HTML - Html Table Cross Browser Issue
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? 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"> <head><title> Untitled Page </title> <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/SMSTool.NET/css/StyleSheet.css" /> <style type="text/css"> table{ border-collapse:collapse; border:solid black 1px; } td, th{ border:solid black 1px; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td>TD</td><th>TH</th><th>TH</th><td>TD</td></tr> <tr><th>TH</th><td>TD</td><td>TD</td></tr> <tr><th>TH</th><td>TD</td><td>TD</td></tr> <tr><td>TD</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsIf 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 When you go to my site www.sforu.com with IE 6 or IE7 the picture is all misaligned, So could you take a look and let me know whats wrong with it, because it's driving me crazy Thank you 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> 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... Hello, I designed this website http://www.aitputd.org/conference and found that it has compatibility issues when viewed with different browsers. e.g. The 'font' of the menu changes (becomes bold) when viewed in IE and Chrome browsers as opposed to FF3.5 Also The title 'sponsors' on the left does not stay at the center in IE and FF3.5 but seems good in Chrome. Is there a solution to address these problems?? Any help is highly appreciated. Regards, NP Greetings, This is my first post... I'm a novice web developer and pro drummer running www.ProMusicTeachers.com. The site is php/mysql, we have a search function smack in the middle of the index page that is set up as a <table>. The table should have a background image... this is the code I'm using is <table border="0" bgcolor="#FF9900" background="/images/searchgraphic.jpg" align="center" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" width="617"> to create the table, then comes the form. However, the background image shows up only in Safari, but not IE or Firefox. This seems like a very simple tag... and I swear last night it showed up in Firefox too but this morning will not. Any suggestions? Much thanks, Brian hi, i know the resources including java script files ,images and css files are cacheable. i really doubt, is HTML table elements ,tr elements and td elements are cacheable ? how does it works? 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... I recently finished creating this html/css layout design. It's been put together with the use of tables, and is valid CSS and XHTML 1.0. However it just won't seem to show up correctly in any browser other than Internet Explorer. What is up!? Can someone please check my code over and help me out? I need to have this done by tomorrow and am totally lost! Thanks in advance!

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! 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? 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.*****************/ body { background-color: #000000; font-family: times, serif; } #container { margin: 0 auto; width: 750px; padding-bottom: 5px; /***** for layout development background-color:#FFEEEE; *******/ } a { text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } a:visited { color: #b0b0b5; } a:hover { color: #475890; } .blank { height: 100px; } .blank2 { height: 50px; } /***************Bottom Links*****************/ .linksBot { border: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #c0c0c8; /***background-color: #CCFF66;****/ } p.linksBot { text-align: center; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; } a.linksBot { color: #c0c0c8; text-decoration: underline; } a.linksBot:hover { color: #475890; } /***************Banner*****************/ .banner { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; margin-bottom: 75px; background-color: black; color: #b0b0b5; font-size: 20px; font-family: copperplate, times, serif; } td.current { text-decoration: underline; } /***************Home*****************/ #home { border: 0px; font-family: copperplate, times, serif; } #main { color: #c0c0c8; width: 750px; font-size: 20px; text-align: center; outline: 3px solid #222530; border: 0px; } #pno {} #welccell { background-color: #444550; width: 250px; } #welcome { margin: 18px; color: #d0d0d5; font-family: times, serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } /**************Bio*****************/ #headshot { float: left; margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 5px solid #d8d8e0; } #bioContainer { background-color: #6080a2; color: #d8d8e0; padding: 20px; height: 300px; } p.bio:first-line { text-indent: 2em; } /***************Audio*****************/ #audioContainer { margin: auto; width: 650px; background-color: #6080a2; color: #d8d8e0; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-top: 7px; margin-bottom: 75px; } .audioClips { background-color:transparent; margin:auto; width: 620px; } caption { font-size: 46px; line-height: 1; text-align: left; font-family: copperplate, serif; } .sngDesc { font-size:13px; } .sngDesc:first-line { font-weight: bold; width: 300px; font-size:15px; } .sng { text-align: right; } /***************Video*****************/ #vidLeft { float: left; width: 225px; height: 350px; background-color: #6080a2; color: #d8d8e0; margin-bottom: 75px; } #vidOutCont { float: right; width: 525px; height: 350px; background-color: #6080a2; margin-bottom: 75px; } .vidDesc { font-size: 12px; margin: 15px; margin-top: 50px; } p.vidDesc:first-line { font-size: 20px; } embed.vid { margin-left: 22px; margin-right: 23px; margin-top: 32px; } #vidContainer { background-color: #333333; margin:auto; margin-top: 32px; width: 480px; height: 286px; } /************Contact*************/ #contactPic { float: right; padding: 20px; } #contact { padding: 30px; height: 280px; background-color: #6080a2; color: #d8d8e0; } Ideas? This is my first site, so sorry if I'm a little slow with it. 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. I have created a web page which is running acquratey on IE8 but not running acqurately on IE7 or other version. Hey Would anyone be able to help me with these cross browser bugs please? 1. FF/IE8 pagination bug Firefox: IE8: (the tiny block behaves like an extension '2' block) The CSS: Code: ul { border:0; margin:0; padding:0; } #pagelink li { border:0; margin:0; padding:0; font-size:10px; font-family:Arial; list-style:none; margin-right:2px; } #pagelink a { border:solid 1px #404040; background-color:#272727; margin-right:2px; } #pagelink .previous-off,#pagelink .next-off { border:solid 1px #404040; color:#dbdbdb; display:block; float:left; margin-right:2px; padding:2px 3px; } #pagelink .next a,#pagelink .previous a { font-weight:bold; } #pagelink .active { background:#97D5E2; color:#0e0e0e; display:block; float:left; padding:2px 6px; } #pagelink a:link,#pagelink a:visited { color:#dbdbdb; display:block; float:left; padding:1px 5px; text-decoration:none; } #pagelink a:hover { border:solid 1px #5F5F5F; color:#fff; } 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: I was planning to use an <embed> tag to include audio files on my website. Is it compatible with almost all browsers and platforms? Is it something I can depend on? Hey, I'm having a small problem with cross browser compatibility. In Internet Explorer my site looks exactly the way I want it to, no problems. However, in Firefox and Opera there is a space between the navigation and the content. I investigated my code and can't pinpoint the problem. Can you tell me what it is? So if you could just tell me the problem with no example, URL, or code that'd be great. I'm just kidding. The URL is TeamFlank.info. Here is some screen shots of it... IE: *click to enlarge* FF: *click to enlarge* |
