HTML - [html Noobie] Dynamically Growing Tables?
I'm trying to make a little secret santa auto-emailer thing for my family. I've run into a bit of a problem with some html.
I'm trying to superimpose each persons christmas list over the image of a scroll, so it's like it's written on the scroll. (Corny, I know, but it's christmas!) The problem is when people have wishlists that are too long. Attached are two images to illustrated: This is how it should look: Good. but this is what happens when their list is too long: Bad. I'm using tables to do it right now, but I'm open to whatever (except maybe CSS. If it's easy I could, but otherwise I'm a noob). My current approach was to divide the image into 9 sections, put each section into a cell in the table, and superimpose the text over the top of the center cell. (I know I could've divided it into fewer images, 3 probably, I will if I have to reupload the images). Here's the code I'm using right now: Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<TR><TH><img src="http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/9459/101zx7.png"> <!--top left image-->
<TH><img src="http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9360/102xj5.png"><!--top center image-->
<TH><img src="http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/3449/103xh4.png"><!--top right image-->

I don't need anyone to code it exactly for me, just point me in the right direction. I'm fine with modifying the images so there's a section that can be repeated without looking bad. I'm just not sure how to dynamically "grow" the scroll as the list gets longer. Can anyone help me? Similar Tutorials[b]So I'm modifying my blogger template, but i can't remove this thing: Could anyone tell me what to delete in my html code to make it disappear??? Website: http://13stairstomikarain.blogspot.c...o-so-sick.html Is there any way you can get a table row to grow in height as you type into it? I tried a textarea, which I know has scroll bars, but the users are asking for an automatically growing row within which the text wraps in a cell, rather than a fixed row height and scroll bars. In the beginning, managing a relatively small website was easy if I wanted to change the menu and main template. I could just go in and change the snippets of code on each html document. Now that my website a little larger (Not huge, but somewhere around 60/70 pages), it is starting to get far harder to change the menu and general template because I have to change each individual page. For example: I want to add another link on the left side menu. To do this, I must go through every single html document and edit the code. So my question is, is there an easier way to do this? Can I somehow set up a master template without having to resort to frames? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! I am extremely new to Web design. I have found that it is very tricky to design sites that will look good regardless of which browser is being used and regardless of what browser settings have been tweaked. Following is my first attempt at a personal template. http://eversnug.com/holmeschiropract...es/frames.html There is a border segment just dangling to the bottom of the lower left corner that I don't know how to get rid of. Any help would be much appreciated. Hi! I am currently studying a Comp Sci degree in college. I want to create a few webpages and cut my teeth. I know basic html but would like to do something more advanced. I want to add a widget or script of sorts to a webpage to allow news updates, adding pictures and text basically. I am not really sure what I am looking for and would just like to know what terms or terminology to search for. Would this come under the heading of Javascript, php, perl, widgets? Any help is appreciated. I am trying to create a HTML table with 1 row and 2 columns. Each column contains an already made table. I want to be able to scroll both columns down together but only scroll the right one across. I have attempted to do this with the following code: <div style=' height:500px; width:screen.width; overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden'><table> <tr> <td>".$left_column_table."</td> <td > <div style=' width:screen.width-200px; height: 500px; overflow-x:scroll; overflow-y:hidden'>". $right_column_table."</div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> The problem with this code is that the horizontal scroll bar isn't visible if the vertical scroll bar is scrolled up. How do I make the horizontal scroll bar stay on top so that it is always visible? Hi im new here, and im going to start off with a table related question what I am trying to do is have table with a image in the back ground, this I can do fine, the other thing I want to have with in that first table is another table (5 x 16) For some reason when i try this it will work as two table one after the other when table one has a image but works fine when there is no image, does any one have any ideas as to why this is happening. or type the code our for me to see where im going wrong Thanks for looking, 09ricardo23 hey guys, Just wanted to know if this is at all possible. I have php pages that create tables through html that show data from my database. I want to know if i added like a print button on the page then get whatever is in the table and sent it to a pdf file to print out for a user. are there any example anyone could post or if this is in anyway remotely possible HTML Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600">

