HTML - Firefox Table Rendering
Anyone else come across problems with table rendering in firefox? It seems to happen with larger tables, say a table with 30+ cells for a calendar. Sometimes firefox will render extra cells and throw everything off. The code is fine, this will happen randomly in different locations. Sometimes a refresh will fix the issue, sometimes the refresh will just move the issue to another location.
I've noticed that display:inline-table; fixes the problem for firefox, but in other browsers like opera display:inline-table; will get rid of margins (which I need). Anyone know anything about this? Similar TutorialsMy new website MoveBR.com isn't rendering correctly in Firefox, but it seems to be working fine in IE. Specifically the picture on the left is messing up the footer. Just the page I've linked to though...it's a test page to get this working on others. It seems to do this whether the picture is inside the content or in its own div. And if anyone is using Safari, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how it looks there too. I can not seem to figure this issue out. I know certain browers render different ... for IE FF uses alt tags and IE title tags... (I think thats right) but this issue seems weird there is a shadow around my List in IE but not in Firefox and the first line is broken to a second line in Internet explorer take a look This might not even be fixable, Thx! M Hi All, I am brand new to the forums. If you go to my site: www.wachusettchess.org using IE it will look fine. If you view the site using either Firefox or Safari, it's a mess with lots of overlapping text and boxes. Can anyone help me determine what the Firefox/Safari problem is? Thanks in advance. Dave Couture I have run into a problem when using tables in Firefox. I code for IE 6.0 and I like my browser to determine when to put text on a new line once the table width has been reached. Rather than put breaks <br> in my text I just let the browser decide. When I open a page in Firefox it does not wrap the text within the table it just allows the text to flow to the right until the end of the text occurs. To fix this I now have to use <br> whenever I want a new line to begin but this creates other problems when others view my pages in IE 6 or IE 7 as the line breaks are now choppy sometimes consisting of one word on a line. My screen resolution is 1280x1024 but if someone does not have this resolution the page is a mess. I am using Dreamweaver as my editor and Firefox 2.0.0.15. Works just fine with IE 6 or IE 7. Can anyone help me with this? Here is an example of a page that I been forced to put <br> at the end of each line: http://www.outdoorphotographycanada.com/dwilson.html Thanks, Dave Hello, I am building a website for a client : http://timhawarah.com/testing.php In Firefox (my favorite browser) there is about a 15 px space in the rooftop of the house which is wrong. In IE the website looks like it should. What can I do to correct this problem. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks, TaylorJumbo MY CSS looks like this: Quote: body { background-color: #202020; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#202020; text-align: left; } #topnavigation li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; padding-right: 13px; } #top2 li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; padding-right: 13px; } a:link, a:visited { text-decoration:none; font-weight: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana; padding: 0px; marging: 0px; font-size: 10px; background-color: transparent; color: #202020; border-bottom: 1px dashed #3e9446; } a:hover { text-decoration:none; font-weight: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana; padding: 0px; marging: 0px; font-size: 10px; background-color: transparent; color: #fff; border-bottom: 1px dashed #3e9446; } a.imagelink:link, a.imagelink:visited, a.imagelink:active { text-decoration:none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; background-color: none; color: #202020; border: 0px; } a.imagelink:hover { text-decoration:none; background-color: none; color: #fff; border: 0px;; } #outercase { width: 790px; background-color: #fff; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; border: 0px; text-align: left; } #top1 { width: 790px; height: 57px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; background-color: #fff; background: url("/images/wip1.jpg") no-repeat; border: 0px; } #top2 { width: 790px; height: 122px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: right; background-color: #fff; background: url("/images/wip2.jpg") no-repeat; border: 0px; } #topnavigation { width: 780px; margin: 0px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: right; background-color: #fff; border: 0px; } #middle { width: 750px; height: 300px; margin: 0px; padding: 20px; text-align: left; background-color: #fff; border: 0px; } #banners { width: 770px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; text-align: left; background-color: #fff; border: 0px; } #bottom { width: 780px; height: 10px; font-size: 9px; margin: 0px; padding: 5px; text-align: left; background-color: #3e9446; border: 0px; } and my xhtml looks like this Quote: <?include("header.php");?