Question

Table Columns

Asked by: Zraxius

I'm having a problem making each column widths the same, and making the text in each cell split where I want it(I'd like to be able to have the second or third name of each team on the second line of the cell). I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX v 6.0. Here is the code:

<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
        <!--DWLayoutTable-->
        <tr align="left" valign="middle">
          <td width="996" height="1113" align="center" valign="top"> <p align=center><strong><font color=#000066 size=4><br>
              <font color="#000099" size="5" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Search
              for College Merchandise by team!</font><br>
              </font></strong></p>
            <table width="769" height="1756" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1">
              <!--DWLayoutTable-->
              <tr valign="bottom">
                <td width="115" height="81"><div align="center">

Hi,

Okay. There are two separate issues here. You'll be pleased to learn that both can be rectified without going near the code (if that's your preference).

First, breaking the lines. You can simply insert a line-break tag, <br>, between the words. This is located in the character tab of the Insert panel, it's the first icon on that tab.

Now for the columns, in fact only the topmost cell (below the top ones that spread right across the table's width, that is) needs to have a width attribute. The others below will match it automatically in the browser.

Select a whole column by hovering the mouse over the top edge of the top cell until you get a down-pointing arrow, and clicking there.  Then in the Properties panel, delete the value from the 'width' box and hit Enter. At first, that column will probably squash down a bit, but don't worry. Now just select the top cell of that column by clicking within it and dragging to its edge, so it is highlighted like the whole column was before. Now enter 14% in the Width box.

(I say 14% because that's nearly right for the seven columns you have, but if you do this for each column you'll have a remainder of 2%. You can either add those two percent onto one or two of the columns, make an eighth (empty) column for them, or ignore the fact and see what happens. You just had to pick a prime number, dint'ya?)

1- Don t use % for the outside table. Give it a number
2- Use % for inside one. Giving each 14% as it was said.
3- Shift+Enter makes a linebreak = <br>
    Use it for the names
4- Now you might choose a font that fits and center it in each cell
Hope it helps

Of course, changing the whole table's width from a percentage to an absolute numeric value will guarantee the appearance of the contents (until users start changing text sizes in the browser that is).

But on the other hand, it won't fit to different window/screen sizes.

And if you do this, there's _no point_ in giving the columns percentage widths: you may as well make them numeric too, then you can make them a precise divisor of seven.

I am still having problems getting each column the same width as all the others.  I have the entire table width set at 100% and the inside table set at 90%, but I don't have an option to set a percentage for each cell or column.  every time I try to set a fixed value for all the columns, they resize, but never to the same size.

 

by: ZraxiusPosted on 2005-04-23 at 10:25:28ID: 13850930

Ok, this is what confuses me:  I set the inner table's width to 707 pixels, then selected every cell in the top row, and set its width to 101.  NONE of the cells remained the same width, but the largest width was 108.  So i reset the inner tables' width to 756, then made each column width 108.  Every column still has a different width and now the largest width is 115.  What gives?  this doesn't seem logical.

BTW, in layout view, the numbers in parenthesis at the top of each table seem to be the columns' actual width.  What are the numbers not in parenthesis next to it? Cause it certainly isn't the width that I set it to be.  Instead of it displaying the 108 that I set it to, it's displaying a 110, and the actual widths in parenthesis range from 96 to 115 pixels.

 

by: ZraxiusPosted on 2005-05-04 at 07:42:41ID: 13927167

I finally figured it out, I had to remove the "paragraph" and "no wrap" settings from each cell.  After that was done I was able to size the columns how I wanted.

Havin_it, you solved my linebreak problem, and alinax, you gave me the shortcut for it............this saved me alot of time.

 

by: Havin_itPosted on 2005-05-04 at 08:02:23ID: 13927366

you're welcome - sorry  couldn't be more help with the layout-view problems (never use it), but I'm glad you got it sorted in the end!

You´re always welcome. Glad to help make it faster. Remember never use tags you don´t need.
Bye
