HTML - Html Table Percentage Width Problem.
Hello Everyone! (hoping for quick reply.. lol)
I am not sure if this should go here, or in the design section. I chose here, because it is a problem in the code itself. I have introduced myself in the introductory section, if you want to know a little bit more about what I am doing this for. I made a template design in The Gimp photo editor. I sliced it up, and opened up the HTML file in the editor Kompozer. It opened up just like it should, but I wanted a liquid type layout, so I turned the cell's widths into the corresponding percentages, though Kompozer rounded them off. (Shown below) However, when I previewed the file this time, it appeared as if it skipped every other cell, leaving a blank white space in its spot. Not even in the right percentages. I think I know what I've done wrong, looking back now that I am writing this thread. Can someone please point me in the right direction? EDIT: Code posted as comment, due to lack of character room. Similar TutorialsHi, I have to display the results in 20 columns, in that 14 columns are frozen, rest of them are scrollable, when I give table widht in % then scrollbar presents to view the data in Firefox. If I see the same in IE, it doesnt show all the data, and there is no scrollbar. If I give the table width in px form then to some extent I am able to see the scrollbar in IE, and minimum pixel I had to give is 3000 and above. Is there any common solution to me to fix this so that I can see same both the browsers. We would like to have solution, width in % not in px. Please let me know the solution for this. I have attached the zip file for your reference to see the code, please run in IE and Firefox and check it. Advanced thanks, Venkat 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. 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. Here is my current code: <TABLE width="215" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> VARIABLE TEXT </td> <td align="left"> IMAGE </td> </tr> </TABLE></td> </tr> <tr> <td> random text that is lengthy </td> </tr> </TABLE> My problem is that I want the image to be displayed right next to the variable text . but since the variable can be any length, it is not getting displayed right next to the image. It is turning out to have a large gap in between the variable and the image. The variable can be any length... it could be "hi" or "hellooooooooo" but the image still needs to be displayed exactly to the right of it. How can I fix this? ok, im trying to make a shoutbox and i need the box to be a max width of 200px. But, since the shoutbox entries are going to be dynamic, theres a problem. In a table cell, if you have a string of characters without spaces, it will extend the width of the table cell (and entire table if appropriate) in order to accomodate this... The problem is, i need the table width to stay constant... 200px. Ive tried using normal width attributes and css in each of the td, table, and div (around the table) tags, but that does not work-- the table still extends horizontally in order to display the string. Is there anyway I can staticly set the table width to 200px and keep it that way? Frankly, i dont care what happens to the extra long string, short of deleting it altogether, i just need the table to stay a constant width Until I die, I will never quite understand tables - if someome could shed some light on this it would allow me to keep what little hair I have left. I have a Table with some form inputs in it as outlined below, the problem is this, there is what looks like a 15px space on the right side and I don't know why its there. Two questions: Size="18" - 18 what? I read that these are the size of a space, but if it is, what is the size of a space? Second, width="50" - 50 what? I am assuming pixels, but with all the problems I seem to have with tables, I'm not sure. <fieldset style="width: 260px"><LEGEND class="legend"> <table width="260"> <tr> <td width="240"><input type="text" size="18" etc.> <td width="20 align="right">There is a 10 x 10 graphic here</td> </tr> </table> </fieldset> Hope I made sense, any help or guidlines that could ease my life with tables would be appreciated. Thx Hey, I'm trying to set something so simple as the TD width for 1 specific column, but it will NOT listen to me! http://www.unreal-deals.com/ebook/ad...i-showdata.php I've set the td width on the second column Item_Name to be 5000px, just to see if it would work. It does nothing. No matter if I set the table width to 100% or 300%, setting the TD width does not affect that TD... What am I missing here? Thanks 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 I have found what seems to be a rather big problem in the HTML canvas When drawing circles, and I presume all shapes, the size of the circle is different based on whether one is filling it, or sketching it. If we have a circle of radius 10 and line width k, and we decide to fill it, that line width will be evenly dispersed about the perimeter of the circle such that half the line width is inside the circle, and half is outside the circle. If, however, the same circle is sketched, the line width will still be the same, but it will now be dispersed entirely on the outside of the circle, thus making it larger. If I am wrong, and this is how figures are supposed to be drawn, or if I am simply not using the right settings, please let me know =) Hi all, I'd really appreciate some help on this one. I have a program which outputs very long strings of text to a HTML page. At the moment the text stays on one line resulting in an annoying horizontal scrollbar. How do I get the page to automatically format the text so that it all fits within a standard width, and so there's no horizontal scrollbar? Regards, Ruth Hello, We are developing a consumer applicance here with a simple web interface. The web pages are served using "echo" statements in bash scripts, so nothing very advanced. The pages interact with the a server application on the box, to display various text data such as statistics, and to allow the user to edit various configuration data. We would like to extend this as follows. The user will enter numeric data, which will be processed by the server application. The application will generate a rating score 0-100, which we would like to display to user using a simple visual display such as an analog VU-meter, or by some other means. It would be a bonus if the "100" and "0" ends of the display "100" side could be colored red and green. Are there simple HTML-coded widgets available that can do this? The fact that I don't even know what these widgets are called, shows up my limited level of GUI design. Many thanks, Paul Im trying to create a table for ebay use, i created pic for top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right. 1 also created pic for top middle (the middle part should be changeable- it can get longer or shorter same with the middle bottom and left and right middle pics) but the problem is i dont know how to make the right and left middle to repeat itself, also i dont know the correct HTML code to set the right middle picture in its rightful place. Im new in creating HTML, my goal is to have a table border that has a fixed size on all corners except for inbetweens - i want them stretching. i would appreciate some tips.

