HTML - Ie Strangeness: 100% Width Image In Table Cell Takes 100% Of Body, Not Cell As Size
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. Similar TutorialsHello all! 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! Hello, I am having trouble converting the following example table into a nice tableless layout: Code: <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><img src="./left_image.gif" border="0" /></td> <td style="background: url(./bg_image.gif) top left repeat-x;" width="100%">Content</td> <td><img src="./right_image.gif" border="0" /></td> </tr> </table> The main problem is that center 100% width cell. A 100% width div with a div either side doesn't work... Any ideas on how I would go about this? Hi all, I am a totally new to html, "yesterday I could not even spell it". I am working on a simple project where I have used a table to store page information (text and pictures), I read it somewhere it is the best way to do it. I figured out how to set the context width in the cell (<td width="20">) but how do set the width of the cell? Remember, I am not building "The Windsor Castle" just a little cuby house in the back so everything should be as simple aspossble, not necessarily the fastets and most versatile. Thanks in advance. Hi, I'm a little new at this, and I'm trying to put a pretty simple website together. I have a table that is the basis for the whole website design. It's pretty fixed, so I want all the widths of the table to be constant. A couple rows have fixed heights for aesthetic purposes. A couple rows I want to expand to whatever height is necessary to accomodate the content inside. the fourth row of the table has three cells side by side that I use as the header design. 1) picture 2) space 3) title I want all these to have fixed widths and heights. underneath is a cell that spans the length of all three of those. This is where I want my content. 4) content The length of this stays fixed but the height changes as more content is addes. The trouble is, the table cells display correctly for me as long as there is limited amount of text inside the 4) content cell. Whenever I enter past a few sentences, the 1) picture cell starts taking up more of the width and shrinking the 3) title cell. And this really messes up the nice spacing I had. Any thoughts on why this would happen??? I'm just stuck. I've tried a million things, but I'm sure its something simple I can't see right now. Hopefully a pair of fresh (and knowledgeable) eyes can help!

I actually feel a bit ridiculous because i can't solve a problem that will probably be as easy as hell... anyway, i have a table with some collspans and rowspans in it, but i can't seem to be able to set the width for the site in IE... Here's a simple representation of the table, since it's generated dynamically with PHP, so the number of rows and columns is not always the same...but the structure is: HTML Code: <table> <tr> <th rowspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">left column header</th> <th colspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">column 1 title</th> <th colspan=2 style="min-width=120px;">column 2 title</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="min-width=60px;">value1</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value2</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value1</td> <td style="min-width=60px;">value2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row1 name</td> <td>row1 col1 value1</td> <td>row1 col1 value2</td> <td>row1 col2 value1</td> <td>row1 col2 value2</td> </tr> </table> So it should look a bit like this: Code: ------------------------------- | 120px | 120px | 120px | | |---------|---------| | |60px|60px|60px|60px| |---------|----|----|----|----| |rowname1 |val1|val2|val1|val2| |---------|----|----|----|----| |rowname2 |val1|val2|val1|val2| ------------------------------- there can be more rows with rowname, and more columns with the colspans... now in mozilla firefox this works just fine, but not in IE...even worse, if one of the values in the columns that are supposed to be 60px wide is negative, IE inserts a break between the '-' symbol and the numbers... i'm using HTML 4.01 Strict by the way... 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;}

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, 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 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. 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> 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. 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> 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 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 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 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. 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"?>

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 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 Hi guys, Okay I know my source code is a bit of a mess - but I wondered if anybody is able to tell me why the cell which has the text: Quote: STAYUPDATED: News will appear here soon. in it, varies in size from page to page. e.g. http://www.bigbrotherwebsite.net/ind...page=nomsevics to http://www.bigbrotherwebsite.net/ind...tingunexpected and http://www.bigbrotherwebsite.net/ind...knowledgements - ideally I'd like the cell to remain the same size as the one on the last page... (Acknowledgements) Any ideas gang? It's puzzled me! - Joe 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. Does anyone have an idea how I can make the text in the TD-tags fit 100% in its cell. Help would be highly appreciated.

This happens in IE9. I have it set to 200px, but for some reason it wants to be wider than that (I can tell because the text seems to be centering within the first 200px of its width, but it's not centered within the whole cell). I can fix this by specifying a % width (as in style="width: 25%;"), but I'd prefer to stay away from percentages. I can also fix the problem by specifying the width of the next cell (to its right, in bold above) to some specific value, but then this fixes the size of the whole table, and I would like to keep it variable. Does anyone know why the width likes to increase to more than I specified, and if so, how do I fix this problem? |