> <div id="outercase"> <div id="topnavigation"> <?include("navitop.php");?> </div> <div id="top1"> </div><div id="top2"> <?include("teasertop.php");?> </div> <div id="middle"> </div> <div id="banners"> <?include("banners.php");?> </div> <div id="bottom"> <?include("footer.php");?> Why do they render differently? For example look at my myspace www.myspace.com/markster106 The profile box (the one with all the text about me) is in one position in firefox, and when you open it with Internet Explorer, it is different. How should I deal with this? Code: .profile { height: 130px; width: 440px; background-image: url('http://www.freewebtown.com/markster106/myspacelayoutmunit/myspacepicture.jpg'); z-index: 2; overflow: automatic; background-color: #9c9c9c; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: left; padding: 2px } The above is the CSS used Here is the code: EDIT: I missed part of the code: <id class = "vision"> CLEAN is founded </class>on the belief that education is the essential foundation for global climate change solutions. CLEAN is a program designed to supplement existing elementary (1st-8th grade) science education. First, children learn the fundamental scientific background they need in order to understand global climate change. Second, CLEAN provides them with the tools and support they need to take positive action. Particular emphasis is placed on climate change as a concern that is not only individual and local, but equally collective and global. This emphasis is supported through the development of communication and collaboration between classrooms locally and internationally. The problems presented by global climate change can seem overwhelming, often leading to apathy and inaction. By combining practical information with a fun, engaging, play-based learning environment, CLEAN fosters a positive attitude that empowers children to take meaningful action. and the "Vision" code in my css is very simple: .vision { font: bold 25px Tahoma, 'trebuchet MS', Sans-serif; } In firefox it renders like this: while here it is in Explorer: Why the difference and how do I fix it? I have read that Microsoft doesn't follow the "rules" established by the web boards about how code should be done. Is this the problem in this case? Thanks! Two of the cells seems to be rendering backwards. Why is that? I'm just getting started w/ html, browsing the Jalfrezi tutorial site for tables (see merging/combining cells), and found this odd example. Code: <TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TH ROWSPAN=2></TH> <TH COLSPAN=2>Rating</TH> </TR> <TR> <TH>Sad</TH> <TH>Cool</TH> </TR> <TR> <TH ROWSPAN=2>Artist</TH> <TD>Belle & Sebastian</TD> <TD>Michael Bolton</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Bentley Rhythm Ace</TD> <TD>Mariah Carey</TD> </TR> </TABLE> It renders sad/cool flipped. Shouldn't cool be to the left of sad because it is declared before it? Thanks. Hey all, I'm developing a site that is supposed to display a large table (something like 1500 rows x 50 columns). Firefox renders it just fine, but IE takes ~3:00 minutes to render it. I can't even display a timer during this time since the browser is frozen while rendering the table. I have tried a couple of solutions so far: 1. Using the "table-layout:fixed" style property. ( http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/02/10/370721.aspx ). This doesn't work (I mean it works, but it still takes the same time to load). 2. Using javascript to build the table dynamically (using insertRow() and insertCell()). I gave up after 10 minutes. I'm trying to avoid splitting it up to several pages with 20 rows each, as the client (and my boss) requested this will be the last resort. Any ideas? Hi all, Having a bit of trouble with a table layout in IE. The following link renders correctly (or at least as I would like) in Firefox yet in IE the header and navigation bars are too think. I've tried adding a height attribute to all td's concerned, but to no avail. here's the link: http://www.events.ex.ac.uk/ivfdf2009...s/template.php any help you can offer muchly appreciated! 