HTML - Scrollable Table ?
HI:
I have a very long table (with 5 columns). I wish to have this table (vertical size="350px") to have a scroll bar on the right-side, so that the user can scroll down thru the table, but yet still see the 'div' below it on the viewport. Suggestions please on a 'scrollable' table. Thanks, -Mel Smith Similar TutorialsI have a Table and I need to have it in some kind of scrollable panel. Is there such a scrollable component? Thanks... Despite reading multiple posts on "scrollable" table cells on the forums, I've not yet quite found the answer to my question, so hopefully I can get some feedback from all viewers out there! I and some friends run a small Catholic arts and crafts website (www.illuminatedink.com) through which we sell products that we create. I've based the page layout on a table instead of frames or iframes. The table has 3 cells in it. The entire top "banner area" of the screen is one cell. Below that on the left we have the naviagation menu cell. The main content that someone is trying to view appears in the remaining lower right cell (also the largest). This page works great on all the computers at my house (3 of them) and on most other computers as well. I have yet to test this in IE 7.0, but if someone else has that browser, please let me know what happens. So, what's the problem you ask? That lower right table cell where all the content appears does not work for everyone. I just got another complaint today that no scroll bar appears and the person can only see what's in the top of cell, there is no "scrollability". Here is a sample (with notes made by me in ** NOTE ** format). The notes are of course not in the actual code, I am showing only the code really matters here. Code: <BODY STYLE="margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px">
<TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 HEIGHT=590 WIDTH=1000>
<TR HEIGHT=90>
<TD WIDTH=1000 COLSPAN=2 STYLE="background-image:url('http://www.illuminatedink.com/images/background/banner.jpg')">
 
</TD>
</TR>
<TR HEIGHT=500>
<TD VALIGN=top WIDTH=200 STYLE="background-image:url('http://www.illuminatedink.com/images/background/menu_bar.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat">
<TABLE ALIGN="center" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
**Navigation menu on the left side goes here**
</TABLE>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH=800 VALIGN="top">
<DIV STYLE="overflow:auto;height:490px;width:800px;position:absolute;left:200;padding-right:30px; padding-left:0px"><MAP NAME="page_links">
**All code for the scrollable cell in the lower right goes here**
</DIV>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
So, can anyone possibly tell me why this would have a scroll bar in some browers and not in others? Or does anyone have any code changes I could make that may guarantee that they will get a scroll bar in that lower right cell? The complaints that I have received mainly seem to be from Mac users using IE for Mac. But I just had someone who had a brand new Dell with Windows XP Prof. and the most recent IE 6, which is exactly the configuration I run, but didn't get a scroll bar when I did. Ideas? Thank you! Hi Guys How do I make scrollable divs ? Like the ones in hotmail contacts when writing a new email. I'm not sure where this should be listed so I'm starting here - Here's the website I'm working on - www.drscopesnaturalhealthcare.com - I'd like to add a textbox under the image below the "news" lable that has a scroll bar on it so it can have quite a bit of content in it but remain a constant size. I know I could do this with frames, but I don't want to use frames. I think I can do this with CSS, but I'm not sure how. Is there an easier way or can some one point me to the element to use in CSS? Thanks. cybergrrl Hi all, I'm quite new to webpage development in HTML & using Dreamweaver 8.0. I am trying to put a small scrollable window within the main webpage, so that the text inside this scrollable window can be scrolled vertically without having to scroll the main window up & down. The webpage I'm building is an FAQs. An example of what I mean can be found on the following webpage : http://www.xe.com/ucc/ where the user can scroll vertically to see more currency options. Please refer to my two screen captures where I've shown the code I used & the screen capture from the browser window. I only want the scrollable window to scroll vertical. Much thanks in advance for your expert help. Andrew Not sure if this is possible or not, but I created a scroll box, which contains a title and then text underneath it. Is there a way to limit the scrollable area, so the title is always fixed at the top of the scroll box and the text scrolls up and disappears just below the title? If its not possible in HTML/CSS, then how else can I do this? Thanks for your help in advance. Hi, I have a div element, that will contain various debug/warning messages from Javascript. If I set it's height to 100%, so to fill the parent element, it overlaps the parent element. How can I automatically set the height, without manually setting the height in pixels? Many thanks for any suggestions. Regards Aaron HTML Code: <div style="border-style: solid; border-width: 3px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; z-index: 1000; position: fixed; top: 252px; left: 582px; width: 494px; height: 202px; background-color: white; display: block;"> <h1 style="width: 100%; height: 20px; font-size: 12px; display: block; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-bottom-style: solid; vertical-align: middle;"><img src="https://127.0.0.1/beer2/i/clear.png" style="cursor: pointer;" alt="clear"/><img src="https://127.0.0.1/beer2/i/min.png" style="cursor: pointer;" alt="Minimise"/> Debug Window</h1> <div style="overflow: scroll; width: 100%; height: 100%; font-size: 12px; position: static;"> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> <p>test</p> </div> </div> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so please correct me if I'm doing anything wrong or if this post is in the wrong section. I have a custom template for my website which allows you to scroll down and view my photographs. I would like to keep it this way BUT I would like to implement Google Ads on either sides of my centered content. I want these ads to be stationary even if a viewer is scrolling to the bottom of my site. Is this possible, and even then, is it hard to do? I really appreciate your help. Here is the link to my website if that helps. http://floatingcity.tumblr.com Cheers, Kyle How i create a frame type space( which is scrollable ) similar to seperate window inside a webpage ? Here is an image depicting the trouble I'm having: I want to make a table, consisting of many cells. These cells would be fixed, and *very different* in sizes. It's easy to make a no-space table when all the images are exactly the same size, but when you have images with a variety of sizes, the table doesn't fit perfectly. Basically I want to create a collage of images with overlay text on each image. My idea was that I could create a table, and each cell (td) would have a background which is the image. Then I could just type in that cell, so the text would be over the image. Then I'd do this for every one of my images, and a collage would be formed. The problem is, the table makes large white spaces wherever the image sizes don't match! How do I get rid of these spaces, or is there an entirely different code/approach I should be using? Thanks! Here is my current code: HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table.nospace {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.nospace tr {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
table.nospace td {
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<TABLE class="nospace" width="2040px" height="2000px" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px">

