HTML - Links In Lists Display Wrong In Tables
Hello,
I'm designing a site that has a table with it's cells containing unordered lists. These lists are working and displaying fine, except for when I use IE. The links automatically drop down to the next line no matter what. FF looks perfect. Example: Code: <td width="367" height="165" nowrap="nowrap" background="Assets/GFX.png">
<ul>
<li><strong>Full name</strong> Name<a name="Name" /></li>
<li><strong>Birth date</strong> January 19, 1980 </li>
<li><strong>Birthplace</strong> Frome, Great Britain</li>
<li><strong>Link</strong><a href="http://website.com" class="linkcolor" > Website </a></li>
</ul>
</td>
The part in red is the issue. in IE, the Website part drops down to the next line, even though there is plenty of space in the cell. Is there a trick to fixing this? Similar TutorialsHey everyone, I just want to ask a simple question... What is the best element to use to arrange content? I've tried div's, tables and now lists but I still don't know what to use. What do you guys think? Hi all, what is the best method to align sets of labels, drop down lists, text input fields, images, and buttons with html? The file I attached is how I would like it to be formatted. I achieved this using tables, but had to play around with alignments and pixel adjustment for a really long time before they were just right. For reference, here is how I coded it: Code: <table style="width:768" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td style="width:142" align="right"> <label for="county">* County : </label> </td> <td style="width:192" align="left"> <select name="county" id="county" class="ListBox"> <option selected>BEAUFORT</option> <option>HYDE</option> <option>MARTIN</option> <option>TYRELL</option> <option>WASHINGTON</option> </select> </td> <td style="width:40"></td> <td style="width:100" align="right"> <label for="caseOpened">* Case Opened : </label> </td> <td style="width:172" align="left"> <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="caseOpened" id="caseOpened"> mm/dd/yyyy </td> <td style="width:22" align="left"> <a href="#"><img src="images/calendar.gif" width="16" height="16" vspace="0" border="0" alt="Calender"></a> </td> <td style="width:100"> <input type="button" class="button" name="today" value="Today" onClick="setTodaysDate(caseOpened)"> </td> </table><br> <table style="width:768" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <td style="width:142" align="right"> <label for="localNumber">Local Number : </label> </td> <td style="width:192" align="left"> <input type="text" size="20" maxlength="15" name="localNumber" id="localNumber"> </td> <td style="width:40"></td> <td style="width:100" align="right"> <label for="caseNumber">* Case Number : </label> </td> <td style="width:294" align="left"> <input type="text" size="11" maxlength="11" name="caseNumber" id="caseNumber"> </td> </table><br> I'm definitely new to html, and had heaps of trouble getting the tables to display properly. Surely there must be an easier method. Also, is there a way to make static html pages resize themselves accordingly in respect to your browser size? Appreciate all the help in advance The ones for the main content on this page, where you click on a guitar pic icon: http://www.musicisrevolution.com/teachers I've gotten a few emails saying that when they try to use the links, it just magnifies the page. Code-wise, they look like all the other links on the site, which are apparently working fine. Here's an example of the code: <a href="http://www.musicisrevolution.com/MIRMini-GrantApplication.pdf" alt="Mini Grant Application Form and Instructions" title="Mini Grant Application Form and Instructions" target="_blank"><img src="pic.jpg" alt="Mini Grant Application Form and Instructions" title="Mini Grant Application Form and Instructions" border="0" /></a> Any ideas about what's going wrong here? im very confused, Firefox runs the site perfectly, exactly how i'd expect. In safari nothing shows up and in I.E 6 the page screws up depending on how long it takes for the page to load . this is firefox - and that is exactly what you get if you open IE and go to the page first time round, but if you then went to another page and took a link back to the original page, this happensbut it then fixes it self if you reload using F5 but not by reloading the page with the address bar. . What looks to be happening is IE is forgetting to format the text and it's resizing the boxes around it to fit rather than re ordering the text - In safari it's just blank. anyway all the page layouts are put there using php to make it easy to fix problems like this, so on that page you see this sorta thing. how the layout works is it starts with this - HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="height: 100%;"> <head> <title>Technology</title> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' /> <title>D-Wave Systems</title> <script type='text/javascript' src='js/mootools.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='js/slimbox.js'></script> <link rel='stylesheet' href='css/slimbox.css' type='text/css' media='screen' /> <link rel='stylesheet' href='css/Main.css' type='text/css' media='screen' /> <script src='Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js' type='text/javascript'></script></head> <body style="height:100%;"> <div id='MainContainer'><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 class=Container height=100%> <tr><td width=38px height=100% background=images/leftPB.png> </td> <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=top width=700px> 'MainContainer' looks like this - Code: width:800px; /* total width of left+right+center */ height: 100%; margin: 0 auto; inside <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=top width=700px> you have the title bar and to organize the Headlines and main content there's another table - HTML Code: <table width='713' height=400 border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr><td width='470' valign='top' style='background:url(images/contentBgTop.