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;} </style> and here is the table code, located in the body of the page: HTML Code: <div style="Height:53px; overflow:auto; width:900px; position:absolute; top:0; left:0"> <TABLE bgcolor=#333333 cellspacing=0; cellpadding=0;><tr><td> <div id="cat"> <table width=900; cellpadding:0px; cellspacing:0px> <tr align=center> <td width=20%> <font face=tahoma><a href="home.html">Home</a></font> </td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="openings.html" target="_top">Openings</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="dance.html" target="_top">Dance</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="projects.html" target="_top">Projects</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="vocaloid.html" target="_top">Vocaloid</a></font></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="fanflashes.html" target="_top">Fanflashes</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="caramelldansen.html" target="_top">Caramelldansen</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="cosplay.html" target="_top">Cosplay</a></font></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="endings.html" target="_top">Endings</a></center></td> <td width=20%><center><font face=tahoma><a href="anime.html" target="_top">Anime Episodes</a></font></font></center></td> </tr> </table> </div> </td></tr></table> </div> A table is nested within another table. 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! Hello, I am newbie, just has started my adventure with html. I tried to make an easy static site, without any additional thingd, but it occured a problem. 1. I mean, as I put table in table because I did know how to to id in different way, to make buttons on the left stay up while text on the right is moving- if I do normal table with 2columns and on the left lets say 5rows for buttons, on the right I unite all rows to make one big sort of box for contents, as I go down and try to write something morre, the rows from the letf were enlarging too If the size of explorer or firefox is nor full screen, the text in contents is going away (like now in lycos server, where screen is not full, but "cut" by advertise) 2. I have highlighted buttons, but not always works, why? (i mean it works, but darker buttons are charging so slow- maybe it is so because i saved them in pgn instead in gif, and each one is about 50kb?) -probably it is not this- because I have just changed into gif, and it is still the same 3. Another problem, as I post the site, I have notice, that in firefox I can not navigate with buttons, while in explorer yes, is it a fault of my coding, or of server where I put website? Here I post my website: http://members.lycos.co.uk/aniaacolgate/ Could someone take a look on the code, and will be so kind to correct me? It is a basic easy site of very begginger I just wanted to make a shape like this: - top: a banner - buttons in horizontal and vertical way - under buttons: contents (sincerly would like to put frames, but do not know how to put them there, is on the left there r buttons Thank you so much in advance for reply Sorry for mistakes in language I have searched this and other forums and tried everything I could possibly think of to fix this. The space doesn't appear in any browser except IE, and unfortunately I need to make the site work fine in IE as well: http://www.mountwernerrealty.com/index3.html I have the exact same table at the very bottom of this page that is centered in both IE and Firefox... http://www.massagelaunch.com/ but on this page I have the exact same table that IS NOT CENTERED in Firefox...any idea why? http://www.massagelaunch.com/affiliates.html Thanks in advance! Hi, I have searched the forums for an answer to this question, but I couldn't find anything that solves my problem. I have designed a site in Dreamweaver. http://www.dirt-e-riders.com In IE 6 and IE 7 it shows correctly, but in firefox the backgound image for my table doesn't show. In effect I have two main tables, each sized at 100% width. Table 1 is at the top of the page and contains a bg. in jpg format Table 2 is just below that and also contains a bg. in gif format I didnt make the bg for table1 a gif cause the quality is too poor. The bg for table1 does not show, but the bg for table 2 does. I have already tried to read the bg from my CSS with no repeat but it does the same. Could someone please help me. I'm new to web design. Your help will be greatly appresiated. Thanks Hi! this is really weird. I build a simple page with a table with a background picture. In Explorer it's all good but in Chrome & Firefox, you cant see the background picture of the table. help please? thanks Jeni Hi guys Attached is an image of the problem I'm having where in Firefox my table borders are not displaying correctly.

The one on the left is the Firefox version. http://matc.studentsites.net/restorf...nal/index.html I can't get my bgcolor to display in the main content table.
