Table Sizing

Hi All,

I have a table with three columns but I want to make the left had column a fixed width?

Is this possible?

For example if the table is 300 pixels wide

I want column 1 to be 50 pixlels and column 2 & 3 125 pixles each!

anyone any ideas?

cheers

Tonyspecify width in pixels for first column, then percentage for other 2

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
 <td width="50"> </td>
 <td width="33%"> </td>
 <td width="33%"> </td>
 </tr>
</table
or size everything
<table width="300" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
 <td width="50"> </td>
 <td width="125"> </td>
 <td width="125"> </td>
 </tr>
</table>

Is that what you meant ??
col1:
width = 15%

col2 and col3
width = 42%

is that what you ment?

otherwise if you wanted col1 to always be 50 pixels

col1:
width = 50

withis the second column nest a table with two columns of width = %50

try that and tell me how it works

table server control -- make column invisible

I have a table server control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table) on my form
that has three columns. Sometimes I need the second column to be invisible,
sometimes the third. How can I set a column to be invisible in code? There
appears to not be a programmatic way to work with columns in the way that
there is rows.

Thanks.

--SusanI don't think there a Column Visible property for the WebControls.Table object. So you may have to handle this on your own

For example
foreach(TableRow tr in myTable.Rows

tr.Cells[yourcolumnindex].Visible = false

tables ;-(

Hello,

I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table. I have been
using Visual Studio C# 2005.

Basically, the table has certain column widths to start out with. When
data is added to it (and the size of the column is too small), the data
(in this case text) in the column wraps ;-/

How can I keep the data from wrapping? What would be nice is if no
wrapping to place at all and to just be able to adjust the size of
columns manually. You know - where you place the cursor on the boundary
of the column, the cursor changes and then you can lengthen or shorten
the width of the column in order to see more (or less) data.

So, in a nutshell, I would like for the column widths (as well as the
table length and width) to remain the same size as did from the start.
Adjustment of column widths would take place only when using the mouse
;-)

How can I do this?

TIAIm guessing here, but if you think about what the system would need to do in
order to assess the column width Its unlikely that it is going to do it for
you.

In order to assess the column with of any column, one would have to loop
through each cell and get the context, font and size and then measure this
graphically; For each iteration, one would need to adjust the column width
for each lager than previous cell until the end were reached.

If there is no automatic way of doing this then you would have to do this
manually with code.

Other comments ?

Try style rule table-layout:fixed;

Watch out for a too-exact layout, one that is "perfect" on your development machine.
A user might use a different browser, have different installed fonts or uses
by default a font with a different size -> gone is your careful layout!

Hans Kesting
set absolute width and overflow style for each td's content, so it can honor
the width. you would need to write client code to resize the table column
widths (adjust the content widths).

<table border=1>
<tr>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this fits</div></td>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
doesn't fit</div></td>
</tr>
</table

How would one approach the writing of clinet code to support the
widths? Is there any sample code available?

You could easily ammend this code to suit your table control.

tables & rows & columns

I have a table that doesn't line up the way I want it to. I have 6 rows and
3 columns. The 3rd column spans the 6 rows and contains a grid. If the
data in the grid has more than 6 rows of data, the other rows spread out
vertically, as if there is extra space in there. I don't want that to
happen, I want the 6 rows to be together as if there is no space between
then. I have tried using height, valign, using a set height and using a
percentage height and it doesn't work. How can I make the 6 rows on the
left align all the way to the top?
<table borderColor=red cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=1
runat="server" ID="Table1">
<tr vAlign=top colspan=4><td> </td></tr>
<tr vAlign=top>
<td valign=top style="HEIGHT: 15px" align=left width=100>Col 1</td>
<td vAlign=top height=5>Col 2</td>
<td align=right rowspan=6>Col 3<br>Col 3<br>Col 3<br>Col 3<br>Col 3<br>Col