Im trying to make support system for a basketball fantasy website where it predicts the player's next games fantasy pts. The tables consists of a number of columns; Game, OFF, DEF, REB, AST, STL, BLK, TO, PF and PTS. There is a number of rows that contains the values of these columns. I want to write some code that takes these values and multiple them with a value and add them to next column. So it like formula for example; Game|OFF|DEF|REB|AST|STL|BLK|TO|PF|PTS 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 The Formula would be (OFF *0.5) + (DEF*0.5) etc and place the result in column called FantasyPTS. So the resulting table would be like this; Game|OFF|DEF|REB|AST|STL|BLK|TO|PF|PTS |FantasyPTS 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | ? 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | ? Thank you in advance Hi there, After HOURS of battling with what I thought should be so simple I have given up and registered for help! The very basic form of my problem is I want a table with 3 cells, The first two cells (one black, one blue) I want to be left aligned and simply as wide as the cell contents. I then want the 3rd cell to be right aligned, and fill up the rest of the row before reaching the text. So the 3rd cell spans from the 2nd cell all the way to the right of the table. I have uploaded 2 images. One is the rough design that I'm trying to achieve, the other shows my results. what I want: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/hopez.png/ (the 'music videos' would be in a separate cell as the background will be blue as you can see in my tests below) actual: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/830/problemue.png/ It either ends up as above or with hours of fiddling I did somehow have it over at the right, but only behind the text was black, there was just open space between the blue cell and the right aligned cell. So frustrated, better go to bed, haha. Hi All, I am newbie with HTML, I am having difficulties in nesting the tables. I have 4 <TD> tags in a <Table> but somehow due to some nesting issues when i am inserting a table in my 3rd <TD> my 4th <TD> goes out of the table. Here goes my Code... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <HTML> <BODY> <table border=1 width="100%"> <tr> <td>1st TD</td> <TD>2nd TD</td> <td>3rd TD <table> <tr> <table> <tr> <td>Info</td> <td>S/O</td> </tr> <tr> <td><select><option>Info about Renting</option></select></td> <td><input type="text" style="width:70px"></td> </tr> <tr> <table width="50%"> <td></td> <td>ABC</td> <td>DEF</td> <td>GHI</td> <td>JKL</td> </table> </tr> <table> </tr> </table> </td> <td>4th TD</td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Help!!!... -Gagan Hello everyone. Im new to forums and am looking for some help my my html. I am having problems with the alignment of my tables. They used to align perfectly but are now being stretched the length of the page. It has to do with my TD somewhere but I can't find it. If you check this code you'll see what I mean. Im not sure what I did but it never had this problem before. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks Hey guys, Okay so here is what I am trying to do. I am populating a table with some info from a database. The data should look something like this. Recipe Name - Prep Time - Total Time- Rating ============================ test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 test data here 12 mins 15 mins 4.5 The names of the recipe is what I want to create as links so that when the user clicks on a certain RECIPE NAME another page will open showing only the data that goes with that recipe he/she clicked on. So far I have not gotten my code to work correctly, i dunno if i am missing something or doing it all wrong? I am using a while loop to generate all the recipes form the database. Again, i want the names of the recipes to be the links. Please help me!!!! Thanks for your time and help Here is my code: <? while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) { ?> <tr> <a href="ShowRecipe.php?id=<?=$row['id']?>"></a> <td><?=$row['name']?></td> <td><?=$row['preptime']?> mins</td> <td><?=$row['totaltime']?> mins</td> <td><?=$row['rating']?></td> </tr> <? } ?> Hi all, I love the design of this forum. I have a very annoying HTML problem and really need help. Would REALLY appreciate it. On some of the pages there's too much space between the table cells. I've tried EVERYTHING and couldn't find the source of the problem. Take it as a challenge and please help... Try this: http://www.canaseed.com/Search.aspx?search=csdc I've attached a gif file that describes the problem. Thank you so much for your help... Hi, I'm having a basic problem with a HTML table. It displays exactly how I want on Firefox 3.5.15 but on Internet Explorer 8 is does not. Can anyone point out what I need to do to get this table displaying in IE as it does in Firefox? Below is my HTML table and I suspect IE 8 is ignoring 'rules = rows'; <?php echo '<TABLE bordercolor=#000000 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 border=0 rules=rows frame=box width="90%">'."\n"; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><B><font size=1>Test Name</font></B></td><td><B><font size=1>Date</font></B></td><td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><font size=1>Test Number 1</font></td><td><font size=1>01/01/2010</font></td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><font size=1>Test Number 2</font></td><td><font size=1>02/01/2010</font></td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><font size=1>Test Number 3</font></td><td><font size=1>03/01/2010</font></td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><font size=1>Test Number 4</font></td><td><font size=1>04/01/2010</font></td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '<td><font size=1>Test Number 5</font></td><td><font size=1>05/01/2010</font></td>'; echo '</tr>'; echo '<tr>'; echo '</TABLE>'."\n"."\n"; ?> Thanks! Hi, I'm having an issue with a table that I could use some help with. Code: <table width="10"> <tr> <td width="10">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+/*-+</td> </tr> </table> As you can see, the letters contained in the <td> when printed are much wider than 10px, but because there are no spaces between the text, it stretches past 10px. I'm trying to find a way so that even though there are no spaces dividing the text, the text still stays within 10px width and doesn't stretch the table. I've tried fixed width and max-width, neither worked. Any suggestions? |
