I have the following HTML table set up which yields the result in the screenshot.
Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="4">
<img src="website_title_banner.png" style='width:100%;' alt="nul"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="width:100%;">
<td>
<img src="About sign.fw.png" style='width:100%;'/>
</td>
<td>
<img src="gallery sign.fw.png" style='width:100%' />
</td>
<td>
<img src="Products sign.fw.png" style='width:100%' />
</td>
<td>
<img src="Contacts sign.fw.png" style='width:100%'/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I'd like to have it so the signs are 'nailed' to the striped banner. Given that the signs are all placed in their own table cell in the row, is it possible to make the 2nd row overlap with the first row by a specified pixel distance?
I'm reasonably proficient with HTML (but it has been a long time) but I am unfamiliar with CSS - so if the solution is to use CSS, a step by step implementation would be greatly appreciated (using Dreamweaver).
Thanks in advance!
Try styling your second row with a negative margin-top. This should make the .png's overlap the row above them. Here's an example based off of your code - http://jsfiddle.net/NinoLopezWeb/myv37cb0/1/
This is not the best way to do it, but if you really want to you can use a negative value in
margin-top, for example margin-top: 10px;
Not the cleanest way but it works.
quickest way to do this is have a negative margin. You can also make the stripes as the background of the menu.

Imagine that I have <table>, then I want to change the position of the image and the text in the child "nth-child" of the table. Is it possible to do that? Please help me out of this problem thanks.
here's the code of the table
<table id="tbl-inquiry">
<tr>
<td><img class="table-img"src="images/2.jpg"></td>
<td><h5 class="table-title">sample</h5>
<p class="table-description">sample text.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img class="table-img"src="images/2.jpg"></td>
<td><h5 class="table-title">sample</h5>
<p class="table-description">sample text.</p></td>
</tr>
</table>

It's not possible with a table, however it's super easy if you use CSS Grid instead.
Here is a super solid resource: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/
I am making a simple newsletter layout that can only contain basic HTML but am getting caught up on formatting it properly. I have very little html experience, if I could use css I could lay this out but this is meant to be low level html that most e-mail clients can display properly.
This is a bit of code that I've done to get the image and a button (in the position of button 2) looking correct but it's getting the top and bottom buttons sitting there correctly that's the issue.
<table width="100%" style="text-align:center;">
<td>
<img src="http://localhost/temp/leftpic.png"></td>
<td>
<img src="http://localhost/temp/button.png"></td>
</table>
This is my design outcome. With the outter border being a table border centered in the middle of the page.
Is it possible to format something relatively close to this without using css?
I appreciate any help, cheers.
You CAN use css, you just have to avoid third-party files. You need to define the CSS rules inline, that is, in the style attribute, as you are already doing it for table. However, your HTML is invalid. You need to have tr elements outside your td elements and it is healthy to actively wrap your tr elements inside a tbody, which should be the child of your table.
By the way: the reason one should avoid third-party css in this case is that it might mess the design of the page of gmail/yahoo.
Something like this will start you off... This is with no CSS and no styling (other than what you have originally).
Although you state no CSS yet your first line is styling (albeit inline). Did you just mean no external file?
This is how we used to do layout before CSS, so this is using HTML tables:
<table width="100%" style="text-align:center;" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
<img src="http://localhost/temp/leftpic.png" width="390" height="480" />
</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="bn1" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="bn2" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="bn3" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Since you have a fixed height of your image on left, you can also use
<tr height="160">
Since 160 * 3 = 480 (the height of your image)
See an example here https://jsfiddle.net/on6ytfyn/
You probably want to remove the border in the first line of code too.
I had a table
<td colspan="6">
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr align="center">
<td width="5%"><input type="checkbox" name="chkAll" class="chkAll" value="1" /></td>
<td width="7%"><strong>Item Id </strong></td>
<td width="20%"><strong>Item</strong></td>
<td width="17%"><strong>Type</strong></td>
<td width="17%"><strong>Rate</strong></td>
<td width="17%"><strong>Quantity</strong></td>
<td width="17%"><strong>Price</strong></td>
</tr>
I am representing the table through <DIV> like This
<div id="table">
<div class="row" id="row" align="center">
<div id="cell"><input type="checkbox" name="chkAll" class="chkAll" value="1" /></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Item Id </strong></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Item</strong></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Type</strong></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Rate</strong></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Quantity</strong></div>
<div id="cell"><strong>Price</strong></div>
</div>
but I can't find any replacement for colspan="6". Can anyone help?
OK, let's get this straight for the 100th time.
Tables are not evil.
Tables are for tabular data. If you have headers, rows or columns, then it's cool. Tables are the thing to use.
In HTML. Tables.
Misusing elements is evil
Using any element for the wrong reason is wrong.
h1 for images
table for layout
button for links
These things are wrong. And bad.
Summary
Use tables for tables, not for layout, and everyone will be happy.
Div do not use concept of columns. You can have as many as you want, div's in a row. You can fix width of div and then can use them to build up table. By the way you can go for css framework like bootstrap will be much more efficient.
Make the div width in such a way that, it will occupy "TD" sections.
For that you just need to add one more class with some higher width in it and some less div on the new row.
OK, another quick question pertaining to this. I took the advice and it works great, my dilemma now is that there is a space between the tables.
I was going to attach a file but I guess I don't have the rep too quite yet.
Anyways, if you can go to http://www.wholesalecabinets.us/Wall-Cabinets_c_524.html, you'll see what I mean. See how the line is close at the tops of the tables and there is a space before the line starts again?
I know, I know... something easy for you guys.
Sorry, I'm a newb and I don't have much HTML experience, but I need some help with a problem.
Currently I have a website that has a bunch of product. I managed to get the products listing to be pretty close to what I want with the exception of one problem, I want the price to be on the same line as the [name] but to the far right. Currently it is under the description to the far right.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

