HTML - My Tables Aren't Sorting Properly.

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

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,

I have a bunch of links that I want to alphabatize. Here is what the code looks like:

<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=YhU1kJ19AgQ">Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride</a><br>
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bfei_BCjYzQ">Coldplay - Don't Panic</a><br>
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rdkt-fDvk_Q">Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues</a><br>
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=-WZghK8I-AU">James Brown - Doing It to Death</a><br>
<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=RGm8aagBQxE">Little Brother - Let It Go (Feat. Mos Def & Talib Kweli)</a><br>

This goes on for a few hundred more links. They are all inside one paragraph tag.
Is there a fast way to alphabatize these band names?

Hello. Is there a way to use HTML so that I able to sort by a series of dates? I have a database I am currently using to manage my contacts. I would like to be able to pull up the contacts that have been recently contacted, say in the past 2 months; I would like to be able to sort this database through a series of dates:

Ex. 1/30/07 - 3/30/07

and then the database would pull up just those contacts that have been contacted within those dates (each contact entry has a "date of contact" field assigned to it). My database is in Filemaker and I am using BBEdit to manage the web based portion. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello. I am quite new to this kind of page work so I am looking for some help.

I am trying to have my page show listed items by letter and, with each letter, a number of results per a page.

For example. I would like to add "Abacus" to to "A", but "A" has 20 items already. How would I make it so that "Abacus" pushes the list down and a second page is created?

I am hoping for a script because I plan to add new items regularly. It would be tedious to manually create a new page and to sort every item down one.

i'm building some small website and have stuck with sorting text in my website: what i want to get is sorting function so i can sort may contest wit button 1st - a to z 2nd by date. can somewhan explin me have to do that.

website luck like that :

<h1> title </h1>

here i want to put button 1
here i want to put button 2

<h2> title1</h2>
<p> date1</p>
<p>text1</p>
<hr/>

<h2> title2</h2>
<p> date2</p>
<p>text2</p>
<hr/>

<h2> title3</h2>
<p> date3</p>
<p>text3</p>
<hr/>

i really stuck with this - if needed i can put all in tables. like:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<h2> title1</h2>
<p> date1</p>
<p>text1</p>
<hr/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

please help me.

Hey guys,

Okay so i have a question over a table that I am generating with data from a database.

The way i have my table set up is like this:
Recipe Name-----Prep Time-----Total Time-----Rating
=========================================
some data here 12 mins 20 mins 4.5
some data here 12 mins 20 mins 4.5
some data here 12 mins 20 mins 4.5
some data here 12 mins 20 mins 4.5

So what i want to know is if I could make the Column Header (RECIPE NAME)
into a link that way the user can click it and it would sort the recipe names
in ascending order.

When i open the page i am already displaying all the data form the database in this table. but i want to allow the user to be able to sort the recipe names.
So i would have to i guess (REFRESH) the page automatically??

I already have teh code to sort my data, what I need to know is how exactly to go about making the column header into a link to SORT and then refresh the page

Here is my code I currently have used to create the TABLE and populate it using a while loop to send the data from the DB into the table:
<table border="2" width ="500">
<tr>
<th>Recipe Name</th>
<th>Prep Time</th>
<th>Total Time</th>
<th>Rating</th>
</tr>

<!--While statement used to pass data from DB into tables -->

<? while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) ) { ?>

<tr>
<td><a href="ShowRecipe.php?id=<?=$row['id'] ?>"><?=$row['name'] ?></a></td>
<td><?=$row['preptime']?> mins</td>
<td><?=$row['totaltime']?> mins</td>
<td><?=$row['rating']?></td>
</tr>
<? } ?>

</table>

I have a basic form. I want to get all that information and make it searchable on my site.

the form will consist of names, addresses and images nothing too complicated.


Do i have to use xml?


I know this is a long answer but can someone lead me to a website a link in this forum.

Hi.
I have a really strange script, and its completely messed up

My problem is that there is writing i dont need, but there are 138 different sections of this writing. Each one slightly different.

I wanted to know if there was any way to get rid of all of the stuff i don't want, without having to repeat it 138 times.

Thanks for reading.

Could someone tell me what's involved or suggest a way that I could have a table full of info made up of store names, state/province, address, phone numbers etc. that could instantly be sorted by one of these categories.

could someone have a look at a site that I am working on...

http://benjaminpotter.org/stpauls/

and tell me how come in IE the picture box moves off to the right...

it has stumped me!

hey anyone who's reading this.. i'm having trouble with fleshing out a vertical menu as when i do, it either doesn't work or doesn't work the way that i had imagined. any help?

trying to make submenus that shift down the other main menus from the main menu it originated from.
font style won't attach; i used ideoma_SPRAY.otf for the entirety of it and both the html and css are separated in the one txt file. wasn't sure if i was supposed to post this to html or css so i'm just putting it up here for now.

thank you!
