HTML - Cell Expansion Problem
Hi,
I am having some problems with the tables and cells on the following page: http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?i...problemjs7.png What I am trying to do is insert text in the cell indicated by the red arrow. At the moment it has no width (you can see the two cell walls where it should be). However when I try to drag the right wall out, or when I click in it and start typing, it does expand to the right (which i want it to do), however it pushes all the cells to the left it left which is messing up the layout. What I would like to happen is for the cell to expand out to the right, leaving everything else in their proper place. If anyone can offer any help, I would appreciate it very much! Thanks. Similar TutorialsI was wondering how to make it so a div would not shrink below the width of its content, so say if there was an image about 400px wide, when the browser window was resized the div wouldn't keep shrinking beyond the width of that image. (Example of what I DON'T want he http://emcs.sd62.bc.ca scroll down on the main page and you'll see what I mean) Hi there, I'm curious if Dada's previous post does not apply to this somewhat. But basically my problem is I have a div for a nav menu and a div for a content area, basically I want the nav menu to grow as the content of the content div grows. Here is my page and you can see my problem. http://alongcamemary.biz/newSite/index.html Basically what I did in the flow was create one div which I floated right And then the nav div which will be on the left and I set its margin the width of the item I floated right. But like I said I need each of their contents to stay the same heights automatically. 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 Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Hi there. I am working on this site. There is a problem with a table column spacing though... if this is what it looks like in Firefox (the way its supposed to be...) and this is what happened to it in IE. (dear lord...) the left menu and the content on the right are two adjacent cells of a table. how do i fix this ? it seems ie is giving equal width to both the cells. which explains the gap. i've tried using: Code: <td width=180> and also: Code: <colgroup span="2"> <col width="180"></col> <col width="500"></col> </colgroup> but none of them work. please help me out.. the page is available at > http://ramniquesingh.googlepages.com/index.html the .css file is available at > http://ramniquesingh.googlepages.com/default_style.css thanks. 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. Hello, I've recently noticed that IE renders this table a bit differently than most browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc). The real page is much more complicated and uses proper styling, but I simplified it into the code below. The inline CSS sets the height of each individual cell and then the last cell is not provided with a height. I would love for the last cell to take the rest of the available height. I've tried many things to try and get this to work (like setting the height to 100%). The page renders how I expect it to in every browser I've tested except for the IE series. It seems as though Internet Explorer decides to ignore my row heights and calculate its own for some reason. Also, using a fixed height for the last cell is not possible due to how dynamic the web page is. Does anyone have any tips? HTML Code: <table style="table-layout:fixed;" border=1 width=100%> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> <td style="height:600px" colspan=3 rowspan=5>This should span all of the rows and the remaining columns</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height:17px;width:150px;"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>This cell should take the rest of the available column height area</td> </tr> </table> Thank you. Hello all, I have the following table, however, my height seem to be changing: Code: <table width="100%">
<tr>
<td height="50" width="50%">
CELL1</td>
<td rowspan="3" valign="top" width="50%">
WRITING GOES HERE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="50" width="50%">
CELL2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="100%" width="50%">
CELL3</td>
</tr>
</table>
I want cell1 and cell2 to always remain at 50px. cell3, may vary in size depending on how much information is entered into the 'WRITING GOES HERE' section. At present when there is a lot of wiriting in the 'WRITING GOES HERE', cell1 and cell2's height will be much larger that 50px. Any ideas how i can get cell1 and cell2 to remain constan and cell3's height to vary? Much Appreciated. Hello, I have a table more o less defined as follows: Code: <table border = 2>
<tr><th colspan=2 align=center>GENERAL TABLE NAME</th></tr>
<tr><th colspan=2 align = center>ANOTHER GENERAL NAME</th></tr>
<tr><th>Col1</th><th>Col2</th></tr>
<tr><td>Att1</td><td>Att2</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>
<textarea cols=??? rows=???>
<%=XMLString%=>
</textarea></td>
</tr>
</table>
I have the following problem: The table is shown but it needs to be printed... so I cannot use a textarea with scrolling option.... I need the textarea to be completely seen. What I need to write is a XML string... Is there a way of knowing the number of lines contained by this string (so I could put it in the rows parameter)? Another thing, I would like the textarea to completely fit within the 2 columns.... how can I do it? May be is there another way of doing it, without using textarea? Thanks for your help Hi all, Having a bit of trouble with a table layout in IE. The following link renders correctly (or at least as I would like) in Firefox yet in IE the header and navigation bars are too think. I've tried adding a height attribute to all td's concerned, but to no avail. here's the link: http://www.events.ex.ac.uk/ivfdf2009...s/template.php any help you can offer muchly appreciated! 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.

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.

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 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 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!! When you use a <p> tag, there is space between paragraphs. Not sure if there is are automatic margins set for the top and bottom, but that's the way it seems. I'm using <p> tags inside a <table> and I'd like the first paragraph to be tight to the top of the cell but the only way I know how to do it is to remove the <p> tags from the first paragraph. I don't really want to do this as I'd like to have the <p> tags around each paragraph. Here is what I have, which btw does exactly what I want it to but as you can see the first set of <p> tags have been removed. What's a better way to get this effect? Code: <table cellspacing="10"> <tr> <td class="menu" style="background-color:#8C9429"><a href="lab4-2bsolution.html">Prices</a> <p><a href="http://www.antiquity.ac.uk/">Links</a></p></td> <td class="content">Voytokovich Antiquities is the leadinng wholesaler for Asian, Middle Eastern, and European antiquities.

It calls for a one row, two column borderless table. The first column has two links (one on top of the other), and the second column has three paragraphs of text. Thanks for any suggestions! Greetings! Let me start this out by getting this out of the way - I know I should not be using tables for layout anymore But with this project I have good reasons as to not using them. Learning curve being one and time being another But I am headed that way! So here is the issue I have a simple layout and nested within is this little table for content and navigation Worked fine in FF, but IE7 is giving me some unexpected results with no explanation I can find. Here is the example page http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/test/blank.html Top left (blue) is the navigation image and cell - set height should be static and remain at the top Bottom Left (red) is a nav *footer*, I guess, but it remains at the bottom and the cell above it needs to be able to stretch indefinitely - with the images sitting on the bottom. Right (Orange) is the content area - dynamically stretching with the *red* following it. In FF this works great! Not so much in IE7 - in fact it skews the height of even the *blue* which is set!? Thanks so much in advance for your help on this, I am at my wits end! Nate~ 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, 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. i set up a large gap for cellpadding with my site and im wondering if i can undo that for 1 object, i want 1 object to be style="float:right; and in the top right area of the screen is there anyway i can undo the cellpadding effect for that object ? 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.

I wanted to ask if there is a way to specify certain width sizes for table cells in a table. The thing is that I have a table in one webpage that, if I leave the width of the TD cells unspecified, I usually end up with some cells being very wide because the text that is written inside them is very big and does not roll up automatically and other cells shrink and become very small in order for the total table not to lose its specified length. Can I set a specific width for the cell that gets filled with many words so that the contents of this cell will wrap and not extend so much? Thank you! |
