I want to align a table data at the top. Example.
data-- I want to align this at top
text.... - this contains a lot of text that makes the first table data at the center
Like this:
klasdjlkasjdlsakjdlk
kldjaslkdjsadkjasldj
dlasjidlaskdjlaksjdl
asdasd ajsdlkasjdlaskjdlkas
laksjdlaksdjsalkdjak
adlksjdlasjdkasjdlka
I want it to be like this.
asdasd klasdjlkasjdlsakjdlk
kldjaslkdjsadkjasldj
dlasjidlaskdjlaksjdl
ajsdlkasjdlaskjdlkas
laksjdlaksdjsalkdjak
adlksjdlasjdkasjdlka
Any ideas?
Define in your css td vertical-align :top and text-align :left
td{vertical-align:top;text-align:left;}
without css
<td valign="top" align="left"> // here your data </td>
Is this just a standard HTML table?
<td valign="top">text</td>
Here is how to do it without CSS:
<table width="100" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
asdasd
</td>
<td>
klasdjlkasjdlsakjdlk
kldjaslkdjsadkjasldj
dlasjidlaskdjlaksjdl
ajsdlkasjdlaskjdlkas
laksjdlaksdjsalkdjak
adlksjdlasjdkasjdlka
</td>
</tr>
</table>
It is best to do this with CSS, rather than inline as you'll have more flexibility and your code will be leaner and easier to read.
If you only want to do it for particular cells, then consider using classes.
For inline (not recommended), use the following:
<td valign="top">...</td>
To use css, use the following in your stylesheet:
td { vertical-align: top; }

My problem is posted as "solved" here, but apparently I don't understand the solution (?). I have piles of legacy html that appears to be starting to fail in my browser, I dunno why, maybe because of "unsupported" attributes? (Extremely frustrating, by the way. Why eliminate these much simpler attributes that worked fine for decades? I don't give a frickin' rip what anyone thinks of my coding style, as long as it WORKS.)
In particular, I use and the valign doesn't work.
So I tried the following, with never a success:
<td align=center vertical-align:top>
<td text-align:center; vertical-align:top>
<td text-align:center; vertical-align:text-top>
<td vertical-align:text-top>
Now I'm only more frustrated. Any suggestions?
The vertical-align:top is not supposed to occur in the td tag itself. You have to put it in a style="" line or in the CSS rules for td.
Using style="":
<td align="center" style="vertical-align:top">
<td style="text-align:center; vertical-align:top">
<td style="text-align:center; vertical-align:text-top">
<td style="vertical-align:text-top">
For the CSS method, you will have to give a seperate class or id to each td in order for their styles to be different.
You can use valign= top not valign: top or vertical-align: top in your html markup and use vertical-align: top; in css
In your html you could do this
<td align=center valign=top>
In your css stylesheet
td{vertical-align: top;}
And in your inline-style
<td align=center style="vertical-align: top;">
Insted vertical-align:top use valign="top".
Here is your the code:
<td align="center" valign="top">
Note: Never use : in the HTML attributes so instead of using valign:top you should use valign="top"
I have the following:
<td id="refKey_1">1.0</td>
The numbers appear on the left hand side. Is there a way that I can make them appear in the middle of the cell ?
Hey you can do this
<td align="center" valign="middle" id="refKey_1">1.0</td>
-------------or
in css
td#refkey_1{
text-align:center;
}
With CSS, you could do
text-align:center
<td id="refKey_1" style="text-align:center;">1.0</td>
Or using css
tr td#refKey_1{ text-align:center }
<td align="center"> would be the easiest and quickest.
I have a table with 2 columns
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="menupage" >
...
...
</div>
</td>
<td align="center" >
<div id="contentpage" >
...
...
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I want to keep always in top not in center if the size of <div id="contentpage" > is big
You can use the CSS vertical-align property to align the TD contents to the TOP:
vertical-align:top;
See this working Fiddle Example!
e.g.,
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align:top;">
<div id="menupage">
...
</div>
</td>
<td align="center" style="vertical-align:top;">
<div id="contentpage" >
...
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
You probably are looking at valign or vertical-align.
<td align="center" valign="top">
<div id="contentpage">
</div>
</td>
See http://jsfiddle.net/nivas/Y84pS/
Note that valign is a deprecated attribute (so are align and border. See Index of Attributes for a complete list.). The recommended way to get these functionality is via CSS, using vertical-align, text-align and border.
The second table in my jsfiddle example uses CSS, and gets the same functionality.
If you're going to use tables then you might as well just use valign.
eg: <div id="menupage" valign="top">
If you want to use CSS you can use vertical-align.
You could set all td's in your stylesheet like so:
td {
vertical-align: top;
}
I've no idea of your experience etc so I won't go on, but you should avoid tables for layout. You'll save yourself a lot of downvotes and "don't use tables" comments.
I have normal table, nothing special about it, here it is:
live example : http://jsfiddle.net/fFENK/1/
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">January</td>
<td colspan="2">$10s0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$100 <br/>$100 <br/>$100 <br/> </td>
<td>$540</td>
</tr>
</table>
The problem here is the text that got automatically centered along, as you can see in the live example I gave before, the text "January" is in the middle of the cell and not at the top of the cell like it suppose to be. How do i fix it?
Set the vertical-align property of the cell.
Add some css to your code:
td {
vertical-align:top;
}
Add valign attribute to <td> node:
<td rowspan="2" valign="top">January</td>
You should apply this css to make it get to the top
td { vertical-align: top }
I'm trying to build a single row css table with multiple cells that has text that is vertically centered inside the cells. Basically the table behaviour I am trying to mimic with css is this:
<table width="100%" height="54" border="0" bgcolor="red">
<tr>
<td width="20%">text</td>
<td width="20%">text</td>
<td width="20%">text</td>
<td width="20%">text</td>
<td width="20%">text</td>
</tr>
</table>
So that my code is semantically correct I want to use divs to achieve the same effect.
<div class="job_wrapper">
<div class="info">
<div>01</div>
<div>Campaign 001</div>
<div>DEMO Client</div>
<div>128</div>
<div>449</div>
</div>
</div>
Problem is that the workaround for display:table-cell in IE involved using the float property which overrides the display value to block. hence I lose the vertical centering of text in a table cell.
Is there a workaround to display:table-cell in IE that still gives me the ability to center text vertically in IE?
Cheers
check out the style sheet from http://jogger.pl/404.
they have an interesting workaround in there.
