HTML - Cell Length Discrepancies In Different Browsers
Hi, I'm writing a website using tables (0 border and space etc.) so that things don't move around on different computers and browsers.
However, I've run into a bit of trouble with a particular cell. The one in questions is my navigation menu. I have it written in php as a separate page and used the include tag to load it onto the index. It consists of a table of height 600 and a single column with a couple of cells. Now, from my reasoning, the the 600 table height of the nagivation menu/page should easily fit into the 600 cell height of it's space on the index. This is reflected when I view the page using IE - all of the border/frame images that I had made went together perfectly. However, when I view the page with FireFox, the navigation menu seems to be too short in that the first navigation cell does not immediately appear after the top border line. There is a blank white space. Also, it seems to have stretched that particular row because the right most border on the index, which is not connected to anything else and is it's own image, is centerized so that there is white space left (indicating the cell was incremented height wise). Does anyone know if this is a fixable discrepancy? A link to the test page is: VA Test Page I can provide a link to the menu page if it's needed... Anxiously awaiting a reply whether it's related or not Similar Tutorialshuntergraphics.org I have just finished coding this website from scratch. It displays correctly in Chrome and Safari, but IE and Firefox add weird borders around my pictures and throw off my alignment. What causes this and how do I fix it? Hi there, I am currently building a website in dreamweaver. It's going slow but so far I have overcome ever problem with the help of people like you! The problem I'm at at the moment is pretty tricky. If you visit. http://aquariusspa.co.uk/flw%5Fver2/flw_ver2.html This site I built with photoshop and then exported as html. Now i'm adding content and the nav bar (which isn't quite working right!). So what i'm looking to do is have the main box (one with welcome in it) change height depending on what i enter in to it. Every page has different amount of text. Now I could just build every page in photoshop for the desired page height but surely there must be a way of stretching what i've got with out wreaking the graphics. Thanks in advance. S Hi 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. 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 hi, I have this:<form > <input id="Email" maxlength="40" name="Email" size="40" type="text" value=""><br /> <input id="pwd" maxlength="40" name="pwd" size="40" type="password" value=""> <label for="Submit"> </label> <input id="Submit" name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> In Safari and Firefox, the two boxes look the same length, you can see from diff_ff.jpg, but in IE, it looks different(please see diff.jpg), if I change "password" to "text" they will look the same in length, any solution to this? Thanks, A.C. Hi All, Is there any maximum length for tooltip for html tags? How can I determine the possible max length? Rahul.... Please take a look at this page: http://lifeengineering.org/ Try out the menu links and see what I'm talking about. The "short" pages shift horizontally. In other words, if the div block with the content doesn't reach the bottom of the browser window, then it's rendered in a different horizontal position. So, changing the pages through the menu makes the pages appear to "jump". NOTE: You'll need a reasonably big resolution to see what I'm talking about (e.g. 1152 x 864+). Any suggestions on how to correct this? Is there a way to pad blank spaces at the end of my content in the div block to ensure that it always reaches the end of the browser window? Or something similar? ------ Issue #2: My background isn't ideal. I like the rainbow, but I'd like to change it. If I wanted to make the rainbow arc appear stationary as I scroll the page (i.e. to have the upper left arc of the rainbow always appear on the upper left corn of the screen), how would I do it? Any other suggestions, artistically, with respect to the page background? Thank you kindly! Hi. I have a very discrete light blue color in the background from a previous template. It ends about halfway through the bottom area and I'd like to extend it throughout the entire page without moving/overwriting anything else please. www.movehumanityforward.com Thank you I have a menu made up of one div and within that div are more divs to make up the separate menu items. I am trying to add a background colour to the holding div but it's not having any effect. When I investigate the div order in web developer it shows that it's not extending to the height of the menu divs inside it. Please help. It's menu_nav I am trying to put a background on.

