I try to right-align all numbers in table columns. Is there a functionality in JSF or Primefaces that automatically align numbers to the right? I want an automated and more compact solution than adding css to each column.

I'm trying to make a table like this one where I have a profile image to the left, a bold title/name and text underneath the bold title/name, and date/time stamp underneath that... basically the same views as on that website (http://weknowwhatyouredoing.com/) or better (or twitter tweets).
Anybody know of any tutorials on how accomplish this? I'm currently using table with multiple columns but it seems that when one cell is big, all the cells in that row become the same height and i don't like that. In android this is called a list view but i'm not sure what it is in the html/css world, any help please? Thanks in advance
You could make multiple tables floating next to each other. The elements on the website you show aren't aligned as fa as I can tell.
A tutorial on rowspan and colspan can be found here.
If you make the image span 3 rows, you can put the bold text, content and date stamp each into one row. With valign you can vertically position elements within a row if the row becomes higher than the content. This will probably happen if the 3 rows together are higher than the one spanning row containing the image.
As a quick fix for your issue with the equal row heights, you could use the same layout method as they use on weknowwhatyouredoing.com.
Wrap each column in a separate <div>, and then place your <table> inside.
4 containers, 4 tables with independent row heights.
You shall give a look at the Twitter Bootstrap CSS library Twitter Bootstrap
It's pure HTML5/CSS using only divs.
for improve your knowleges in HTML, you can see W3C (Word Wibe Web Consortium) specs. For sample, if you see this page, W3C explain all structure, attributes, for Table element.
You can find lot of tutorial in google ( search "tutorial create Table HTML" ).
Also, you can help you to understand website structure with browser plugins that display hover element in specific website. ( firebug for Firefox and Chrome, Dragonfly for Opera browser...)
Why not use multiple list elements? Tables definitely don't give you flexibility for responsive designs. Making multiple columns of list elements can be rearranged as needed with limited restrictions
is it possible to use CSS3 table to make it look like this
+---A---+---B---+---C---+---D---+---E---+
>>>>+---A---+---B---+---C---+---D---+<<<< ---> case 1
+---A---+---B---+---C---+---D---+---E---+
case 1: need to margin-left the first cell right? is it any code that make auto to margin
+---A---+---B---+---C---+---D---+---E---+
+-----A-----+-------B-------+---C---+-D-+ ---> case 2
case 2: colspan is work on the cell width is same. what if the cell width is vary. Is it possible?
all of this code must be in CSS3 and HTML5 only. No use <table>, <tr>, <td> only <div>
Should I convert to use grid instead of using table?
Thank you.
Use tables if it is tabular data, if it isn't then use something else.
From your example where column widths don't match, and where colspans don't do what you want it's hard to see how the data could be tabular data.
A couple of options, colspan can work if you do it the right way. For example setting a colspan of 2 on normal single span cells would allow you to make other cells span to halfway through another column.
Or if it really isn't tabular data then use DIV's and position them apropriatley.
Using tables, you would not be able to vary the width of one rows cells without affecting the width of all the other rows cells though, im not even sure you can dynamically change colspan once the table has been drawn, never tried it to be honest).
In all honesty I suspect you are really looking to solve this using DIV's, as your data really doesn't seem to fit the tabular data model. Tbular data will generally have headers on columns with data corresponding to those column headers in the appropriate column. Your cells seem to be able to move freely and therefore would not be fixed under any particular column header.
I am guessing from the layout that you are possibly creating some sort of calendar? and events can span any distance of time etc across the columns? In which case I personally would prefer divs, although I know some people would prefer using tables.
It is nice in word processors to create short-term column layouts with documents by using tab key with the defined anchors across the top instead of using tables because you can run overlaps like this.
L R
column a row 1 column a row two
this is the first column! on the right
This allows for overlap, or naturally spanning columns without the need for so much structure. Great when you don't need borders.
Can this layout be done in HTML? I know a tabbed layout can be accomplished on a webpage, what I don't know is if you can set the column locations like you can in StarOffice/LibreOffice/OpenOffice Text or in Microsoft Word.
Using div tags with the float: left and float: right styles, you can achieve this type of structure.
I need to produce a table similar to:
What we see is the left column containing the data point headers, and each column after contains the actual data.
I'd like to treat each column (other than the first one) as an optional column. The user can add or remove the columns based on funds they select. If they've selected only 1 fund, only the first 2 columns are visible, the rest of the spaces are blank. Each subsequent fund selection adds a new column to the table, up to a max of 5.
I'm wondering what is the best way to implement this? I'm thinking each column is an independent table of a fixed width that I can add to a container which can align them side by side. Will I have difficulty getting the 6 tables to line up side by side?
Is there a better way for me to achieve this result?
You could have invididual tables, or you could assign each column a class which would then allow you to add or remove all elements that have that class using Javascript.
For example:
<table>
<tr><td class="col1"></td><td class="col2"></td><td class="col3"></tr>
<tr><td class="col1"></td><td class="col2"></td><td class="col3"></tr>
</table>
You could then use Javascript to show/hide elements (via CSS) with the relevant class based on actions of the user. Depending on how big your table is, that could work.
Nice use of Comic Sans by the way!
I'm creating a table in an asp.net code behind dynamically, and I want to have a footer row that only has 2 cells. The first should span all the columns in the table-1. Is there some way other then keeping track of the # of columns in the table manually for me to set the colspan to be # of all the columns in the table-1?
Preferably a HTML or CSS solution?
Colspan can't be done with CSS. It's structural rather than stylistic so it's pure HTML.
No you can't specify "all but one" as a colspan. The best you can do is colspan="0", which will span the remaining columns in the column group but to take advantage the <colgroup> at the top will need to know the number of columns anyway and be define statically.
See Tables in the HTML spec:
colspan = number [CN]
This attribute specifies the number of
columns spanned by the current cell.
The default value of this attribute is
one ("1"). The value zero ("0") means
that the cell spans all columns from
the current column to the last column
of the column group (COLGROUP)
in which the cell is defined.
But basically this just kicks the can down the street and I don't know what the browser support is like so it doesn't necessarily buy you anything.
You'll either need to know the number of columns when you generate the HTML or use Javascript.
Sorry this isn't an HTML or CSS solution... I'm only suggesting it because I don't think there is an HTML or CSS solution that will work cross-browser/cross-broweser version.
You could convert the table to an Asp:Table and then use the first row's Cells.Count...
But it would probably be more work than tracking the number of columns added the way you're doing it now. BUT it would not depend on Browser support as it would all be in the code-behind.
In case anybody else winds up here in the future, colspan=0 isn't supported in HTML 5. There are more details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52355253/18494923
<tr><td colspan="100%">1000</td></tr>
From question: Colspan all columns
Works in IE 7/8 & Firefox 5