this is what it's producing: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...104at123t.png/ I'm trying to get the "book now and save" .gif to go up beside the EDGE logo. I'm a newbie at tables and am frustrated at this. When I "inspect element" the logo's <td> is saying the width is 445px when the width in the html is 425px. I create html pages for my small business, and I am experiencing great frustrations. I am creating a calendar, and I have tried restricting the cell widths to specific px and % sizes and have tried the same in using style attributes, but nothing I try will prevent the cell from expanding with the text and distorting the calendar format. Is there a way to absolutely restrict the width of a column/cell in a table? A table with 3 colunms in each 2 rows and only one column in the 3rd row, hw to write html scrip for this? Hi html world, My name is Ken G (globalsolutions). I hope I am posting in the right place. I have an issue with one of my pages I created. Since I cannot put a link to the page, may I post the html code? The page looks almost alright. The page was screwed up so I took out the <td> and the <tr> tags, kinda straightened out allot of the mistakes. Now The header will not show up on the page. The page is an one time offer with 45 + products, so the page is quite long and it has 3 images that it uses for the frame border. I had to add 1 in more than once to extend the page. I have in put a background image graphic and the table is white, at the bottom I have sometimes more sometimes less black area on each side of the frame that I cannot get to go away. I tried for some time to fix this, and to no avail. I would like to learn how to fix this problem, so I can move on to new ones, lol I have allot more pages to build.Again I Hope I posted in the right area. Thanks in advance Hello folks. I have this problem. I use a PHP script to echo many tables on one page. (I am posting this in the HTML forum as it requires HTML, not PHP knowledge! ). I use a class called stdDiv to get a border for the table. When I try and use <br />es and <spacer type="horizontal" size="10px" /> I do not get the effect I want. I wish for 10px between each table as described in the diagram below: However I do not get this and my table overlaps and is somehow displayed as if it is in the second row. What I get: Here is my code just for clarity: PHP Code: echo "<table class=\"stdDiv\" style=\"width:100%;\" > <colgroup><col width=\"33%\" /><col width=\"33%\" /><col width=\"33%\" /></colgroup> <tr><td colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\" class=\"title\" border=0>".$record['title']."</td></tr> <tr><td colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\" class=\"description\">".$record['description']."</td></tr> <tr><td colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\" ><img src=".$record['image']." style=\"width:128px; height:64px;\" /></td></tr> <tr><td class=\"text\" align=\"center\" style=\"border: 2px solid #999999\">Version: v".$record['version']."</td> <td class=\"text\" align=\"center\" style=\"border: 2px solid #999999\">Rating: ".$record['rating']."</td> <td class=\"text\" align=\"right\" style=\"border: 2px solid #999999\">by <b>".$record['creator']."</td></tr> </table>"; This will give out a table and it is executed with every looping. I want to know how or what code to insert to create a gap of 10px between it and the next time I want to output a table Regards and thanks in advance, mintsmike I have tables containing text in them but the background does not appear its just a white error background the text appears however.

Ok guys, here is my problem. I want to start off first by saying I know tableless layouts are the way to go. With that said I inherited this site and only have to add some functionality. The problem is if you look at http://innonmainmanasquan.com/test/rates-302a.php in IE there is separations in the table, I have edited till I am blue in the face and have no Idea why it is doing this. FF displays it just fine. I have been trying to figure this out for the past 8 hours and still no dice. The code is below if someone could at least point me in the right direction that would be awsome. HTML Code: <html>

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!! Thanks All! Hello guys, I want to create a page with nested html tables. I have attached an image of exactly what I want. Can you please help me with that? can the anchor tag be used in HTML tables, such that if an <a> tag is used in one cell of the table, then its target is another cell of the same table. very much like frames, but can it be done using tables. if so, how? Hi all ! I have a quick question regarding a scoreboard app I am writing that displays 3 numbers on a large VGA screen. The question deals with best practice to build this page. I am using Visual Studio and but not any specific ASP.NET controls. The display consist of one table with 3 cells. one cell onto, 2 cells below the top one. Since I do not know the exact resolution of the VGA screen where my web page will display I have ventured to play with the zoom. However, using the zoom seems to offset the page downwards, meaning it does not zoom centered (or from the middle if you like). The more zoom I apply from the html the larger the page becomes, but it also moves down on the VGA screen. I am running the page in browser kiosk mode. It also seems to be very tricky to make the page position itself on the very top of the browser window. Using tables a problem, and if so, should I go with CSS ?? Thanks for input and thoughts on this.. Anders Hi, not very good at HTML. Need help. Currently have laid out my site design all within a table. Inside that table there are two tables on the top side by side out of which one is aligned to the right. Below these two tables I have other tables all aligned to the left. PROBLEM The top table aligned to the right, it is 160 width pixels by 900 pixels length. I want to keep the other tables below it exactly where they are but as this table grows in length, the other tables keeps getting pushed down. Hope I am clear. Pls help. Am willing to post my html layout if need to. Tnks. |
