HTML - Td Width Alternatives & Validation
Heyas,
I'm creating a project at the mo that needs a rather large number of tables. The whole project so far is CSS, but with the amount of data that needs to be displayed (with up to and beyond 150 on some pages) I think the div option is out as nesting them correctly would probably be a nightmare. On attempting to validate my html with a strict doctype, the only error I'm getting is that td width="###" isn't allowed. So is there any other alternative, or some other way to specify cell widths that will validate? Getting everything to validate properly was a bit heavy on the workload, and if possible I'd like to be able to stick with strict and not have to migrate to transitional. Also just to add that the tables are pretty simple. E.g. Table set one is 2 columns wide. Column 1 and column 2 stay the same width throughout an unlimited number of additional rows. E.g. Table set two is 5 columns, and once again, these width are constant throughout an unlimited number of rows. In short, is there any alternative to using td width that will validate as a strict doctype aside from creating and nesting 400 divs? Cheers, Mopy Similar TutorialsHi guys. I need some expert about an issue I'm having. Site: Zhentor Online The website content is loaded into an IFRAME (which you can see just below the advertisement box, below the part where it says "Zhentonian Time"). However, the website uses a dynamic IFRAME resizing script, which as you can guess, resizes the IFRAME to accomodate the contents, removing scrollbars. However, for this to work, the IFRAME needs to load twice. So you can imagine that can get a little annoying over time, having each page load twice... I load the contents into the IFRAME to prevent from loading the heavy graphics again and again. But I'm getting really annoyed with the double load issue, and would like an alternative, or a better script which only loads the IFRAME once. I'm looking for a scrollbar-free solution which is why I've neglected framesets. I also used another script a while back which loaded documents into a DIV but for some reason I was unable to submit forms through the DIV, which rendered it useless. JUST to make sure, the IFRAME I am concerned with is the 2nd bordered box from the top of the page. The first one holds advertisements, and the second one, which starts with the header "Zhentonian Time" is the IFRAME that loads all website content. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please free to put them forward. A superior IFRAME resize script would be awesome, or any other way which might be suitable. Thank you. I am trying to pass some HTML code though XML but the browser is ignoring the HTML tags as oppose to turning them into HTML tags. In the example below, I want to create a link to Google with CData, but the browser outputs "<a href="http://www.google.ca/">Google</a>" as oppose to creating a link to Google. Code: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.google.ca/">Google</a>]]> I'm in the process of making a page where the menu/navigation is on the left, and to the right of it is the content area. I'm planning on using an iframe like I have in the past, so that the only place that reloads every time you click a menu option is the content area. The thing is, for the first time this website will have more content than my others, in which case a scroll bar would appear for just the content iframe ... is there any way around having this scroll bar appear? I would rather the height of the iframe just continue to extend as far down as the actual content goes, then stop. This way, the only scrollbar that appears on the webpage is the main scroll bar on the side of the browser. Is this possible with the iframe? if not, is there a better alternative?? please help!! EDIT: Edit: Okay, so I found a script that actually works but now I have another tiny problem. This is the code I found that works: http://www.milonic.com/mfa/2005-Apri...djustment.html But see on the javascript code it has a section that says "//extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers" ... this code actually does add extra unwanted space at the bottom of the iframe... extends it further than necessary. But I can't find the part where I can adjust/remove this? Could someone help me out with this?? I'm working on an application where the user will be able to build a page made up of several unrelated blocks of information. Since I'd like to generate some ad revenue from these pages, I'm concerned the disjointed nature of the information will tend to confuse ad networks (e.g. AdSense), leading to sub-optimal ads, fewer click-throughs, and less money. It would be very easy for me to create each block of information as a separate page ("sub-page"), containing its own ad code, and then pull them (and their ads) all together in the user-created pages using frames or iframes. Based on my (limited) understanding of how the ad networks work, it seems this would enable better-targeted ads based on each of these sub-pages. If I'm right, the only problem is the frames and their associated headaches. 1. Am I making too much of the ad relevance issue? 2. Is there a non-frame solution that will achieve the same results? 3. Are the benefits of frames worth the problems? Thanks. Involute I am trying to make my code more standards compliant and use the "strict" DTD. But when I try to validate using the W3C validator, there are a few things that I'm having trouble with. Target: I was using <a href target="blank" ....