HTML - Max Width Of Column
I don't know if this is supposed to be posted here or in the css forum - so correct me if I'm doing it wrong.
I'm making a table with a variable number of colums. The first column should be allowed to have a width of 30 % if it is needed by the text, but less if it is not needed. (This can style="max-width:30%" do for me). The rest of the columns can use the space that the first columns doesn't use, but shouldn't be able to force the first column to be smaller. If I use max-width the first column might be smaller than 30% because of the rest of the columns forces it to be so, and if I use width=30% the width will be 30% even if the text in the first column doesn't need 30%. Can anyone help me? Similar TutorialsThe following piece of code delivers a table with fixed width 666px and appr. 200px 466px wide columns, when opened within IE. Long text fits into the columns, long strings break at the border. When opening up within MS Word, the column width seem to ignore the styles. Does anybody know alternative commands delivering the same result in MS Word? Thanks, Andreas <table style="width: 666px; table-layout:fixed; word-wrap: break-word;" cellspacing="0"> <col width="30%"> <col width="70%"> <tr> <td>Floating Rate Payer Calculation Amount:</td> <td>|TRADE_CURRENCY| |CD_NOTIONAL|</td> </tr> </table> Hi, I have the following problem i'm trying to solve with HTML: I have a simple table with 3 columns. I want the table to have a 100% width of the screen. Furthermore the center column must ALWAYS have a width of 1000. The left and right column should just be there too fill the gaps up if you have a wider screen than 1000. Setting these left/right columns to width "100%" doesn't work because than it would just make the left column fill up the space and the right column will have a width of 0. How can I solve this? Some example could would be highly appreciated Thanks, betonboor This could be an HTML or CSS problem, but I can't figure out what's causing this and it's driving me nuts! The left column on my website will not stay a fixed width of 175px in IE 8. That seems to be the only browser having a problem. Here's the link: http://www.jrsart.net/testarea/paull...cientists.html I've linked the page that has it the worst, but if you visit the other pages and keep an eye on the left column's border, you'll see it keeps moving. Please help! I'm rapidly running out of time to fix this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Hi! I've been trying to figure out why columns in my HTML-table get weird widths. ie. this code: HTML Code: <table width="950" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="5"> column1 </td> <td colspan="5"> column2 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5"> <input type="text" value="column3" maxlength="20" style="width:165px;" /> </td> <td colspan="5"> column4 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td>6</td> <td>7</td> <td>8</td> <td>9</td> <td>10</td> </tr> </table> gives me the result: Is there any way I can fix this so each of the columns get's equal size? Preferably without actually having to have to set the width on each of the bottom columns. If not, could anyone explain to me why it's acting this way? Thanks. Hey all, http://www.lindesigns.us/rma/rmaonline.php If you go to that site on Firefox, the "Return Code #" expands. But if you use IE, you'll see that it doesn't. I could add a fix in there for the fields if they were static, but if you see my javascript, they are dynamically loading fields. This "class":"wide" is not working: Code: invoiceInput.appendChild(createElement("input", {"type":"text", "name":"invoice[]", "size":"8", "class":"wide;"})); I am using a script I found on a jQuery board (http://jsbin.com/acado/6), and it works for them, but not for me because my syntax is probably wrong. And they also are just using 1 field and not near-unlimited dynamically loading fields like I am. How would I add in a fix to have the browser 'only' use the expansion if the user is using IE6 or IE7? I searched on the boards but couldn't find the solution to this problem. Thanks in advance! im creatinh a box containing a text. The box must be wide enough to fill a text. menu.style.width = tekst.length - this functioin gives the number of letters in text. So if the text is "hello" then the width is 5 pixels. But i need the widith of pixels needed to fit the text in a box. How can i do that? Hi, Is there away to force my website to fit an Iphone screen when viewed on the iphone. At the moment the width doesn't full span the Iphones screen so it looks bad. http://pjm.co.uk.uksite4.yourwebserv...splay&PageID=5 Thanks alot Joe Hi...I'm having trouble with 2 things right now with my website.

present to my users a 3-column table of 'House for Sale' advertisements. This is not a commercial venture but will only be for the use of my Senior Mobile Home Park residents. Each of the three columns should contain x number of rows with each column cell containing a tiny pic (from a house.jpg file) and underneath the pic would be a few general details of the price, address, agent selling, etc. The .pic would be clickable and would then bring up a more enlarged picture of the house and complete details of the house for sale. My first puzzle is how to make this list of rows of advertisements *variable*. I guess I have to 'build' the page in my server according to how many ads are currently active ?? Any first thoughts are welcome. Thanks, -Mel Smith Hi My latest design is 2 columns one for navigation the second for content. My problem is with positioning. I want to be able to add an image at the bottom of the navigation column which will always be at teh bootom no matter how big the content area grows. The idea is my navigation will be at the top and the image or possibly images will be at the bottom. Is there an easy way around this with CSS? i could use tables and have it align to bottom but i don't want to use tables if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated as the design is almost finished and i hope to make a start on coding this afternoon. I will post the example code soon for you guys to see how i've put it together and hopefully will just be able to change one line or somthing for me. CC_DESIGN Hi, I'm trying to create a two column form, but the following approach isn't working the way I would like. (when tabbing through, once finished the left column, it submits the form).
