HTML - Cross-browser Table Cell Width
I actually feel a bit ridiculous because i can't solve a problem that will probably be as easy as hell...
anyway, i have a table with some collspans and rowspans in it, but i can't seem to be able to set the width for the site in IE... Here's a simple representation of the table, since it's generated dynamically with PHP, so the number of rows and columns is not always the same...but the structure is: HTML Code: <table> <tr> <th rowspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">left column header</th> <th colspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">column 1 title</th> <th colspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">column 2 title</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="min-width=60px;">value1</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value2</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value1</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row1 name</td> <td>row1 col1 value1</td> <td>row1 col1 value2</td> <td>row1 col2 value1</td> <td>row1 col2 value2</td> </tr> </table> So it should look a bit like this: Code: ------------------------------- | 120px | 120px | 120px | | |---------|---------| | |60px|60px|60px|60px| |---------|----|----|----|----| |rowname1 |val1|val2|val1|val2| |---------|----|----|----|----| |rowname2 |val1|val2|val1|val2| ------------------------------- there can be more rows with rowname, and more columns with the colspans... now in mozilla firefox this works just fine, but not in IE...even worse, if one of the values in the columns that are supposed to be 60px wide is negative, IE inserts a break between the '-' symbol and the numbers... i'm using HTML 4.01 Strict by the way... Similar TutorialsHi 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. 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 am having trouble converting the following example table into a nice tableless layout: Code: <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><img src="./left_image.gif" border="0" /></td> <td style="background: url(./bg_image.gif) top left repeat-x;" width="100%">Content</td> <td><img src="./right_image.gif" border="0" /></td> </tr> </table> The main problem is that center 100% width cell. A 100% width div with a div either side doesn't work... Any ideas on how I would go about this? Hi all, I am a totally new to html, "yesterday I could not even spell it". I am working on a simple project where I have used a table to store page information (text and pictures), I read it somewhere it is the best way to do it. I figured out how to set the context width in the cell (<td width="20">) but how do set the width of the cell? Remember, I am not building "The Windsor Castle" just a little cuby house in the back so everything should be as simple aspossble, not necessarily the fastets and most versatile. Thanks in advance. If anyone can help with this problem I would be very grateful. It's a problem I notice on a fairly regular basis so I guess I am over looking something when I am working with tables. Basically my table sizes look completely different in IE than they do in Firefox. Here is an example of a table I'm working on that appears massive in firefox yet is keeping its correct dimensions of height 287 pixels in IE. http://www.orolin.co.uk/prices.html Can anyone shed any light on this problem?. It would be much appriciated. Many Thanks, Jamie IE8 and Chrome display this as I would like. Firefox does something strange: any cell that doesn't have a corresponding cell in the next row down will be extended into that row. Any ideas?

I have a very simple table that I cannot simply get to render correctly across IE, Firefox, and Opera. At first, I was using CSS to define the cell widths/heights - when that was giving me issues I got rid of all the CSS and attempted to use plain HTML. The problem persisted. Here's the code - it doesn't get much simpler than this: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tr> <td width="15" height="33">a</td> <td>b</td> <td>c</td> <td width="15" height="33">d</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4" rowspan="1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML> Appearance in Opera Appearance in IE7 Appearance in Firefox (this is what I want it to look like in all browsers) I haven't done HTML seriously in 7-8 years or so but I don't really remember having these problems with IE/Netscape. The fix I found for IE was to use style="table-layout: fixed" for the table: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="table-layout: fixed"> <tr> <td width="15" height="33">a</td> <td>b</td> <td>c</td> <td width="15" height="33">d</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4" rowspan="1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML> Now IE works fine, Firefox didn't break, but Opera's cells still are not 15 pixels. IE7 Appearance fixed Here's my attempt at getting Opera to display it properly by mixing CSS and HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="table-layout: fixed"> <tr> <td style="width: 15px; height: 33px" width="15" height="33">a</td> <td style="height: 33px">b</td> <td style="height: 33px">c</td> <td style="width: 15px; height: 33px" width="15" height="33">d</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 100%" width="100%" colspan="4" rowspan="1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML> Opera looks even worse now This seems like such a simple table. I really don't understand why I'm having such a hard time. I believe the second row - using colspan is causing the issue. Please don't answer with - "dont use tables" or something silly like that Thank you -TableTrTd 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 This page looks exactly like I want it to in Firefox but not in ie6 or ie7. In ie6 the fieldsets are different heights but I want them to be the same (as in firefox) and in ie7 some of the submit buttons are hidden. Can someone help me with this? Thanks... Hi - Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out layout problems on the following page: www.marchgallery.com/comments.php I'm designing on a mac, and everything looks good in Safari. When I open up in Firefox, though, the comments are way below the intro text and the layout of the submission form is all messed up. I've never experienced this much difference in appearance between these two browsers. Maybe someone (nearly all of you) are viewing on PC? How does it look on that end? I'm really at a loss here. Any clues or suggestions would be much appreciated! this site secretsoffitnessrevealed.com the menu bar links show up correctly in firefox but they show up vertically in IE and the home link doesnt work all together anything that wud fix it? heres the code HTML Code: <head>