Tables and column sizes

What do I have to do to get a column in a table to stay the same size no
matter what is in the other tables?
I've tried setting the width in px, in percentages, and nothing seems to
work; for example, the columns that are colored #cccccc I want to stay the
size of the menu control, which doesn't change.
However, if the column to the right of it, with the ucGeneral and ucDetails
controls, has nothing in it, or something very small, the #cccccc column
spreads out and I don't want it to do that. What's the secret.
<table runat=server bgcolor=white border=0 bordercolor=black height="100%"
width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 ID="Table1">
<tr height="10%" width="100%">
<td colspan=5><uc1:ucHeader id=UcHeader1
runat="server"></uc1:ucHeader></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"> </td>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"><uc1:ucMenu
id=UcMenu1 runat="server"></uc1:ucMenu></td>
<td bgcolor="#cccccc" rowspan=3 style="WIDTH: 10px"> </td>
<td bgcolor="white" rowspan=3> </td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top width="100%"><td valign=top><uc1:ucGeneral id=UcGeneral1

<tr valign=top height="100%" width="100%"><td valign=top><uc1:ucDetails
id=UcDetails1 runat="server"></uc1:ucDetails></td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks.In the column you want to be fixed, add the "nowrap" option in the TD tag.
For the column to the right, set it's width to 100%.
You could also try putting the contents of the fixed cell in a table of it's
own with a fixed size and aligned either center, left, or right. If the
right
column changes, it won't change how the nested table looks to the user.

For the table set css rule table_layout:fixed; then specify the width for

In the column you want to be fixed, add the "nowrap" option in the TD tag.
For the column to the right, set it's width to 100%.

You could also try putting the contents of the fixed cell in a table of it's
own with a fixed size and aligned either center, left, or right. If the
right
column changes, it won't change how the nested table looks to the user.

For the table set css rule table_layout:fixed; then specify the width for
the columns in the first row.

tables ;-(

Hello,
I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table. I have been
using Visual Studio C# 2005.
Basically, the table has certain column widths to start out with. When
data is added to it (and the size of the column is too small), the data
(in this case text) in the column wraps ;-/
How can I keep the data from wrapping? What would be nice is if no
wrapping to place at all and to just be able to adjust the size of
columns manually. You know - where you place the cursor on the boundary
of the column, the cursor changes and then you can lengthen or shorten
the width of the column in order to see more (or less) data.
So, in a nutshell, I would like for the column widths (as well as the
table length and width) to remain the same size as did from the start.
Adjustment of column widths would take place only when using the mouse
;-)
How can I do this?
TIAIm guessing here, but if you think about what the system would need to do in
order to assess the column width Its unlikely that it is going to do it for
you.
In order to assess the column with of any column, one would have to loop
through each cell and get the context, font and size and then measure this
graphically; For each iteration, one would need to adjust the column width
for each lager than previous cell until the end were reached.
If there is no automatic way of doing this then you would have to do this
manually with code.
Other comments ?

Try style rule table-layout:fixed;

Watch out for a too-exact layout, one that is "perfect" on your development
machine.
A user might use a different browser, have different installed fonts or uses
by default a font with a different size -> gone is your careful layout!
Hans Kesting
set absolute width and overflow style for each td's content, so it can honor
the width. you would need to write client code to resize the table column
widths (adjust the content widths).
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this fits</div></td>
<td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
doesn't fit</div></td>
</tr>
</table>

You could easily ammend this code to suit your table control.

td tag generating faulty code

I have created a user control using asp:table control. The control generates
a single column menu controls with 5 rows. each row is supposed to have a
image in link tag. The problem is that ASP.Net framework generates closing
"td" tags on new line. This causes to show extra white pixels at the bottom
of each image. This is because of a known bug in "IE" where it has issues
with closing "td" tag on new line.
Question .... is there a way to control the HTML tags generated by ASP.Net
controls so that I can get the UI the way I want it?
Thanks
Naveen K Kohli
http://www.netomatix.comYou would have to override the Render method of the server control, or
possible create a custom control where you specify the HTML to rendered.
