetorMiddle" > </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="CommonSeperetorDown" > </td> </tr> </table> </td> int the class "CommonSeperetorMiddle" I set the height to 100% ... anyone? 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 Hi, Please review the following code and give me your thoughts... HTML Code: <table width="500" border="1"><tr> <td width="200"><p>This</p><p>is</p><p>very</p><p>very</p><p>very</p><p>LONG</p><p>text</p></td> <td width="300" height ="100%" valign="top"> <table width="300" height ="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="300" valign="top">This should be at the TOP</td></tr> <tr><td width="300" valign="bottom">This should be at the BOTTOM</td></tr> </table> </td> See the attachment for what I am trying to achieve... The thing to focus on is the second column and how it has 2 rows which are trying to stretch to fill the height of the single row first column. It works in Firefox 3.6 but not at all in IE8. Any ideas? And please don't talk me out of tables for this thread... I know they aren't the greatest thing ever, I'm just trying to fix what I have. Thanks! - Jeff Hi, First, please excuse me if this has been answered before. I wasn't able to find any similar posts that has a solution and thus I'm making this new thread. What I have is a simple table with two sections just like this: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td width='50%' valign='top'> Content goes here... </td>
<td width='50%' valign='top'> Content 2 goes here... </td>
</tr>
</table>
Inside those two sections I have a fieldset in each of them (yes, I know this might sound weird, but that's how I need it to be). The question is, how can I make the height of both <td> (or alternatively the fieldset value) to be equal, in a situation when the data is a dynamical one and I don't know its size initially. It looks ugly if one of the rows is longer than the other and I would like to justify them in some way. I tried setting height attribute but to no avail. Any thoughts how this can be achieved? Thank you in advance for your help! I'm using the following code to display a table with three columns. The first and third column each have a background image, so that these graphics will appear behind any text. The middle column does not have a background image. Instead, it has three images stacked on top of each other, whose combined height equal the height of the background images on the left and right (30+83+81=194). The table and three cells are given the same dimensions as their contents or background images. Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="584" height="194"> <tr> <td width="239" height="194" align="left" valign="middle" background="left.png"> START </td> <td width="117" height="194"> <img width="117" height="30" src="middle-top.png" border="0" /><br /> <img width="117" height="83" src="middle-middle.png" border="0" /><br /> <img width="117" height="81" src="middle-bottom.png" border="0" /> </td> <td width="228" height="194" align="right" valign="middle" background="right.png"> END </td> </tr> </table> In IE8 this seems to work fine, as it does in Firefox and Chrome. However, in IE7, I get this: You can see that the background begins to repeat at the bottom of the left and right columns, indicating that the table is higher than the dimension specified. Why is this? How can I fix it (without ruining the display in other browsers/versions)? Any suggestions much appreciated! Hello, I've recently noticed that IE renders this table a bit differently than most browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc). The real page is much more complicated and uses proper styling, but I simplified it into the code below. The inline CSS sets the height of each individual cell and then the last cell is not provided with a height. I would love for the last cell to take the rest of the available height. I've tried many things to try and get this to work (like setting the height to 100%). The page renders how I expect it to in every browser I've tested except for the IE series. It seems as though Internet Explorer decides to ignore my row heights and calculate its own for some reason. Also, using a fixed height for the last cell is not possible due to how dynamic the web page is. Does anyone have any tips? HTML Code: <table style="table-layout:fixed;" border=1 width=100%> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> <td style="height:600px" colspan=3 rowspan=5>This should span all of the rows and the remaining columns</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>This cell should take the rest of the available column height area</td> </tr> </table> Thank you. Hello, I've been trying to fix this table problem for hours... I must be missing something simple. I have a table with a bunch of images - the logo and top navigation. For some reason, each column is adding in extra pixels. I've defined the height of each image, and tried dozens of things with column height & stylesheets to get this stuff to align properly, with no luck. When I inspect the element in chrome, I see that the table & columns within have a greater height than the images within. Can anyone provide me with a bit of guidance? Here's the table code: HTML Code: <table id="mast" class="mast" width="770" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="2" height="88"><img src="images/Mast_Smile.png" width="182" height="88" alt="" /></td> <td colspan="9" height="52"><img src="images/Mast_Top.png" width="588" height="52" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Button_Book.png" width="88" height="36" alt="The Book!" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Space_1.png" width="24" height="36" alt="" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Button_Who.png" width="57" height="36" alt="Who?" