HTML - Safari Does Not Adapt Table Height To Content Size
Hello everyone,
I am in deep trouble... :-( ... For some reason Safari does not adapt the table height to the content size. All other browsers automatically adapt the table height to the content size, but Safari doesn't, and the result of the website I am developing, when seen on Safari, is a mess... Can someone tell me how to make Safari adapt automatically adapt table height to content size? Thank you very much in advance and anyway... Cheers, John Similar TutorialsHi, I would like to know if I can make the background image (over which I will write the content of the page) to fit the space I'm using. For example, I don`t how to explain it , but I see sites with the navigation bar image or the content image to adapt its size according to the amount of text on them. And then it seems like they are infinite, again, it adapts to the isze of the page. But my background image stays the same size all the time and I can see the end of it. I know I didn`t explain it very well but I don`t know exactly what I need to do this so, if someone could help me, thanks a lot. Helllo all, I'm hoping someone with more HTML skills than I have can see where my problem is with trying to modify a pre-built website. I have an area at the top of my webpage where I'm trying to just add a small iframe that will contain a link to a related website. What happened when I added this in what I thought was the right place, is that it appeared in place of where other content was supposed to be. I then tried to contain the problem by creating a table, and given that each of the two existing pieces of content were in div blocks, I put each div block within a table data element (td). Unfortunately, even with specified column widths, the best of the results I've achieved results in my site search content having the button get pushed onto a new line and thus almost invisible, leaving the text input box in place. It's as if the PHP stuff in that div block is somehow pushing the browser to considerably widen the first cell unless I restrict it's width. The site you can see this on is: http://debtfreenewsblog.com The site is somewhat slow - takes 30 to 45 seconds to load (a separate issue, but if you happen to see why, let me know), but once it does, you can use view source and see the very first table and you'll see the resulting HTML. Dreamweaver's design view doesn't do anything to indicate why there's a problem, and kind of hides reality from me. There is a style sheet, or perhaps even more than one, for the site, and as I'm not familiar with exactly how that works together with everything else, that may well be where the problem is. Any and all help will be appreciated. My objective is to just get the search button to come back to the same line as the text input box. Steve (aka sgmunson) All: Working to update a previously designed website. Original design uses an <img> tag to create a top banner and another <img> tag to create a side banner. In each case there are mapped coordinates on each banner as links for the subsequent pages. Basic page design is as follows: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td>
<img usemap="Map1">
<map name="Map1">
<area>
<area>
<area>
</map>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img name="Map2">
<map>
<area>
<area>
<area>
</map>
</td>
<div>
***PAGE CONTENT***
</div>
<tr>
<table>
The challenge is that the [PAGE CONTENT] varries in length througout the site causing some pages to be much longer or shorter than others. This causes some inconsistencey in the relationship between the side banners height and the page content. In other words in some cases the banner is exceptionally longer than the page content and the reader must scroll past significant "dead-space" before being brought to the lowest mapped links in the side banner; or... ...in some cases the side banner is significantly shorter than the page content causing the banner image to appear "poorly-fit" to the page design. I considered altering the 2nd table instance in the above design so that the banner is carried in a <td> tag that is adjacent to the page content and hopefully to allow the tag carrying the image to size relative to the <td> tag carring the content.... Code: <table>
<tr>
<td>
<img usemap="Map1">
<map name="Map1">
<area>
<area>
<area>
</map>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td size="100%">
<img name="Map2">
<map>
<area>
<area>
<area>
</map>
</td>
<td size="100%" >
<table>
***PAGE CONTENT***
</table>
</td>
<tr>
<table>