</TABLE>

</html>
The table itself is working fine, but the size of each cell is not correct in Firefox. Here is a screenshot of what is happening: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1938/tabletroubles.gif Here is the head of my page, the css for the table is he HTML Code:
<style type="text/css">
#cat table {border:0px solid #333333; cell-padding:0; cell-spacing:0; align=center}
#cat tr {align=center}
#cat td {font-size: 13px; font-family=tahoma; font-weight: bold; padding: 0px; border:0px solid #333333; align=center;}
#cat td a {text-decoration: none; color:#757575; background-color: white; display:block; height=23; background-image: url(linkbg1.gif); align=center;}
#cat td a:hover {background-color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;color: #ffffff; background-image: url(linkbg2.gif); align=center;}
</style>
and here is the table code, located in the body of the page: HTML Code: <div style="Height:53px; overflow:auto; width:900px; position:absolute; top:0; left:0"> <TABLE bgcolor=#333333 cellspacing=0; cellpadding=0;><tr><td> <div id="cat"> <table width=900; cellpadding:0px; cellspacing:0px> <tr align=center> <td width=20%> <font face=tahoma><a href="home.html">Home</a></font> </td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="openings.html" target="_top">Openings</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="dance.html" target="_top">Dance</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="projects.html" target="_top">Projects</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="vocaloid.html" target="_top">Vocaloid</a></font></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="fanflashes.html" target="_top">Fanflashes</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="caramelldansen.html" target="_top">Caramelldansen</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="cosplay.html" target="_top">Cosplay</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="endings.html" target="_top">Endings</a></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="anime.html" target="_top">Anime Episodes</a></font></font></center></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td></tr></table> </div> A table is nested within another table. The table on the outside has no content, it is there to make a gray border around everything else. If you look at the table in firefox & internet explorer, you'll see that in IE- the table is much thicker than in firefox. How can i make it so that the table in Firefox will have the same thickness as the one in IE? I could really use some help. Thanks! I would like to know if there is such a thing as a tag within a table, that can collapse if the next table within that prior one gets too big to center? Here is an example of a part of my code: Code: <table style="width:757; border-style:solid; border-width:thin; margin:0 0 15px 0">

