I'm new to HTML & CSS. I made multiple tables and wish to display them all on one line inside a box. I tried the following but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone please fix this?
This is my CSS code:
#content2{
margin: 30px 0;
background: white;
padding: 20px;
clear: both;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px #999;
text-align: center;
overflow:hidden;
}
table{
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
float:left;
}
td,th{
padding: 20px;
}
The HTML should be correct.
Rather than using float: left, display the tables as inline by using display: inline-block
Example
Do know that this will make it so table elements won't get their default full width (which you probably don't want to begin with).
You have a few options that im aware of.
1 . If you want it pure CSS and "dynamic" (i.e. you dont know the width beforehand) you can set the table to display: inline-block and remove your float. This works in chrome, but you may have issues with IE, especially older versions.

2 . If you know the width then set an inner content div with that width, and margin:auto it.

3 . if you don't know the width, but your happy to use JS, then do the same as above, but calculate the width in JS (i use jQuery as its what im used to, but you could use raw JS)

I'm preparing the email html file for mailing. I'm using the table, tr, td tags. The whole content of my html so far is placed within a table, including another small table within one of the cells (see pictures below). I would like the whole table to display always in the center. I would also like the small table to display in the middle of the cell. The width of outer table it fixed.
I tried putting into CSS:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
and
margin: 0px auto;
, all of which I have found in here. The preview looks fine with either, the preview after uploading the file into mass mailing system works ok as well. But after sending, the centering does not display at all (the inner table also doesn't display at all in Gmail, only content of it). So I'm looking for the most common, most widely used html property, which would most likely display the table in the middle in every browser/mail client. OR, for the advice regarding the possible wrong usage of class properties.
My whole section:
<style>
table, th, td {
border-collapse: collapse;
font-family: Verdana, sant-serif;
}
th, td {
padding: 15px;
text-align: left;
}
.main {
width:1000px;
border: 5px solid #114889;
margin: 0px auto;
}
.inside {
width: 500px;
border: 1px dotted #0000CC;
background-color: #CCE5FF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
</style>
I am not a pro with the topic so I apologize for the use of wrong terminology.
Edit:
Display in Outlook. All is well but the left alignment:
Display in Gmail. No tables whatsoever:
Outlook only works with tables, so you're right to approach it from that angle. However, some Gmail environments do not even look at embedded CSS (CSS within <head> section). You'll need to 'inline' the CSS (https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/tools/css-inliner/).
To center a table in Outlook, use the attribute align on the <table> element like so: <table width="300" align="center"...>. You may also need to wrap it all with <center>...</center>, even though that tag is deprecated (yes, email is that old!).
You'll find in general Outlook will support the attributes - e.g. for border colours, <td bgcolor="#abcdef"...> - whereas others will support the inline style, e.g. <td style="background-color:#abcdef"...>. You should use both, and not rely on embedded CSS.
I can update more specifically if you need, after posting the affected HTML.
Try this one.
.parentTable {
position: relative;
}
.childTable {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
I'm trying to have a block-level input-append, where the input bar takes up all the space other than the button.
I got this working with a <button> or <span>, but once I switched the tag to an <input>, I started having styling issues again. However, the <input> tag is required.
I've include a Fiddle - HERE
I got it to work by doing this:
.input-append {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.add-on {
display: table-cell;
height: auto !important;
}
.input-bar {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
border-right-style: None;
}
.well{
padding-right: 58px;
}
I removed the nested selectors as you can't do that in regular CSS. (With Sass and LESS you can though).
I added "height: auto !important" to the ".add-on" selector. Although it's generally regarded not best practice to use "!important".
I added padding-right to the well of 58px which is the width of the GO! button, 39px, plus the well padding of 19px.
Edit: As #nicefinly pointed out, the height of the GO! button was still off. In Chrome I didn't see anything wrong, but in Firefox I could definitely see the height problem.
So, with all of his changes, I would also add that when modifying the well and add-on classes for example, this would change all the places where those standard Bootstrap classes are used and this is probably not want you want.
Instead, I would create separate classes for all of these custom classes so they work in this specific case and elsewhere it works as intended. For example, "add-on-button", "well-with-button", etc.
#CoderDave pointed me in the right direction with his suggestion - JSFiddle of #CoderDave's answer
However, I then noticed that the height was somewhat off. Instead, I set the button height manually - JSFiddle of my workaround
.input-append {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.add-on {
display: table-cell;
height: 30px !important;
}
.input-bar {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
