I create a table in jquery-mobile and the table present different from what I want it to be when the device's/screen's width is too small.
This is what I expect (when I open in web preview)
This is what it be in mobile simulator
I want each row represent in the same line
[Position] [Level] [DeleteBtn]
Not the seperate line
[Position]
[Level]
[DeleteBtn]
Thank you for suggestions or solutions.
Ps. I also want the Damaged Position(s): label to align the same horizontal position of the plus button. If you know the solution, it will be welcome. ;)
I think it's the "reflow" data-mode.
Check it out here.
If you want to keep it, you should make sure there is enough space for all columns (otherwise, it will break into a stacked presentation)
A similar question that might help: here.
Also, according to jquery, reflow is the default, so removing it shouldn't help

I have a QGridLayout with QLabels in it that are displaying some values and the units to that values. For good readability I want the value to be left-aligned within the QLabel and the unit to be right-aligned.
At first I wanted to do this with QtStyleSheets but the only way I found was to change the text-alignment of the whole widget like this:
myLabel.setStyleSheet("QLabel {qproperty-alignment: AlignRight}")
My second thought was to do it via HTML but there I also encountered several problems. Here is what I tried:
myLabel.setText("<div align=\"left\">Value<\div><div align=\"right\">Unit<\div>")
This does the right thing, after that the value is left-aligned and the unit right-aligned, but they are not on the same line anymore. Nevertheless it appears to me the more promising approach. Unluckily I am not very familiar with HTML.
Can anybody help?
Or if you really just want go on with html in QLabel use table instead of div's. But #saeed is right, better use Qt Layouts and spacer between them.
Example with HTML:
myLabel.setText("<table width=\"100%\"><td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\">Value</td><td width=\"50%\" align=\"right\">Unit</td></table>");
I suggest you to use two Qlabels and a Horizontal spacer like image below , this is fast and you can let Qt handle whole design layout.
This is my code:
<table>...Some content...</table>
<table>...Another content...</table>
I want to put the second table on top of the first table. This is to be used as an email template (in some clients position and margin are not available).
Those are the only two options available (outside of transform, which definitely won't work if position isn't available) that will allow one element to invade another element's space. If you can't use position or margin, then you're out of luck, and you need to re-evaluate what you are trying to achieve and why. Any chance you could do this with images?
There are always ways...not always elegant, but when you have limited options, 'works' is often all you really need. IMO, creativity is as much about solving a problem with limited options as it is thinking 'outside the box'.
Most email clients allow you to set 'height', so simply wrap the first table (the background) in a div and give that div height:0px;. the table will overflow the div, but the next element won't respect it's space because it has 0 height, and will effectively be layered in front.

If you want the size of the tables to match exactly, you'll probably have to explicitly set heights and widths, but the fiddle above illustrates the basic concept. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
Based on the additional info in the comment (the second table should only partly overlap the first table) here is an updated fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/acq3ob6y/1/
EDIT #2:
Dang. Outlook switching to the Word/Office rendering engine for HTML/CSS might be the only way possible to get WORSE than the IE version. Sigh. (Thanks to #Gortonington for the comment/clarification, though!)
Ok, then, the idea of a background image is only a problem for retina displays (if you want them to be all crisp and beautiful and retina-ie), and retina devices are going to be handling CSS in a more modern way (hopefully!), so how about this as a solution: Media Query targeting device resolution loads CSS with the double-size img and uses css background-size to constrain it: http://jsfiddle.net/tcyjo7ok
Third try is a charm? At least the list of options is growing...
The only way to overlay two elements across email clients is through use of background images. Even this can be broken in some clients and requires a lot of conditional and reiterate code (backgrounds.cm is good resource for email bg images).
This is the only option that will display in MOST clients. Even this is still very restricted and not very agile to use (but that is true in ALL email coding). Most other techniques will only work for a couple clients and break completely in all others.
Please see my awesome graphic below which is neither too scale or complete. BUT, I wanted to show the structure I'm going for instead of describing it.
I am creating a space rental system wherein a calendar, structured similarly to the below image, both shows the "taken" spots and also allows a user to click an "open" slot to reserve it themselves. I don't need help with the functionality though, just the layout.
Since this is tabular data at it's finest, with headers and everything, I was able to easily create the desired layout that way. However, tables render from left to right, so in the example below, it renders SPACE 1 9:00am, SPACE 2 9:00am, SPACE 3 9:00am, etc. I need it to actually render SPACE 1 9:00am, SPACE 1 10:00am, etc.
The reason is that in order to make each reservation into a "block" represented by the blue squares below, I need to be able to loop through the columns vertically and not through the rows horizontally.
I also want the columns to be a consistent width and be flexible if more spaces are added or if one/some are removed down the road.
I've been playing with flexbox, which I've barely used before, and I'm having no luck at all. I'm not even sure that's the right direction.
My question would be either 1) is there a way to get a standard table to load the way I want or 2) how can I do this without tables?
Maybe bootstrap's grid system will fit your needs. http://getbootstrap.com/css/
You can create a grid like structure by adding columns, up to 12 in a row, and locking those into rows.

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
I'm new on this particular project, and I've been tasked with resolving an issue that's appearing in IE8.
If you check http://funds.ft.com/ETFHomepage.aspx, There's a section called "News". In that section, there's a column called "Most Popular ETFs". This should be the same width as the "Recently Viewed ETFs" column.
For reference, this page is appearing correctly in Firefox. Can somebody please point out what I can do with CSS or (some other means)* to resolve this?
*I know the best way to resolve this issue is to scrap the terrible design and implement it correctly!! :-) -- we're actually doing that right now. It's a big job, so it's taking a long time. In the mean time however, we have to fix the bugs as they appear. Thanks
Update: just to note what I've said to Hristo, "I think the problem is with the table (rather, nested tables) on the left. The table in the center has its width defined by the image, and the table on the right doesn't have an image so it gets crushed"
Well the reason this is happening is because of the url you have under the "Alphaville: Overcoming the Volcker rule, with ETFs" header. Since the url has no whitespace in it, the table tries to give it space. So there are a couple of ways to fix this problem:
Plain text urls aren't very becoming on a webpage (especially when they're not in anchor tags so you can click on them.) Could you update the content so that you don't have a raw url in your content?
If you must be able to handle long lines of text with no whitespace then you need to figure out how to change the layout of the page so it forces the text to either wrap or clip to fit the container. Try playing around with putting "table-layout: fixed" on your tables to force the column widths to be sized based on the table's specifications only (instead of content). Firefox seems to be wrapping on dashes and slashes in the url whereas IE only wants to wrap on the dashes in the url.
I would say your layout is fine, and you just need to fix the content generation so it doesn't include any long plain text urls (option 1 above)
EDIT: If you do decide to go with option 2 above, then look into the css rule "word-break: break-all". It is IE only and it forces the text to break as soon as it reaches the end of the container. Not good for words, but it works for url's. So you couldn't apply this to the whole news table, but you could to just the cell that contains the url.