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; height:20px;'> </td> <td width='237' id='HeadLines' valign='top' rowspan=3> ## THIS IS INSIDE THE HEADLINES BOX ## </td> </tr> <tr> <td style='background:url(images/contentBgMiddle.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-position:center; text-align:left;' valign='top'> ## THIS IS INSIDE THE CONTENT BOX ## </td> </tr> <tr> <td style='background:url(images/contentBgBottem.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; height:20px;'> </td> </tr> </table><table height=100><tr><td>hello</td></tr></table> </td> <td background=images/rightPB.png height=100% width=38px> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style='background:url(images/bottemLeft.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; height:46px;'></td> <td style='background:url(images/bottem.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; height:46px;'></td> <td style='background:url(images/bottemRight.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; height:46px;'></td> </tr> </table></div></body> </html> Where am i going wrong :S should i be trying a different method to organize the elements? Thanks for reading, sorry it's a little lengthy While I was searching for an HTML forum to join, I came across a statement in another forum that said using tables to layout a web page is incorrect -- even stupid. Is this true? I have been reading a book entitled "HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible" which devotes an entire chapter (chapter 11) to "Page Layout with Tables" and continually refers to page layout within Tables and Nested Tables. This is the method that I have been using to create my first web pages. Do I need to re-think this and change the way I layout my pages? Please enlighten me... Thanks, JFB Hi all, Happy NY Is there anyway to navigate links through tables and cells. I'd like to have some links on my page that change information (text only) within a specific cell or table without changing the page. Is this possible? I remember this being done in frames, but would rather not use frames if possible. Thanks. I don't know how to even debug this because it works in firefox but not IE. I display a table and use PHP script to populate the table. In explorer, the "fellow" value gets SKIPPED and then the next value ("rcf_date") gets put into that td, so everything gets screwed up! Looking at the code I can't figure out what it is about it that explorer doesn't like. Why on earth would it skip the fellow field? Here;s the php code that displays the table: Here's a link to a screenshot of the table in IE: http://bp1.blogger.com/_cy0zia_bU_s/...screenshot.png Here is the code to display that table.

Using AJAX & php to return a randomly generated number of single column tables, and drop them into a <div> element. ( http://www.thegreatmartinicompany.co...ace-value.html ). I've set the div to text-align: center, and put auto margins on the tables. The result is the tables are centered and equally spaced in the div element regardless of the number of tables returned. As appropriate FF and IE display the tables side by side, but Safari stacks them on top of each other. An example of the returned code is below. Any ideas why Safari does not display this as IE and FF do? <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones. So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me? Thanks in advance for any advice! Hi Normally, when you have more than one table in your code, the tables will be placed one under each other. Example: <table> ... </table> <table> ... </table> When you want the tables to be placed next to each other, you need to set the align attribute. Example: <table align="left"> ... </table> <table align="left"> ... </table> BUT: When you do it like in the 2nd example (tables next to each other), in Firefox, the tables will wrap to a new line if there is no more space. In Internet Explorer, the tables will not wrap. The result is a horizontal scrollbar or "hidden tables". Why this? How can I make the tables wrap also in Internet Explorer as it does in Firefox? Is it possible with a special CSS definition or with a special DIV/SPAN tag? Thanks for your help praiser Hello, I've been working on my website recently and I've found a problem that I have no idea how to fix. I have an unordered list that serves as the menu on the left of the site. I've been trying to remove the black dots that come with the unordered list. They only show up on the first one and they blemish the site. I want to keep it with a list because it allows for pleasing aesthetics in combination with my CSS (link hover changes the color). Is there a way I can keep the same look and get rid of the dots? Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> <title>Bob's Page</title> </head> <body> <center> <img class="center" src="img/banner.jpg"></center> <div class="left"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="products.html">Products</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:robert.t.adams5@gmail.com">Contact Me</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="right"> <p>Text goes here. </div> </body> </html> look at it he http://eco-heater.bobadams.x10hosting.com I put this code in : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org.TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>My first web page</title> </head> <body> <h1>My first web page</h1> <h2>What this is</h2> <p>A simple page put together using HTML</p> <h2>Why this is</h2> <u1> <li>To learn HTML</li> <li> To show off <o1> <li>to my boss</li> <li>to my friedns</li> <li>to my cat</li> </o1> </li> <li>Because I've fallen in love with my computer and I want to give her some HTML lovin</li> </u1> </body> </html> I'm not getting the indentation or the numbers for the ordered list.

