HTML - Scaling An Image To Fit A Dynamic Table Cell
I've searched around quite a bit, read various articles and so-on and only really come to the conclusion that this is a lot harder than it should be!
What I have is a simple page for a PHP script, it has a little form for entering keywords, and displays an image above this form. Now, what I want to do is place these in a table, and have that table resize to fit the viewable area of the user's browser-window. So, what I have is a table with three-rows: The title of the image The image itself The form for entering image keywords Now, what I would like to do is have the image scale to fill the middle cell, which by default eats up all available space leftover by the form and title cells. However, this isn't happening, I enter a height of 100% for the image but it seems to be using some other container to get its height. I'm generally well-versed in HTML, but this one has me stumped! Any help is appreciated, here is the basic HTML I'm using for what I had thought would be a simple page Code: <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<meta name="author" content="Haravikk.com" />
<title>Add keywords</title>
<style type="text/css">
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
tr, td, textarea { width: 100%; }
table {

height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
table, td {
border-width: 0;
border-spacing: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#image { height: 100%; }
#tdTitle { height: 5%; }
#tdImg { height: 75%; }
#tdForm { height: 20%; }
#formText { width: 100%; height: 75%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td id="tdTitle"><b>placeholder.png</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="tdImg">
<img id="image" src="http://haravikk.com/placeholder.png" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="tdForm">
<form action="keywords.php" method="post">
<textarea name="keywords" id="fmrText"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Now, I don't know if I could eliminate the table in favour of divs and do this, any suggestions to make the above html work, or to re-write it are welcome! The image provided is just to illustrate the problem Similar TutorialsHi 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. I have an image I want to insert into a simple table Cell. My code is as follows: <table> <tr><td align ="left"> img src = "/modules/Quotes/cqilogo.gif"></td></tr> </table> When I access the page I get: img src = "/modules/Quotes/cqilogo.gif"> I know the image is in the right place and it will work if I set it inside a paragraph. What have I got wrong?? Thanks alot Hello everyone, I am trying to partially hide an image in a table cell. In other words, I don't want the part that is supposed to be hidden to show on the adjacent cells. How do I do that Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi everyone. I need some help with one thing. However as it is for an ebay page, I cannot use the head tag. I have seen it on ebay before so I know it can be done just not sure how. Basically I need a table with a row of thumbnail images at the bottom and in the top of the table, there will be an enlarged image. When an thumbnail is either clicked on, or the mouse is placed over he image, a bigger image will be displayed in the top cell. I cannot use anything in the head tag though as its ebay, like css or javascript Thanks for any help received Hi I want to addd a image for background so i can postion it and not have it repeat : for for a table cell if u see my link below its the purple table cell that has the Bomboniere Adelaide as the heading i only want the background image in that cell - thanks in advance http://weddingsmadeeasy.com.au/adelaide/Bomboniere.html I am trying to create a table with one cell that contains an image. The image must fill the table vertically from top to bottom. The same code works fine in Firefox, but in IE, it always leaves a gap on the bottom right after the image. Any ideas? Here's the code: <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100" vspace="0" > <tr valign="bottom" height="100" > <td height="100" bordercolordark="000000" > <img src="images/test.jpg" width="600" height="100" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="1"> </td> </tr> </table> Thanks a bunch. Hello all, First time posting to the forums here. I'm creating a table and each row represents a "tab" of the UI. Each cell has a background image that looksl ike this. however, when I render my table and have text in the cell, the right edge of the tab is chopped off like this.. Any recommendations on some CSS or table attributes that I can aplly to make both rounded ends of the background image appear? I've tried turning off table borders, cell spacing and cell padding. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. So I decided to see if I could make my site XHTML 1.0 Strict-compliant. Here's the main page on my test server I'd be thrilled with it if I could do 3 things: - Set the background color of the left column to match the color behind the fonts. Is there a CSS class I can create and set the cells to that class? - Remove the border around clickable images. - Get the spacing between the menu options on the left to look the way it does on the other pages in the site. If you click any of the pages on my actual site you can see the look I'm going for. Thanks as always for the help! Joshua I have a question about this web page: http://moparch.com/_moparch/architec...piastudio.html Right now, when you make the browser window smaller in the horizontal direction the image scales to fit the window. However, when you make the browser smaller in the vertical direction the image does not scale. How do I get the image to scale when I make the browser smaller in the vertical direction? Thanks in advance. I know there are a lot of table scaling issues out there, but I can't find one with my specific problem. I've set up this page made of a simple table with 9 cells. 