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Space_2.png" width="16" height="36" alt="" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Button_Media.png" width="102" height="36" alt="ATTN: Media" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Space_3.png" width="28" height="36" alt="" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Button_Purchase.png" width="112" height="36" alt="For Purchase" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Space_4.png" width="21" height="36" alt="" /></td> <td height="36"><img src="images/Mast_Cart.png" width="140" height="36" alt="" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="10" height="6"><img src="images/Mast_Bottom.png" width="770" height="6" alt="" /></td> </tr> </table> You can see it on my server he http://mmm-hmm.com/_test/index.php Thanks so much for any help! Denis Hi there I am trying to make a template whereby the whole table fills 100% height of the browser window. My problem is, is that i have a nested table containing 2 rows and 2 tds. The first row and td needs to be aligned to the top and the 2nd needs to align to the bottom - and to the bottom of the browser window. This is my code so far: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Homepage</title> <style type="text/css" media="all"> body { margin:0; padding:0; height:100%; } table { border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing:0; } td { margin:0; padding:0; } html { height:100%; } </style> </head> <body > <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height:100%;"> <tr> <td width="50%" style="background-image:url(leftheader_image.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top right;"></td> <td width="980" height="244" style="background-image:url(header_image.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top left; vertical-align:top;"><img src="spacer.gif" width="980" height="1" alt="" /></td> <td width="50%" style="background-image:url(rightheader_image.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top left;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%" style="background-image:url(leftbody_image.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top right; background-color:#fbefd5; vertical-align:bottom;" ><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50%" height="119" style="background-image:url(leftgrass_image.gif); background-repeat:repeat; background-position:top right; vertical-align:bottom;"></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="980" bgcolor="#fbefd5" style="background-image:url(body_image.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top left; background-color:#fbefd5; height:100%; vertical-align:top;"><table width="100%" style="height:100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"><p>content</p></td> </tr> <tr><br /> <td width="980" height="118" style="vertical-align:bottom; background-image:url(grass_image.gif); background-position:top left; background-repeat:repeat-x;"> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="50%" style="background-image:url(rightbody_image.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top left; vertical-align:bottom; background-color:#fbefd5; "><table width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%" height="118" style="background-image:url(rightgrass_image.gif); background-repeat:repeat; background-position:top left; "></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </tr> </table> </body> </html> What i need is for the left grass image, the grass image and the right grass image all aligned to the bottom of the browser window, but all these images need to be set as backgrounds as i need the left and the right to repeat on the x and footer links will be overlayed to the grass image in the middle. The result i am getting at the moment is IE7 displays 100% further than the height of the browser window, resulting in a scroll and the grass image does not align to the bottom along with the left and right grass. This is near the top directly beneath the content td. In Firefox, all images are aligned to the bottom, but the grass image is pushed further down than the left and right and so is not lined correctly, resulting in a slight scroll. The left and right grass images are aligned at the bottom of the browser window, before needing to scroll to see the rest of the middle grass. I know that's a lot to take in, does it make sense? Thanks in advance. Hi guys, First of all I'm a newbie at web coding and such... Using dreamweaver I managed to create a simple web design, Exactly as I wanted it. Now my only problem lies with the table and the iframe within it, Is it possible for the table to depend on the iframe's height and increase accordingly? (auto increase height and fill the whole frame page without scrolling inside the frame) Here is the code, maybe I did something wrong... <style type="text/css"> body { margin-top: 0px; } </style> <body bgcolor="#c7c7c7"><table width="1020" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th width="20" height="100%" rowspan="3" scope="col"><img src="bgleft3.jpg" width="20" height="100%" /></th> <th width="980" height="277" background="Mainbanner.jpg" scope="col"></th> <th width="20" height="100%" rowspan="3" scope="col"><img src="bgright3.jpg" width="20" height="100%" /></th> </tr> <tr> <th width="980" height="51" background="Barnew.jpg" scope="col"></th> </tr> <tr> <td width="980" height="100%" bgcolor="#3e5d75"><iframe src="frame_new.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </td> </tr> <tr> <th width="20" height="46" background="BottomLeft.jpg" scope="col"></th> <th width="980" height="46" background="BottomNew.jpg" scope="col"></th> <th width="20" height="46" background="BottomRight.jpg" scope="col"></th> </tr> </table> </body> Thanks in advance. (Already tried google and searched the forums, didnt find anything) |