The problem I've found with this is that as the content size causes the image to "flex", either readablilty or image quality or both are effected, AND the mappings become inconsistent as the image coordinates constantly change. I've considered 2 solutions and am leaning toward one, but thought I'd post this and see if there are better ideas I'm overlooking. One idea was to add additional table rows inside the [PAGE CONTENT] table presumably creating a "defalut" page size that would never be smaller than a standard for the side banner. Problem: larger page sizes are still a problem as are the changing map coordinates My other idea was to return to the original page design listed first above and again settle on a standard side banner "height"... ...any page that was significantly longer than that height would be split to 2 or more pages with a [NEXT>>] button at the bottom of the page navigating to the additional content. Problem: ...possible complications splitting content... Benefit: ...consistent page design that allows a consistent side banner with navigable links... Question for the group: Does this sound reasonable? Are there better alternatives I am overlooking? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL INPUT!! I had previously posted an issue about a page that would not display in Safari (http://www.htmlforums.com/html-xhtml...tml#post627071) Thanks to Peter V, I was able to fix the major issues. However, now there is one portion of the page that does not display - a table including a logo and a search box at the top. The page displays correctly in IE and Firefox for Windows, and Firefox and Netscape for Mac, but not in Safari (for Mac - haven't tried Safari for Windows). The URL is http://www.buttecounty.net/bclibrary/ Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Derek Just wondering if there are some issues with IE7 handling iframe content. The initial iframe source page was loaded up fine. However, an attempt to reload the same content page by targeting it from an HTML form on the same main page doesn't work. It's structured like below. The same page works fine in IE8 and Safari. Any clues? Main Page -> <iframe name="frame" id="frame_id" src="abcd.html"></iframe> -> <form id="buttonform" name="buttonname" method="post" action="abcd.html" target="frame"> Hi There, our site content is 720 pixels wide. When the user clicks ona button, it opens a new HTML window that is 720 pixels wide. Good. This first page is long, so there are scroll bars (both horz and vertical) But when the user clicks on the next page, which only has a little content, the scroll bars are gone, but the window width size stays the same, and you see a 10-pixel strip of background hanging on to the right side (where the vert scroll bar was on the previous page) So my question is: When you click to go to a new HTML page... can you also tell the window to "fit to content" or something like that? see what I'm saying: start he http://www.studio209.com/stumptown_e...own_store.html click on "Blank Packaging" Then click on "View cart" Thanks!! 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;}

The table on the outside has no content, it is there to make a gray border around everything else.

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! On a page I'm trying to accomplish the following: A border with a static width surrounding positioned elements (divs). Each element can vary in height and holds text, tables, images, etc. Problem: Is there any way to dynamically adjust the border height to the content? I don't want to use scripting. I have tried using a div with auto height, but it does not adjust to inner divs. I have tried using a table cell containing divs, breaks as soon as divs are positioned. Please help!

One problem I can't seem to figure out: When the browser window is sized more narrowly than the content on the page, the table sections get shoved down underneath one another. Most sites I see don't do that -- when the browser window narrows, the site content stays in place. Any insight about what my error is? You can check out the problem at www.adamgwon.com. Thanks much. 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. I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done. Now what I would like to insert in the code is something like this: The 2 columns should be full screen on any resolutions. Something like the page would adapt to the monitor resolution. The percent would be 80% for the first column 20% for the se cond one. What I don't know - is how to do that. Would a table resolve this problem? What would be the code for this? Suggestion are well appreciated. I will be brief in hoping that the issue does not require a thesis to properly fix. I'm dealing with tables within tables..within tables. In one instance, I have a 2x1 (row by column) table inside another table. So, we'll call the inside table "B" and the outside table "A". Table B is centered inside a column in Table A. I'm trying to maximize the space, but nearly nothing works. Setting Table B height=100% does nothing. The only thing that works is setting the height=N px, where N is a number. This is no good, as I want to the site to work on all resolutions. I want it to be proportional. How can I fix this? Here's what I'm dealing with, visually: Any help would be welcome. Thanks. Hi Everyone- I'm hoping someone out there might be able to solve a problem I've been having with my site for a number of years. The site was designed for IE but with the growing popularity of Firefox and Safari (to name a few), I want to insure that it works properly with those browsers. For the most part, it does -- except when displaying a background image in a table. For example - look at this page: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/...anentwaves.php