HTML - Table: Vertically Shift Text

I am creating a web app. that reads data from a database and then displays it on a page. I found a solution and incorporated it into my layout but it is not working technically. Even when entering data manually into the form field I get an overflow.

The issue is the overflow. My table is wrapped in a div tag that limits its size to the width of its parent container, and my table has a set width. Even with all this my content will continue horizontally, almost like its reaching the width of my page (starting from the start of the table).

What i would like the content to do is once it reaches the end of the div container it starts a new line in the table. I do not want to use any scrolling. Just fill my page vertically with content.

Thanks!

Hey All! I am looking for a little help on this. I had a problem with my site (www.darose.ca) where I would change the size of the text and the page 'breaks' (refer to uploaded jpeg). However, I have managed to fix this by restricting CSS to show only a particular font.

STILL, the problem persists as when I would test my webpage at http://browsershots.org/ it would show different browsers but still the page is "breaking". The weird thing is everything looks fine in IE !!!

I am wondering if this is a simple CSS code...ex having the length and width pushed together as far as it could go (always).

Does anybody know a way around this???

Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to create this screen shift effect of the background, like in this website.

I would be very appreciative of any help you guys could give me.
Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

It's very embarrassing to have to ask a question like this on a web coding forum when the site I'm having trouble with is centered around web design...but you gotta do what you gotta do. My excuse is my general lack of experience with IE's quirks.

My problem is simple - hopefully the fix is, too. When my website (http://www.infusiondesign.org) is loaded in internet explorer, sometimes the "content" div is centered, as it should be - and sometimes it isn't. When it is centered, hovering over a link generally causes the div to align:left, and it won't center again until you refresh the page. The issue is hard to describe, but it's self-explanatory if yuo visit the page.

I'm baffled - my pages are almost valid XHTML, and they work well in Firefox. Is this some sort of strange quirk with IE, or am I totally incompetent?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Problem Solved, Thanks everyone

My page loads correctly, but when I open a new tab in IE7 so the tab
bar appears, my page shifts to the left, and the menu overlaps/
obscures parts of the images.

I can't find a reason why this happens, can anyone help?

A screenshot of the error can be found below:

Short Sersion:
What the best way to make a link dragabal but not clickable while being dragged?

Long Version:
I have a bunch of icons links (in layers) that the visitor can drag over the screen and even remove if they want to. (it's totally cosmetic, and everything is reset as soon as the page is refreshed, but it ads a level of detail - hence why am doing it)

Since this is an unnecessary function it cannot interfere with the visitor’s ability to use the site smoothly. Therefore my issue; Since the links are dragabal, as soon as you click the link to drag it does what a link does and loads the page (after you release/drop it)

Fix 1. The Shift.
The quickest fix is to set the top margin of the button to the height of the image of the button. This way when you click it the button is shifted down and the handle becomes the area above the button, this way you can’t click the button while dragging.

This does somewhat kill the effects, it looks a little odd when you go to click and drag the link and suddenly the links shifts down and you are holding the empty space above it. But it does solve the problem very simply and there for should be considered.

Fix 2. The DblClick
This is even a simpler fix to fix1 but it could interfere with the usability of the site… Setting the link to activate on a double click instead of a single click. This way the click to drag the button doesn’t activate the link.
http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.php?t=84281

Fix 3. “Block Layer”
Another thought is to show a hidden layer when the drag function is activated this will block the link from being clicked. The “block’ layer can be hid again once the button is dropped, or in my case since I am already using the on drop event and have “only when snapped” checked, set the “block” layer to hide on mouse out, and assign a onclick link to the “block’ layer as well, incase the visitor tries to click the link after dragging it without mouseing off it first.

This as far as I can see is the best compromise, however it adds a lot of additional code and mouse events that could effect the performance of the page.

The best fix would be to disable the onclick event while dragging but I am not sure how to do that, and if you even can. Additionally I would assume that if disabled, the onclick event would need to be enabled after dragging, and since I am already using the on drop/ when dropped event and have “only when snapped” checked that could pose a problem.

Any thoughts?

I wanted to create 2 tables side by side with each other to form 2 columns. What I did was nested 2 tables into 1 table. However when I did this the text of one table is aligned halfway down the column. I tried aligning it to the top but it just stays there. Any idea what the issue is here. I have attached a picture and the source code to show what's going on here. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi

On my site, I have a menu on the left hand side. When the mouse is over each option, the inner part of the table turns blue. Once you click on the text inside the mini table-button, it takes you to where you want to go.

I would like it so that when you click on any part of the table-button it takes you to where you want to go, instead of having to pin-point the cursor to the text.

If you try on my site, I'm sure you will see what I mean. It isn't a major problem, it is just somthing I feel would enhance the user-bility.

Hi everyone,

I am an illiterate HTML dummy , and I am hoping someone could help me with some code for a page I am working on. Here is my code:

HTML Code:

<html>	
<div align="center">



<br><br>
<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10">
		<tr>
			<td width="354" valign="top">
				<p><I><font face="Trebuchet MS"><font size="4">Babies & Children...</p></I></font></font>

<p><font face="Arial">Each day in the life of your child welcomes new changes, and capturing that ephemeral spirit is one of the great joys of our work.

I really want to move the table / text up so it sits underneath my nav bar. Can anyone tell me how to do this??

Thanks!!!

I made this table but I don't know how to move the text away from the table 'wall'. I would like it to be about two or three spaces away. I also just noticed the bullets are outside the table in Firefox. I played with making another table inside the table but couldn't get it right. You can see the example here.

Thank you.
Adam

Hi,

I just thought I'd jump right in with my query. I'm looking to make Text in a table cell vertical, I've come up with solution of inserting <br />'s after each letter

<table>
<tr><th class="green">O<br />n<br />e</th>
<th>Two</th>
<th>Three</th></tr>
</table>

but I just wanted to know, is there a way of achieving this without doing this, can I control the size of the cell with css?

thanks

Hello! I'm using tables to make a neat organized version of a menu online. I am trying to get the prices to align from the right side of the column, in the same line as their respective product, as in
One egg .......... $<--I want this to align from the right of the column

I tried using the <p align=right>TEXT</p> but when I do this the TEXT I include in the code ends up where I want it, but on the next line. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to do this? I tried the same code outside of a table and it does the same thing. What can I do to just make the last bit of the line align from the right?

Thank you immensely for any help, its been a while since I've buffed up my slightly above beginner level understanding of HTML so I'm a bit rusty

Hi, im fairly new to html, and was wondering how i would go about making a script to submit codes like on worldwaralliancecodes.com

any help would be greatly appreciated.
ive been searching for hours on google, but dont know what exactly to search for.

Hello chaps,

I have a .php page and for some unknown reason the text will not centre itself in each of the cells.

It's centred in the horizontal aspect, but vertically it always starts at the top.

I thought that one only had to use the align="centre" tag when declaring the table.

Interestingly if I convert the .php to .htm then the text does centre itself.

What am I missing!

Cheers