Can anyone take a look at the page and my source code and see if you can help me figure out what is wrong? go to http://www.prewrath.com/index2.html Thank you! bzig hi all, im having a bit of a problem displaying a list horizontally, and its really getting a bit frustrating. as far as i can see, it should be a case of using display:inline on the li tags, but so far no luck. ive included my css below: Code: #navigation ul
{
list-style-type:none;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
#navigation ul li
{
display:inline;
}
#navigation ul li a
{
display:block;
width:90px;
height:30px;
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
}
#navigation ul li a:hover
{
background-color:#EF4252;
}
and my html: Code: <td id="navigation"> <ul > <li> <a href="contact.html" >Contact Us</a> </li> <li> <a href="wwd.html" >What We Do</a> </li> </ul> </td> any help would be appreciated. thanks I am currently trying to create some nested lists to display the following... A...R...X B...S...Y C...T...Z (where the letters will eventually be replaced by words) and have made this work perfectly in chrome and firefox, however when I use Internet Explorer I get something resembling the following... A B...R C...S...X .....T...Y ..........Z I assume it's probably to do with the css, but please can someone help me with this problem, the html and css are shown below, thanks in advance for any help.

Hey Everyone, Has anyone else had this problem? I create an ordered list, and set the type="1". The numbers appear in Firefox, but do not appear in IE7 even though there is a margin there for the number. Help is appreciated. Hey -- is there a difference between how Opera and Firefox interpret lists? My site appears to be reading the same in both browsers except that the lists (a considerable part of the design) are not showing up in the same manner. Is there something I can do about this? http://www.trekandromeda.com/index/techindex.html http://www.trekandromeda.com/index/home.css The entire site is written at this point so the other pages will show the same problem. Can anyone help me with this? Hi, i want to add a horizontal overflow to the div element that holds the UL. each LI is displayed along side each other using Float:left. however, when they reach the end of the page it starts a new line. how can i get it so it doesnt start a newline, but carrys on in a line and can be scroll-able? thankyou Code: bodywrapper {
width:930px;
margin:auto;
margin-top:20px;
background:url(../images/layout/main_body_bg.jpg) repeat;
}
/*Image Gallery*/
#gallery ul {
margin-left:-30px;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-top:-10px;
}
#gallery ul li {
display:block;
float:left;
height:100px;
width:100px;
padding-top:10px;
padding-right:10px;
}
.thumbnails {

Hi, I have a basic understanding of HTML, and now I have a problem. My blog is on www.wrappedfolds.blogspot.com. I am trying to make my list on my blog navigational rather than just a list. I want all of the designs (the list is after where it says "a list of my designs") to be links to the article that they're posted on. I have read plenty about it, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have some drop down list tests I am playing with he http://www.my-plague.net/list.php There are a few thing I need help with: 1) If I don't put a "select" url, if go is clicked on I get a server error. I just want it to do nothing. e.g. with the header. 2) If I put a style for a "select" that has no url, then the list reverts to a square more box-like shape. 3) I want to make the go button open the urls in a new window. 4) I don't know what the js code at the end does because it still works without it (found the code in a tutorial) : Code: <script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function gotoLink(form) {
var OptionIndex=form.ListBoxURL.selectedIndex;
parent.location = form.ListBoxURL.options[OptionIndex].value;}
//-->
</script>