hello, new member here so hiya! I have a site and I have a div containing all the page. At first I gave it a height just so I could put CSS in and see what it's like. After I have taken out the height though, the div shrinks to like 1 pixel. Why isn't it as long as it's containing divs - including left column, main section, footer? Many thanks This is one of these things where you probably should just go to bed and forget all the confusion. My question: How the heck can you specify the length of the option field for a drop town list? I am sure ther is an embarrasingly simple answer. Thanks a lot and good night! How do I figure out the lenght of the page (content, not browser window) so that I can make all of my regions line up at the bottom? I noticed that % in the height attribute is related to the window not content. I have also tried auto, but that is different for different content. My page has an outside region, a left nav bar and a content region, and I don't know how to make the bottom line up without tables. Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks in advance. The adage of 'give a man a fish and he'll be fed; give a man Dreamweaver and he thinks he's a designer' is alive and well with these glitches. http://www.zenarchy.co.uk/test11.htm is a design draft and there are two problems. The first is that the central span that houses 'High quality call recording software' doesn't match up to the end and sit flush. It's almost there in firefox but is miles off in IE. I'd like it to work in both. <td width="100%" height="22" bgcolor="#91a2a0"> <p align="center"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>High quality call recording software</strong></font></b></td> is the code I've identified as relevant, but opening the hood and checking the source might be wiser! 2. How do I extend the columns on either side to sit flush at the bottom against the graphite baseline? Your thoughts please (aside from get a pro to do it...) Cheers! hi My code is- <HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE> <TR><TD> <SELECT NAME="Date"> <OPTION>1</OPTION> <OPTION>2</OPTION> : : <OPTION>30</OPTION> <OPTION>31</OPTION> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> it will show the numbers from 1 to 31 in the drop down with long scrollbar. My problem is - I want show only 10 numbers.User need to scroll and select other numbers. Is it possible? Ok I know this isn't really a HTML issue, but to avoid complex clientside pixel-counting of fonts I've thought of something far more simple. I need to limit the length of a string to stop it wrapping. The first step is to limit the string's length in characters, using the following php script: PHP Code: function trim_string($string) { $trim_string = '...'; $chars = 55; $chars_adjusted = $chars - strlen($trim_string); if (strlen($string) > $chars) { $string = substr($string,0,$chars_adjusted); $string .= $trim_string; } return $string; } Fine, no problem. Now however the strings are not all of equal length because of differences in length of each character (see the warmdebate.com homepage for my debacle). I thought that a relatively simple solution would be to simple use some sort of CSS or HTML wizardry to stretch the trimmed string to a fixed length (like full alignment, only for a non-wrapped string). Since this doesn't involve pixel counting or anything like that I figure it should be doable in CSS or HTML. Also, if there are any standard solutions to this other than what I'm proposing please let me know! I am trying to make a page that has a DTML (dynamic expanding links), and a right hand column - Below is my code. I want to make the right hand colunm (most common questions grey area) a fixed height. It seems to be the length of the page as if all the menus are clicked on and opened even if they are closed. How can I make it a fixed height regardless of how many links (dhtml) are opned or not so that most common questions are no longer than say 500 pixles. Any suggestions would be handy. I can send code / page as its to long to paste here! Thanks, Ryan Hi, I am new in web designing. I need your guidance. I want to break a word if it is longer than table width. May be I am not good at Engilsh. So I'll explain it using example. Following is my code. Code: <html> <body> <table align="justify" width="100" border"3"> <tr> <td> TE-sdf-sdf-hkjd </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> As here you can see the word "TE-sdf-sdf-hkjd" length is more than 100px. So the width of table becomes more than 100px. I want to break the word and fix the width of table to 100px. How can I achieve that? Waiting for your reply. If you want to download a variable length text file, what would be the correct http headers to use? I have a left menu column but it's not stretching down the length of the page. The page is quite long and when the links are finished on left column it just ends and as it has abackground colour it looks a little strange. It is floated left and the main_section is also floated left. It is the main section div that is long. I was thinking because this is in a div that the left coumn is also in that the left column would therefore stretch to the length of it's parent div. Any ideas? http://absolute-websites.com/services.html is the link so you can see what I'm talking about. Here is a section of the HTML : HTML Code:
<div class="left_column">
<div class="breadcrumb"><p><a href="index.html">home ></a>services</p></div>

I have this login on a website i'm doing, in Firefox, Opera & Safari the two text fields and the login button are aligned to the very left of the page but in IE the text boxes only stay about 15px further to the right. This means they are out of line with other elements on the page Can anyone tell from this code below what i'm doing wrong or do you need more code to go on. <form name=login> <table width=200 border=0 align="left" cellpadding=3> <td><input type=text name=username></td></tr> <td><input type=text name=password></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2 align=left><input type=button value="Login!" onClick="Login()"></td></tr> </table> </form> cheers |