border-right-style: None;
}
.well{
padding-right: 58px;
}
BUT THEN...
Testing in Chrome gave me strange results (not necessarily in the fiddle, but in my local environment). Therefore, instead of padding, I used the margin-left and margin-right where
margin-left = 17px on the input .add-on
and
margin-right = -55px on the .input-bar
However... After that, I noticed that the z-index was causing the .input-bar to block out the GO! button when the bar was in focus (i.e. I clicked into it).
Therefore, I set z-index
z-index: -1 for the well
z-index: 1 for the .input-bar
z-index: 2 for the .add-on
FINAL JSFIDDLE HERE!
This seems like a pretty hacky solution. If anyone has a better solution, please share.
I am trying to get a label to fill a table cell whilst having some sort of padding applied to the label.
I have tried a method I found through my searches but this does not seem to work... here is my CSS:
tr {
height: 1px;
}
td {
height:100%;
}
label {
background-color: #DCDCDC;
display: block;
font-weight:bold;
vertical-align:top;
text-align:right;
padding: 8px 5px 8px 8px;
margin: 1px 3px 1px 0px;
min-width: 120px;
min-height:100%;
height:auto !important;
height:100%;
}
Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated
From the given CSS it looks like there may be browser default padding on the table cells.
td {padding: 0;}
label {display: block; padding: 1em;}
seems to do the trick for me : http://jsfiddle.net/Fb7bS/
But a more complex table and/or inherited styles from elsewhere may add complications.
Hy,
I came over this problem long time ago. It seems that some sort of webbrowsers add a standard padding and margin to tables. How much they add, always depends on the webbrowser. But to overcome this problem you should consider the method of css reseting. What's that ? You simply add a .css file you include in your HTML Page which setts all margins/paddings and other formations done by default to zero. With this you avoid such problems.
There goes the link for CSS Reset: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
Well, in older browsers, a label cannot be set as a block level element. You could try placing a div within the label and transferring the label's styles to the div, and see if that fixes your issue.
Though also for height: 100% to work, the element must be absolutely positioned, and the parent element relatively positioned, but in some browsers table elements like td can't be relatively positioned, either. Also unless the td is meant to fill the entire length of the screen vertically, the height: 100% on both elements is unnecessary anyway.
I removed some of the "unnecessary" code and changed your format a bit here, though I'm not sure exactly what you wanted, so it might turn out to not be so unnecessary and that something else was just missing: http://jsfiddle.net/mGykJ/1/
Could you see if that's more like what you had in mind? Though if you could post your HTML, that would be helpful.
I am currently finishing a site that the client wants to work on all browsers. However, there seems to be a CSS issue which I can not get around. The border around this page seems to start from the middle of the page, as opposed to surrounding the entire page. It works on all other browsers though. I am guessing that it is a float problem, but the #contact-form underneath has basically the same CSS applied to it but the border still surrounds it, while the #info seems to have broken out of the border.
The webpage in question is http://lunaskymoda.co.uk/contact-us/
The only validation error is with an unregistered keyword "Nextgen", but i doubt that is the problem. I have spent an entire day tackling this and cannot seem to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why this is happening.
the CSS for the possible HTML elements producing the error are:
#main #main-content {
border: 1px solid white;
display: block;
margin: 12px 0;
background: black;
}
.contact #main-content .info {
margin: 10px;
width: 300px;
font-size: 14px;
color: white;
float: right;
display: block;
}
You're not the first one to have issues with ie6 :)
The problem is of course the "clear: both" of the clear class not being honoured, so you need to hack it.
Here's a possible approach:

You may also try to replace the <div class="clear"></div> by <br clear="all">.
I'm looking for a way to do something which in my opinion should be super simple, but I couldn't figure it out...
I want a graphical element on my web page which is exactly 1 pixel high, 100% wide and has a certain color, let's say red. It should look exactly the same in all browser and should preferably not break the semantics too much.
I don't want to use any images for this and I don't want to use more than one HTML element. Of course, I will not use JavaScript.
I tried the old classic which probably many of you know:
<div class="hr"></div>
<style ...>
.hr {
height: 1px;
background: red;
width: 100%;
font-size: 1px; /* IE 6 */
}
</style>
The problem with the above solution is that IE6 will render this as two or three pixels high, to fit the non-existing contents of the div.
Any ideas?
just do
.hr {
height: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #FF0000;
font-size: 1px;
}
I went through the same thing when I was new to CSS.
adding an overflow: hidden; style should fix it also.
I don't have IE6 handy to test, but an actual HR tag can work in modern browsers. Took me a couple of tries to realise you set the background color not the border color:
hr { width:75%; height:1px; background-color:#ebebeb; border:none; margin:1.5em auto; }
(adjust to suit)
I don't have IE6 to test this, but I remember it had to do something with the line height. Have you tried this?
line-height: 1px;
