HTML - Newbie - Help With Tables
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to fix a page on my website that uses a bunch of tables. The tables are aligned vertically but not horizontally. Also, the text doesn't wrap around the images and I think I finally figured out that I have too many columns in each table (I think). But if someone can help point me in the right direction with these tables so that they look properly aligned I would appreciate it greatly. The web page is http://www.polymerclayprojects.com/beadtemplate.htm Thanks in advance... Larry Similar TutorialsI would like to know if it is possible to have a table column on top of a column??? In my table, I have a column that contains an image. Next I want to put text on top of the image. I am good up to this point, but when I put the text in this particular column, it is left justified and is not giving me the look I want. So, can I add another column on top the one with the image in order to be able to get some white space between the background image and the text on top???? To see what I am talking about, take a look here. It is the right hand column. You'll see how the text just does not look right the way I have it. Thanks for any suggestions. Vance Hello, just starting here I complete the HTML an CSS tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com/ I also downloaded a trial for coffeecup I am helping a local business with their website, it is very simple, just content and a couple of pictures. For some reason, as much as I google it up I cannot figure out how to add a left column to the site. the examples I find, even free templates from Amaya use tables. I dont want to use tables, I guess I need to use div? But if that is so, how do I position my column? It seems w3schools gave me a good start but I am having problems putting the concepts together. If you can direct me to the right answer, or recommend a book or tutorial that actually builds a simple site with a couple of columns in good design, I would really appreciate it. But I dont want to use tables as I learned it is not best practice Thank you! Hi Normally, when you have more than one table in your code, the tables will be placed one under each other. Example: <table> ... </table> <table> ... </table> When you want the tables to be placed next to each other, you need to set the align attribute. Example: <table align="left"> ... </table> <table align="left"> ... </table> BUT: When you do it like in the 2nd example (tables next to each other), in Firefox, the tables will wrap to a new line if there is no more space. In Internet Explorer, the tables will not wrap. The result is a horizontal scrollbar or "hidden tables". Why this? How can I make the tables wrap also in Internet Explorer as it does in Firefox? Is it possible with a special CSS definition or with a special DIV/SPAN tag? Thanks for your help praiser Hey everyone, I'm new to these boards. Somewhat a newbie at web design, but I know basics. I'm looking to put 2 tables adjacent to each other inside another table. My problem is I can't get the tables to line up the way I want them to. I'll post a picture of how I want it to look, how it looks now and my code. How I want it to look: How it looks now: I want the tables to line up at the top and re-size according to each other so they're always aligned at the top. Code: coming in next 2 posts Hi Len here from Cape Town,South Africa. Done a lot of websites, using Netobjects Fusion, hence no coding.(Damn!) My own website www.2busycamping.co.za has a database which I want to change to PHP/MySQL based but battling with the data entry form. Any help would be appreciated. The drop down box (Province/Country) does not forward the entered data when selected and submitted. The other fields do!

Hy I'm new here and new to everything that's related to webdesign and coding so maybe I have silly questions but that's it!,and also sorry for my english - hope you will understand what I have to say. I work on this ImageCube http://keith-wood.name/imageCube.html but I would like to make it like this one http://www.cancan.ro/ with previous/next buttons and with thumbscroller. I know my question is related also to jquery but I will be pleased with the answer regarding only html too. I succeeded to make both previous/next buttons and the thumbscroller to work somehow but I can only make them functioning properly one at a time - I can't make them to function properly both in the same time. I know to make this things work only like this so if you know a better way to do it just tell me. Whatever values do I put either in html or javascript can't seems to work like it should. For example in this case like in below all thumbs and both directionButtons get the first value from document in this case "0" which is uluru.jpg.So,in another words (in this case from below) whenever I click either on whichever of the thumbs or on whichever of the directionButtons the Cube repeatedly rotate the Uluru image. I tried all kinds of variants -to put different values but in neither cases don't work well. So if you can help me I would much appreciate it,and if you have other ideas please give me the entire code because like I said I'm very new to all in this field. HTML Code: <body> <div id="directionCube" class="cube"> <img src="img/uluru.jpg" > <img src="img/islands.jpg" > <img src="img/gorge.jpg" > </div> <div id="thumbs"> <input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="0" type="hidden" /> <img src="1_thumb.jpg"> <input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="1" type="hidden" /> <img src="2_thumb.jpg"> <input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="2" type="hidden" /> <img src="3_thumb.jpg"> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#directionCube').imagecube({direction: 'up', repeat: true, pause: 3000, shading: true}); $('#thumbs').click(function() { var cube = $('#directionCube'); var next = parseInt($('#next') .val(), 10); cube.imagecube('change', {direction: $('#direction') .val()}). imagecube('rotate', next, function() { $('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title')); }); }); </script> <input id="direction" value="right" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="" type="hidden"> <img id="directionButtonRIGHT" src="control_right.jpg"> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#directionButtonRIGHT').click(function() { var cube = $('#directionCube'); var next = parseInt($('#next').val(), 10); cube.imagecube('change', {direction: 'right' , selection: 'forward'}). imagecube('rotate', next, function() { $('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title')); }); }); </script> <input id="direction" value="right" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="" type="hidden"> <img id="directionButtonLEFT" src="control_left.jpg"> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#directionButtonLEFT').click(function() { var cube = $('#directionCube'); var next = parseInt($('#next').val(), 10); cube.imagecube('change', {direction: 'left', selection: 'backward'}). imagecube('rotate', next, function() { $('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title')); }); }); </script> </body> Ok, so here's what I'd like. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like a url to load in 1 I would like a constant, stay on top, stay at top, follow your scroll, area where 2 is. I would like to be able to place content where 2 is. 3, I would like to be able to edit the length of the content area. 5$ via paypal for first person who helps. Thanks again. Html email does not display image background in Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo and MSN, i am using PHP code.. the images will not appear when sitting it as a back ground in the TD. but i am sure with my file path, it will only display if being coded as <img src=images.jpg> I want to make my own web site for a computer game that I play. It will basically have custom made content for download for other users. I have an idea of how I want the site to look but I have no idea how to take it from Photoshop and actually make it my web site. I looked at the tutorials on here but I must be really computer dumb because I cant for the life of me figure it out. Is there anyone here who could help me maybe if i show them what I have created?? I cant afford for someone to make it for me but maybe someone would be nice enough to help me out?? Thanks Elaina hello all im all new to this HTML so hopefully everyone can understand me im just playing around with HTML at the moment using notepad to learn whats what but i cant find a way of putting images or tex in the middle of the screen by it self it all just stays on the left handside? can anyone explain or give me the code for it please. also if anyone knows of any good starting books or software to help me on my HTML quest cheers Hi All, Wondered if I could get some help. I have wrote a simple HTML script to create a simple Pro-Forma for cusotmers to fill out a few things. I also have a SUBMIT button that what I want it to do when clicked is automatically send the data from the form to an email address. So far I have managed to get the SUBMIT button to create an email with the email address in the to and the data in the subject. However I want it to auto send without the cusotmer seeing and also when the data is copied into the email it is just all linked together seperated by & signs. I am new to this and cant seem to get it to automatically send and wondered if anyone could help Thanks in advance Hi All Been a reader of this site a while now and have found the info very helpful.

I need some help with an HTML site I am trying to make, so please do me a favour and hear me out. I should add that I know some simple HTML stuff (ie. I can make simple pages no sweat), but am pretty quick on the uptake. What I am trying to do is make a HTML page to keep track of orders for my small business. The layout is pretty simple- I need to make a form where I can enter orders as they come in (simple info- cutomer name, order size, that kind of thing), and then have the form publish the order into a queue/chart of some sort. Then, I need to be able to have that published order queue somehow accessible/editable so that once an employee has finished an order, they can confirm that the order is indeed finished, as well as include notes about when it was finished, where the order is in waiting in the warehouse, etc. Finally, a page essentially the same as above, but this time to confirm shipping with notes about shipping company/time, etc. Hopefully this model came out clear, and someone can point me in the right direction of how to go about getting this started. It by no means has to be pretty- just functional. Can someone give me a brief tutorial about how to make the forms and have them publish into some kind of master queue? Hi there, Im currently making a website and im afraid im pretty new to this. I am making a fairly simple site >> http://www.monk3d.com/healthcarebed3.html If you download the page, you will see I have placed the logo, links, and footers, however I dont have a space for the actual content! Im probably being stupid, but im not sure how to add a new section. I attached a diagram where the blue box shows where I need the content. I hope this is explained properly. kind regards, Rob Hello, I recently started making websites and I need a little help. I'm using adobe dream weaver cs3 and am having trouble with a few things. First, I am wanting to use a conveyor belt with images sort of thing, so I found one on the internet and am using that..but now I want to put it in front of a picture but it's not letting me..here's a picture of my screen.. http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6222/screenvf4.jpg So that box of pictures I want to be right after the "Bayside Baptist" Any help would be appreciated..I've never posted on forums before so I don't know if you would need to see the XHTML code but if you do just ask Thanks!
