I have a panelGrid to show information. When I insert one button in the first row, the rest of the rows move down. If I insert the button the rest of the rows don't must be moved. What CSS properties I need use.
A picture of my panel:
Shadowed row is the first row. Next picture show the second row:
And I want to my panel look like this:
I have used position:absolute over the button but my page is responsive and when I resize the page, this property crash responsive design. So what properties I need to use for get my goal? I am using Primefaces.

You'll need a div wrapper for your button, and the button to be floated inside so the div does not take extra height.
<table>
<tr class="first-row">
<td>
<div class="button-wrapper">
<a class="some-button">+</a>
</div>
First row
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="second-row">
<td>
Second row
</td>
</tr>
</table>
And the CSS:
.button-wrapper {
float: right;
height: 1px; // Fool the row by thinking that this div doesn't have height
}
.some-button {
float: right;
}
This way, when the navigator renders the row, it thinks that the div child has only 1 px, so it does not expand vertically.

If I have HTML like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="a.png">
</td>
<td>
<p>Sunday</p>
<p>Sunday</p>
<p>Sunday</p>
<p>Sunday</p>
<p>Sunday</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The second column can have a variable number of paragraphs, so the height will be different. Whatever height the row is, I want the image to be that height. I tried this:
img {
height: 100%;
}
but it didn't seem to do anything. I would like to avoid changing the HTML if possible, can I do this with only CSS?
So the reason I wanted to increase the height of the image, was because the
second column can be much larger, which pushes the image way down with the
default table vertical centering. Instead of focusing on the image size, I
instead just moved the image to the top:
td {
vertical-align: top;
}
If someone has a solution to the original question I am still interested, but
this should do as a workaround.
I have a table with multiple columns. In one of the column rows I want to add 2 elements which will be next to each other. One text element and one icon. The icon has a fixed with, the text element needs to be dynamic and has to be truncated with ... when the column cannot stretch anymore.
This is the HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<span>Truncated text goes here</span>
<i class="icn sprite icn-name></i>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
How do I do this? Using display: table; will make the HTML all buggy.
As said in comments, if you allow text and image to stay in adiacent cells, you can try the following.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Truncated text goes here</td>
<td><img src="imageURL" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
You can use vertical-align:top; in td style to align text on the top of the cell. And then you can use the following to set image width.
td>img {
vertical-align:top;
display:inline-block;
width:80px;
}
Fiddle
UPDATE
If you don't want to add extra cells to your table, you can create an internal div inside the cell, display it with display:table; property, and then display both span and img with display:table-cell; property.
Fiddle
I added the <i> element in front of the <span> element and gave the <i> element a float: right; and the <span> element the truncate styles.
Works fine now!
I have created a couple of tables. now i need both tables to be next to each other and not one table on top of each other. how can i position the second table next to the first one (to the right) but with sufficient space in between?
this is some code of my second table:
<table>
<h3>Personaldaten</h3>
<tr>
<td>Externe Referenz:</td>
<td colspan="2">
<input class="LargeText" type="text" style="width: 150%">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Titel:</td>
<td colspan="2">
<input class="LargeText" type="text" style="width: 150%">
</td>
</tr>
above are 2 entities from the first table, how do i proceed like this?
Try to use a wrapper around the tables and use float:left;
//margin: top right bottom left
<div style="width:500px; margin: 30px 0px 0px 320px">
<table style="width:240px; float:left; margin-right:20px;">
</table>
<table style="width:240px; float:left;">
</table>
</div>
get rid of your absolute positioning if you don't really need it and use CSS like
table{
float:left;
margin:0px 5px;
}
You have two choices really.
If you're happy creating your layout with tables, then put both of your tables within another table. i.e.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>{ table 1 stuff }</table>
</td>
<td>
<table>{table 2 stuff }</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Or you can start looking into 'float'ing your elements.
You can create a new table with 1 row and 2 columns and place your first table inside the first column and your second table inside the second column.That way both tables can be displayed side by side
If it were me, I would surround your tables in a div layer, specifying the width and height of the div layer to force the tables next to each other.
For example:
<div id="tablecontainer">
<table id="lefttable"></table>
<table id="righttable"></table>
</div>
And in the CSS:
table
{
margin: 5px;
}
#lefttable
{
float: left;
}
Obviously, this code isn't going to be exactly what OP wants, but you get the idea.
Either use float: left or display: inline-block.
#1:
table {
margin: 10px;
float: left
}
#2:
table {
margin: 10px;
display: inline-block
}
See http://shaquin.tk/experiments/tables2.html and http://shaquin.tk/experiments/tables3.html.
First, fix the syntax and styling. A table element cannot have an h3 child. Either put the h3 inside a cell (which is inside a tr), or turn it to a caption. Don’t set a width of 150%, as this would make the a cell occupy 150% of the width of the available space. The width of an input field set is best set in characters, using the size attribute in HTML.
Then you can float the tables in CSS as suggested in other answers, or by using align=left in table tags. To create horizontal spacing between the tables, you can set e.g. margin-right on the first table.
Note that for usability and accessibility, forms should normally be presented so that there is one input item with its label on one line, so that filling out the form proceeds vertically in a simple manner. So you might be solving the wrong problem.
I currently have:
<div class="generic-block-70">
<div class="generic-content-70">
<table id="voteBlock">
// stuff
</table>
</div>
</div>
However, seeing as the generic-block-70 and generic-content-70 do not have a set height and they expand vertically as text is added, I can't simply set my table's style to height: 100%;.
Is there a way around this?
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2vLEL/
Set overflow: auto; on your parent div.
http://jsfiddle.net/2vLEL/2/
.generic-content-70 {
overflow: auto;
}
I think I probably had a similar problem. This is how I solved it.
I have nested tables within tables.
Users clicked a button and Javascript created new table rows and cells and filled the cell with data from a form. In order to force the cell to wrap the text and not expand horizontally, I had to use a <div></div> tag inside the cell.
In order to force the "table" to NOT expand vertically as new table rows were added, I had to place <div></div> tags below the <td> containing the .
So, the html created from my javascript might look like this.
<table id="root">
<tr id="A">
<td id="1" style="width:200px">Content</td>
<td id="2" style="width:530px">
<div height="correct_height" overflowY="auto">
<table id="comments_table" style="width:510px table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="word-wrap:break-word">
<div style="width:480px;white-space:nowrap">Comments</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
.
.
.
</table>
The first <td id="1"> is created by a function that runs first.
The second <td id="2"> is created by a function that runs after and it grabs the height of the <td id="1"> so that the height of the 2nd cell in the row is dependent on the height of the 1st cell in the row.
The widths are arranged as such to allow space for the vertical scroll bar to appear.
You have to subtract any padding that you use. For example if two of the elements have style="padding:5px" then that means 5top 5bottom x 2 elements. So:
var correct_height = A.offsetHeight - 20;
The code depends on the intention:
If you want to lock the table to a height, give it a height: NNpx;
If you want to lock the div to a height, give IT a height: NNpx; and an overflow: MM; depending on your needs
I have a table with two columns and one row, and 100% width across the screen. I want the first column to take up as much space as the content in it will fill. This content shouldn't take up the entire screen, so I'm not worried about wrapping. I then want the second cell to take up the remainder of the horizontal space.
How would I go about setting up this table? I've tried many different combinations of setting the widths on the two cells to no avail.
Setup your CSS as follows:
table {
width: 100%;
}
td.firstCol {
width: 1%;
white-space: nowrap;
}
And your table markup like so:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="firstCol">
First column content
</td>
<td>
Second column content
</td>
</tr>
</table>
And that should do the trick.