When viewed in I.E., the grey background image with the woman displays properly, as does the full image of the album cover within. However when viewed in Firefox or Safari, the background image repeats near the bottom for about 20 pixels. The problem also exists on a page like this one: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/lyrics.php Where the brown background image which includes the words "Rush Lyrics" displays properly in I.E. but seems to repeat for 20 pixels in FF. This one's been driving me crazy for years and, due to some recent changes I've been making, it's come back to haunt me. If anyone has any suggestions as to why this is happening and what I can do to remedy it, I would greatly appreciate it... Thanks so much. Im using Dreamweaver and im using a table to layout my page. I have managed to get the table width to resize with the browser window but cant get the height to do it. I have a black bar along the bottom which I want to lock to the bottom of the browser window and resize with it but I just cant do it. I have attached the file below if someone can have a look for me it would be great! Cheers Peeps I have a list within a table and much of the content has links to two different javascript codes. One is a popup javascript to so that I can control the window size and the other is a toggle.display javascript to show/hide specific details about my list. The scripts run fine, but for some odd reason the content in my table gets cut off randomly towards the end of the list. I went through to make sure that I didn't have any div tags nested.. etc.. and i'm now at a complete loss as to why my content within the table gets randomly cut off. Any help would me much appreciated. The link for the site is he http://netimpact.org/displaycommon.c...rticlenbr=2440. You'll notice at the very bottom of the table it randomly stops.. Hi There, Pulling my hair out over this. For the life of me, cant make it work: http://www.cowboytuffwebsitedesign.c...cialdeals.html I've used positive padding negative margin to stretch both div's heights to match each other. But the content div, when needed to be higher than the menu div, will overflow its content past the container divs bg. As well the footer will only clear past the menu div, not the content div. HELP! PLEASE! I can copy and paste HTML right into the thread if needed. Thanks Hello, I am new to HTML and have been working on making some changes to a page on our existing web site. I wanted to separate links into separate tables so that the links are grouped by type. I got as far as creating the separate tables and putting in the data as I would like it to appear in the tables but I seem to run across a problem getting them to all line up so that they are the same width and are located underneath each other (lined up vertically). My html coding is attached as a txt file should some fantastic person who I will adore look at the html code and figure it out. I think it has to do with the fact that the page itself was set up with a table and my tables are within the main table??? Hope this makes sense! Thanks much! My new website test pages are at: http://www.monkeygambling.com/new%20pages/index.shtml I have a small probelm with the menu on the left side. It is not vertically aligned. The reason why is that I have an empty table inserted above it. This table is quite important as it makes the search engine spider miss the left menu out and move to the central section. My question is, is there a way to make this table exisit with no size (e.g. height =0), or just be there without affecting anything else? thanks Hi, Facing a strange issue. My html page contains a div element with fixed height and width and its overflow property set as hidden. as shown below: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Now if you open this html page in safari or chrome. As the content of the div is overflowing and div's overflow property is set as hidden so no scrollbar is displayed(as desired). Set focus on input type text, keep mouse pressed and drag the mouse. You will observe that div's content starts scrolling(which was not desired). Now open this page in ff/Ie and perform same operation content does not scrolls(desireable). How can I make sure that div's content does not scrolls in safari too. Code spinet will help. You can test this by copy pasting the html content in a test page and open in safari or chrome? Thanks, Regards I am creating a web app. that reads data from a database and then displays it on a page. I found a solution and incorporated it into my layout but it is not working technically. Even when entering data manually into the form field I get an overflow. The issue is the overflow. My table is wrapped in a div tag that limits its size to the width of its parent container, and my table has a set width. Even with all this my content will continue horizontally, almost like its reaching the width of my page (starting from the start of the table). What i would like the content to do is once it reaches the end of the div container it starts a new line in the table. I do not want to use any scrolling. Just fill my page vertically with content. Thanks! |