1. I want to center each column so that the first letter of each book title is lined-up, but that the longest title on each column has equal space on both left and right. 2. If you look at each column, the width is about 245px. With regard to the first book title in the first column, I have 50px that is extra, therefore I'd like to automatically add 25px to the front of each one of the books for that column. 3. On the second column, there is about 80px extra, therefore I'd like to auto-add 40px to the front of each book in that column. My problem is that I don't want the column centered individually because then I will lose the straight line that I'd like each book to be on top of each other as it starts the line. I tried: style="margin-left:20px" and style="padding-left:20px" but when the title got too long it would not auto-collapse the left side, I want it to collapse! I want one tag that I can insert evenly on every section to get the push to the right an even amount of spaces for every book on each column. If it comes down to it, I wouldn't mind sacrificing that each column gets auto aligned to what is necessary for its own column. So if I have to use one number, say 30px, for the whole webpage, then ok, I'd do it. My problem is that sometimes the 30px empty filler space for the left, in order to push the title to the right, is not enough space for a very long title and it winds up sending half the title to the next line, which I don't want. This code is a list of books that spans about 20 categories and about 400 book titles. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer. I will be brief in hoping that the issue does not require a thesis to properly fix. I'm dealing with tables within tables..within tables. In one instance, I have a 2x1 (row by column) table inside another table. So, we'll call the inside table "B" and the outside table "A". Table B is centered inside a column in Table A. I'm trying to maximize the space, but nearly nothing works. Setting Table B height=100% does nothing. The only thing that works is setting the height=N px, where N is a number. This is no good, as I want to the site to work on all resolutions. I want it to be proportional. How can I fix this? Here's what I'm dealing with, visually: Any help would be welcome. Thanks. Hello, I am newbie, just has started my adventure with html. I tried to make an easy static site, without any additional thingd, but it occured a problem. 1. I mean, as I put table in table because I did know how to to id in different way, to make buttons on the left stay up while text on the right is moving- if I do normal table with 2columns and on the left lets say 5rows for buttons, on the right I unite all rows to make one big sort of box for contents, as I go down and try to write something morre, the rows from the letf were enlarging too If the size of explorer or firefox is nor full screen, the text in contents is going away (like now in lycos server, where screen is not full, but "cut" by advertise) 2. I have highlighted buttons, but not always works, why? (i mean it works, but darker buttons are charging so slow- maybe it is so because i saved them in pgn instead in gif, and each one is about 50kb?) -probably it is not this- because I have just changed into gif, and it is still the same 3. Another problem, as I post the site, I have notice, that in firefox I can not navigate with buttons, while in explorer yes, is it a fault of my coding, or of server where I put website? Here I post my website: http://members.lycos.co.uk/aniaacolgate/ Could someone take a look on the code, and will be so kind to correct me? It is a basic easy site of very begginger I just wanted to make a shape like this: - top: a banner - buttons in horizontal and vertical way - under buttons: contents (sincerly would like to put frames, but do not know how to put them there, is on the left there r buttons Thank you so much in advance for reply Sorry for mistakes in language I have a list within a table and much of the content has links to two different javascript codes. One is a popup javascript to so that I can control the window size and the other is a toggle.display javascript to show/hide specific details about my list. The scripts run fine, but for some odd reason the content in my table gets cut off randomly towards the end of the list. I went through to make sure that I didn't have any div tags nested.. etc.. and i'm now at a complete loss as to why my content within the table gets randomly cut off. Any help would me much appreciated. The link for the site is he http://netimpact.org/displaycommon.c...rticlenbr=2440. You'll notice at the very bottom of the table it randomly stops.. It's hard to explain, but basically I want to achieve creating a smaller file looking portion of my site, with a larger around and tabs. Basically this: I currenty just have the outer red table, using .gif's to round the corners. I tried copying the code again to place in the middle of the red table code and it doesn't work. Any help to achieve this effect would be great. Here is the code I am using: PHP Code: <table width="450" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="background-color: #086591"> <tr> <td width="14"><img src="images/top_left.jpg" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt="..." /></td> <td width="172"></td> <td width="14"><img src="images/top_right.jpg" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt="..." /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> CONTENT HERE <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="images/bottom_left.jpg" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt="..." /></td> <td></td> <td><img src="images/bottom_right.jpg" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt="..." /></td> </tr> </table> Thanks for any help. the bold stuff is what i added in to try and make it sortable and it didn't work.

that should be what you need..i exported an excel file as an xhtml file and read the source code and that's how it was, real unorganized and such. basically it's got stats of baseball players and i want to make them easily sortable. i created a sortable table using another piece of code but have to manually enter everything in if i do it that way. Hi, i'm completely new with HTML. I'm making a website for a student activity group i'm in. We chose for me, because i had a little javascript experience. Thats more than most of us. Here goes the story. We are organizing a trip for other students. The students can enroll for the trip on the website. The form uses the following code; Code: <?php
$myFile = "enrollments.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file");
$stringData ="<tr><td>".$_POST["name"]."</td><td>".$_POST["tel"]."</td><td>".$_POST["mail"]."</td><td>".$_POST["rnumber"]."</td><td>".$_POST["shirt"]."</td><td>".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."</td><td>".date("d-m, G:i:s")."</td></tr>\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
?>
Named post.php The code results in a simple file with only <tr>info</tr><tr>info2</tr>. Another page uses the following code to show the enrollments Code: <table id='enrollments'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Tel</th><th>Mail</th><th>Reknumber</th><th>Shirt</th><th></th><th>IP</th><th>Time</th></tr>
<?php include('enrollments.php'); ?>
</table>
named showenroll.html Right. So far so good. Now we'd like to show the students which are thinking about enrolling howmany other students already have enrolled. In other words, i'd like to count the number of rows in the "showenroll.html" and display that in the index.html. Ive found trough google the var (document.getElementById('ID')). However, i'm not able to add this var to the index.html, and direct it to a element ID on another page. As most newbs would do, i've tried document.getElementById('./showenroll/enrollments') I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how i can direct the document.getElementById to an element id that is not on the same page. And, if this is impossible, how i can make a counter of the enrollments Drayn p.s. ive tried to search this forum on table row counter, but it didn't provide the right solution(s?) for me. I have a table and after I select the question (the ball) I would like the answer to come up in another column in that table. Is that too much? Keep'er simple please. Thanks. |