You're inserting a new row, when all you want is a new column on the same raw.
You should be able to achieve this by putting the price td in the same row as the name td.
The <tr> elements in your HTML are table rows. What you're looking for are columns. You cannot explicity define columns in HTML (HTML is one dimensional after all) but you can define td (table data) and th (table header) elements inside a row to effectively create a column. If you want your item name, description and price to all be on the same line, they need to be inside the same table row, represented separately as either <td> or <th> elements.
When coding a HTML email newsletter Outlook 2010 is acting up. (surprise surprise)
The following screenshot is the result: http://screencast.com/t/PSZqP7wg
This screenshot shows what's happening (same, but images turned off): http://screencast.com/t/DrbexyHnytJ
Obviously, the middle white column is to narrow. Should be 604px wide, but is a lot less. It seems Outlook is placing extra padding next to the spacer images.
Anyone has an idea why this is happening?
This is the source in the body tag:
<table width="761" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" height="151" style="height: 151px;" style="padding: 0px;"><img width="761" height="151" src="http://www.bothino.be/newsletter/top.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="77" style="width: 77px;">
<img src="http://www.bothino.be/newsletter/spacer.jpg" width="77" alt="" />
</td>
<td width="604" bgcolor="ffffff">
test sdlkfjhklsdjfhqsdklfh qklsdfh klqsjf lqksjdf lkqsjdhf lkdflkqshdfkl jqhsdlkfj
hqslkdfh qlksjdfh lqskjdhf lkqjshdlfk jqhsldkfh qlsdjfh lqksjdflk qsdflkqshdklfh
klqshdf kqshdklf hqskldfqklsd
</td>
<td width="76" style="width: 76px;"><img src="http://www.bothino.be/newsletter/spacer.jpg" width="76" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="151" colspan="3">
<img width="761" height="151" src="http://www.bothino.be/newsletter/bottom.jpg" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
You just need to add a background color to both tags. the widths are displaying correctly.
I'm used to issues with "undefined" blank spaces and line breaks in IE and Outlook. They are usually interpreted as a real, wanted space, formatted by style of the nearest parent (if any).
That's why i prefer writing htm like this:
<tr>
<td height="151" colspan="3"><img
src="http://www.bothino.be/newsletter/bottom.jpg"
width="761" height="151" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
Line breaks inside a tag will make no difference at display time ... but apply a similar structure to the code.
The important part is no blank between TD and IMAGE tag.
Maybe, this doesn't explain and solve that huge indentions in your screenshot.
my experience with Outlook is to never ever never ever use the rowspan and colspan attributes. This is guaranteed to cause trouble. Should a table cell require a different layout/width than the one above/below it, nest another right into it with the correct layout. this way the overall basic grid stays intact. Not nice, but then again: outlook plays dirty and so will you (have to). All tables need to have cellpaddign=0 and cellspacing=0. This helps me to get over similar issues.
sometimes it's better to leave out width for td's eg leave out width=77 and rest of width for all td's. that way it can expand automatically to fill the entire row. or you can also include a table withing that tr.
