HTML - Multi-cell Table With Background Changing

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.

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:

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>

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!

Hello,

I am using a template to make a webpage. The background for one of the cells is not covering the entire area. I have looked and looked at this and can not figure it out. Therefore I thought I would ask some pros.
Thanks!!

Okay, here's what I've got: two nested tables next to each other, both with two cells in them. The bottom cell on the left table is just a filler, and has a background image to complete the layout of the site -- however, since there's no content in it, it doesn't show up. Giving it a set pixel height makes it show up, but I can't do this, as the content in the other table changes. So, I need this cell (the bottom one on the left) to automatically size itself to whatever the other table is. A height="100%" attribute also doesn't work...

Help? Thanks. :]

I would like to put an image as a background image in a data cell to prevent unauthorized copying (or help prevent thereof). However, when I do this the image begins to repeat itself if the data cell is slightly larger than the image specs.

The images are located here at www.gabegarcia.com All images on the left side of the pages is what I would like to make background images without the repeat.

What would I have to add to accomplish this?

Hi everyone.

So I got my template set up to the way I like it and everything is rolling good. I inserted a picture into one of the cells in the table and it shifts everything over.

Here is my code:

<td width="625" colspan="1" bgcolor="white">
<font type="Arial" size ="5" color="blue">
<b>Floorplan</b><br>
<center>
<a href="floorplanlarge.jpg"><img src="floorplansmall.jpg" border="0" /></a>
</center>
</td>

I have been working on fixing this for the last hour and am out of ideas on what is going on. The picture is smaller than the cell width range. My picture width is 311 pixels and the cell width is 625 pixels.

I dont know if there is code whether its HTML or CSS to prevent the cell from widening.

Any help would be appreciated. Also if you need me to provide more detail I can. Thanks.

I have (for my sins - should have read up on css earlier) a table-based site, essentially with header, footer, left and right cells and the main piece in the middle.

I have used different background colours, but am wanting to highlight the middle bit.

I have used a border, but that seems to centre on the edge of the cell - ie half the specified border size is inside the cell and half outside. The effect of this is that my two side pieces have whitespace before they start.

Is there any way to specify a 'border' which stays totally within its relevant cell ?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have a problem with tables cells containing form buttons:

Code:

<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">

<button id="button-submit_2" type="submit">Add Name</button>
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;</form>

<form action="nrt-home-edit&delete.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="class_name" value="$class_name[0]"/>
<button id="button-submit_2" type="submit">Finish</button></form>

</td>
</tr>

The above code puts the two buttons on their own lines within the table cell. My question is, does anybody know how to keep them on the same line without putting them into their own individual cells?

i want to open a frame by clicking on a cell,i can only do this when the ref is outside the table,can you help?
Thanks everybody

Hi,

I have a template made that my friend made in photoshop and slice the image to be able to put them in html.

The problem is when I put too much text the cell on both side of the middle one are resizing too. is there a way to lock them from resizing and get only the cell that i want to resize?

I'll put the html code here and thx a lot!

BTW When it say: this cell resize verticaly - it mean that I want this cell to resize and not the others

I recently made a rollover menu, and though the text does highlight when I roll over the cell, the link only works if I rollover the word is the cell. Is there a way to make the cell itself link?

So i am building a site for a friend, and created a navigational bar across the top with 7 tabs. The bg color is currently blue with white letters, and I want to make it white with black letters on a mouseover. I tried a couple different things from google, and nothing worked. Here is the code for the table. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks!