> to open some external links in a new window, but this isn't allowed in HTML 4 strict or XHTML 1 strict. What is supposed to be the replacement? The only thing I could find on a web search was a javascript, which I know little about. Is that the only alternative? (Seems a bit silly if it is, as this must be a commonly used feature.) Align: I used this to centre graphics, but this isn't allowed either. Are we supposed to set up different image classes in the CSS to allow centering, left, etc? br: Use of the <br> tag is allowed in HTML 4 strict, but there seem to be some paces where it isn't allowed. Does anyone have a reference to the rules for this? Thanks I think it was Pegasus who gave me this code for vertical alignment: Code: <div style="vertical-align: middle;"> But it doesn't work for what I'm tryin' to use it with.. I'm tryin' to vertically align some google adsense advertisements on an image. I got the ads to show up on the image correctly, thanks to the people here.. but I can't get'em to align vertically for some reason. Are there any alternatives for vertically aligning something?? I've made a site (http://sketch.uk.com) that hides and displays divs according to the browser size. However, ideally I'd like to prevent the hidden divs loading their content until they are visible. A good example is the index page of the above link. There is an iframe for the flash animation that changes to a static picture when you resize to a smaller window. If you were to open the site on the smaller window (such as a tablet or mobile for example) it would be better that the iframe were never loaded at all. Any suggestions? im creatinh a box containing a text. The box must be wide enough to fill a text. menu.style.width = tekst.length - this functioin gives the number of letters in text. So if the text is "hello" then the width is 5 pixels. But i need the widith of pixels needed to fit the text in a box. How can i do that? Hi, Is there away to force my website to fit an Iphone screen when viewed on the iphone. At the moment the width doesn't full span the Iphones screen so it looks bad. http://pjm.co.uk.uksite4.yourwebserv...splay&PageID=5 Thanks alot Joe Hi All, I am developing a web site and I want to set site width. How to do that...coz users may have different inch montior from 14', 17, 18' --- 21' If I set my site to 800 px X 600 px and if the user has 21' monitor I need to display some colors (left & right side of the page) How to do that...I want just like this webb site classifiedadschennai . com Plz suggest!! Regards BullsB Hi, I have a question to all. How can I made 100% header (bg only), normal content area (fixed width) then 100% box and below normal content area (fixed wifth and at last 100% footer. I don't know if this is supposed to be posted here or in the css forum - so correct me if I'm doing it wrong. I'm making a table with a variable number of colums. The first column should be allowed to have a width of 30 % if it is needed by the text, but less if it is not needed. (This can style="max-width:30%" do for me). The rest of the columns can use the space that the first columns doesn't use, but shouldn't be able to force the first column to be smaller. If I use max-width the first column might be smaller than 30% because of the rest of the columns forces it to be so, and if I use width=30% the width will be 30% even if the text in the first column doesn't need 30%. Can anyone help me? Hi, ive been trying to solve the image in the table but couldnt get it right..

Hope to get a response asap.. thank you guys, Regards, Ed How do I get an image to be 100% of the screen width, without creating a sideways scroll bar in lower screen resolution displays? Cheers _____________ Affordable Home Insurance bedroom furniture Here at ultdmovies.com, I need to find the width I made the whole thing, and plus the width of the forum at ultdmovies.com/forum. Thanks! Hello! I am trying to figure out how sites makes banners that are always 100% of the screen width no matter what resolution. I tried <table width=100% border=0> but there is still some white space around the edges so its not really 100%. Is it a style sheet command that does this? Thanks! Code: <?php

Okay so this is the code for the index.php page, what it does is displays a menu frame on the left at 15% of the page, and then the content page on the rest of it. What I would like it to do is instead of using 15% for the right frame I would like to use 180pixels instead, and the left frame should take up the remainder of the page. This frame is different for me though as it uses the stylesheet to supply it's width, height, border, and ect. I created a JSP with a table and for the columns in td I have width as percentage. This works perfectly in Firefox But IE gives different width. Here is the part of jsp relevant to this table. <tr> <td id="event" width="14%" ><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getEvent()) %></td> <td id="eventDate" width="14%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getEventDate()) %></td> <td id="createdBy" width="12%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getEventCreatedBy()) %></td> <td id="server" width="11%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getServer()) %></td> <td id="fileName" width="20%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getFileName()) %></td> <td id="fileGroup" width="8%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getFileGroup()) %></td> <td id="count" width="6%"><%= eventVO.getNumberOfTimesChanged() %></td> <td id="note" width="15%"><%= StringUtil.removeNull(eventVO.getNote()) %></td> </tr> Thank you. Please check my new website at http://www.lombrozo.co.uk the main part of each page is a table with width set to 100%, but as you can see, it doesn't quite fill the width of the browser, you can see this by the thick grey line on the right side... Any ideas? any help much appreciated. Thanks, Simon. Hi, I'm having an issue with a table that I could use some help with. Code: <table width="10"> <tr> <td width="10">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+/*-+</td> </tr> </table> As you can see, the letters contained in the <td> when printed are much wider than 10px, but because there are no spaces between the text, it stretches past 10px. I'm trying to find a way so that even though there are no spaces dividing the text, the text still stays within 10px width and doesn't stretch the table. I've tried fixed width and max-width, neither worked. Any suggestions? |