3 Rows and 3 columns. All the cells have jpegs in them except the center one. That has a flash swf. My end intention is to have this without any scrollbars. I already know how to take those off, but I've left those on until I figure out this problem so that you can scroll around the page to see what I'm talking about. http://www.cachemeadow.com/beta_website/index2.html MY ISSUE: I'm wanting the viewer's screen to automatically center on the flash movie (the center cell). I would like all other cells in the table to 'bleed' off screen, thereby accommodating viewers with higher/lower screen resolutions. This also includes the first cell (top left) to bleed off the top-left so that the screen can be centered on the center cell. I would also prefer to make the page so that if anybody views or scales the entire window that it would always center in on the center cell (flash swf). I don't know very much code. I'm more of a graphics guy. Please help. Here's my existing code: Thank you. 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 quick intro~ im an artist making a unique gallery. i did have someone else helping out n tried doing things in wordpress but that was getting to be too much trouble (especially after a promotion in their dayjob left me effectively alone with a site beyond my understanding). so i'm striking out to make it look as i want in plain ol' html first, and will tackle the database and backend stuff later. http://www.gaudiepod.org.uk/light/al.../test****.html ^ this example uses a few different techniques from my explorations of the possibilities. http://www.gaudiepod.org.uk/light/al...t****beta.html ^ this example is closer to what i am looking for (ignoring that it's all the same image for the moment). the images aren't merely cell-backgrounds, and so can be turned into clickable links without messy text (which was there just to give something that i could turn to links to lead to the fullscreen images), however all is not yet quite right.... ...when the window is large enough, the images in the grid show correctly, filling the screen. (hurrah!) but squish the window too small, and the cells refuse to shrink further than 100% the image's original size, and worse, the "fill table to 100% of window" breaks, and a scrollbar appears. i was wondering perhaps if i discovered the code to disable the scrollbar, that would force the table to remain constrained to the window's edge again. (would it?) but i'm guessing this cant be the whole solution, given the behavior of the table as is. what i'm going for, is a grid of 9 clickable images , that always scale to fit the window (or frame). (tho of course, the skills here will be scalable/transferable to tables any number of cells, not limited to just a 3x3 table of 9 cells) how can i make sure the table remains inside the window (no scrollbars!), and the images can scale down to smaller than original size? if i've messed up some other way (like left some link pointing to my local files or something), do please let me know. Hi, Is there anyway to script in such a way that if i never enter a specify to a cell, and give it 100% instead, my cell below will go all the way to the bottom by putting my whole table as 100% too? |--------------------------| | | | 100% | | | |--------------------------| | 50px | | | |--------------------------| something like that. well, it actually work in firefox and not IE, and i cant solve the problem. Thanks in advance. Hi all Im having this weird issue.. On my site, under pics http://www.2muchspiff.com/weedimg/ some of the image are large, and when you zoom in on them, and zoom out, it makes the image all weird. How can i fix this? thanks Hi, I'm doing some tweaks to my tumblr layout, and I'm really, really bad at this. What I need help with is the image scaling. The layout has standard 550 width for images posted. However, this makes all images this width automatically. For photos that are bigger than 550 px it's fine, they can be made smaller, but I wish to remove the feature that makes smaller photos being scaled up. F.ex. if I post an image with 200 or 300 px width, I don't want it to be scaled up to 550 px, I want it to stay in it's original, smaller size. How can I do this? Here's my code for images: {blockhoto} <div id="entry"> {block:IndexPage}<a href="{Permalink}">{/block:IndexPage} {blockermalinkPage}{LinkOpenTag}{/blockermalinkPage} <img src="{block:IndexPage}{PhotoURL-HighRes}{/block:IndexPage}{blockermalinkPage}{PhotoURL-HighRes}{/blockermalinkPage}" alt="{PhotoAlt}" max-width="550"/><div style="margin-top:-4px; margin-bottom:-4px;"></div> {block:IndexPage}</a>{/block:IndexPage} {blockermalinkPage}{LinkCloseTag} {/blockermalinkPage} {block:Ifshowcaptions}{Caption}{/block:Ifshowcaptions}</div> Thanks in advance. /V hey all, sorry if you get alot of annoying questions on myspace so ill try to make this easy I have created an image with the scale of 1024x768 to put on my page. however, i have a monitor that runs on a 1440x900 resolution. of course i can change the image to fit my screen but then, it wouldnt fit the average users screen very well. Currently i have the image pushed to the left, but i can get it centered horizontally with the code Code: background-position: 200px 0px; but vertically im having a bit of trouble. heres an image of what im seeing. http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/1851/img1wz6.jpg the words on the right are suppose to read "Echoes From Malta" however the "ta" in "malta" is cut off the bottom of the page. thats what the problem is from my end of the picture. from my friends view, who is on a smaller screen (i dont know the size) sees the image as being to big for the screen compared to me seeing it so small. so in short, how can i get the image to fit the screen correctly for me, and get it to scale appropriately for viewers varying resolutions. thx for your help 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! 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. Hi Can someone please tell me how I can make a table cell (which contains text which is linked) linkable? http://www.revolution.worldclanleagu...?site=calendar Here you can see a calendar with months at the top.