Hi all. I'm working on developing a site mostly for practice now, and I'm stumped by the prospect of cross-browser compatibility. My first inclination was to use javascript to write a stylesheet declaration for each browser type and then create each stylesheet so that it is styled for each particular browser. Then I discovered the horrendous rendering differences between even different VERSIONS of the same browsers. The most notable hiccup-fest I've encountered has been IE6 and IE7. IE6 seems to go berserk at just about every possible attribute for the div tag. This means that my styles for IE7 won't display correctly in IE6. So my question is pretty simple. Is the only way for me to make cross-browser compatibility a reality for me to create about 12 different versions of the same stylesheet? I'd really love to avoid that if possible. Alternatives would be much loved. Also, I'm currently using the XHTML 1.1 doctype. Would it be a big no-no for me to simply emphasize that my code conforms to the latest standards and any rendering errors are probably due to an out of date browser? I know this would alienate some users, but as the same time, I also feel that users should be encouraged to upgrade. If you visit http://jacobkelleydesigns.com/other/SE/index.php in Safari, the menu is lined up correctly, yet in Firefox, the contact button drops below the other buttons, leading me to believe the width in the css is incorrect, but it works well in Safari. If I changed it to be wider, it'd work in firefox but not safari I'm assuming. Here is my style sheet. CSS What could be causing this? I have created a web page which is running acquratey on IE8 but not running acqurately on IE7 or other version. Hi All - Check out www.theSalve.org/flashVid.htm - Any ideas why the layout is different in Explorer and Firefox or even Safari and Opera for that matter. I realize I'm not using CSS. Don't know how to yet. Anything I can add to make it look the same on all browsers? I've been designing this site on a mac, and have tested it on several mac compatible browsers without much trouble. I just tried it on IE and a some things are messed up. http://www.jonniedredge.com First, all my images look really grainy and gross in IE (not just the ones on the home page). Anyone know why that is? Next, on the home page is a .swf file that has a black background, but the background appears white in IE. Also that .swf is in a table cell that should make up just the top corner of that main div, with a height of 50 pixels. But in IE, and FF, this cell takes up about 2/3 the height of the div. Here's my CSS in case that helps: Code: /***************Body, etc.*****************/

Thats all for now. I entitled it 'bugs' because I'm bound to find others Thank you so much in advance for your time/help! *EDIT* Seems to happen to all non-active links: Just like everyone else is seeming to have lately, I am apparently one of those lucky people anyways i am having a problem positioning my whole page between browsers. It works just how i want it in firefox (centered kind of), but in ie6, and ie7 its all scrunched to the left. anyways the link to my site is: http://uberwalla.110mb.com It would be greatly appreciated for some help also help on any other browser there might be problems with would be great. If anyone has safari, netscape and opera i mean. to help me format my template. well thanks a bunch! - uberwalla firefox ie what am i missing in the css to make firefox look like ie thanks |
