Table cell too wide - html

Please, either look at http://jsfiddle.net/mawg/pL9kd/ or stick the code below into your favourite HTML editor ...
Look to the right of OMG! Item 4 contains a *nested* array. (How) can I get that nested array (xyz) to be 2 columns wide, even if its content doesn't need so much space?
<table border="1" cellpsacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="">
<tr><th style="border-width:1" colspan="3">This is an array</th></tr>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>item 1</td>
<td>string ( 3 chars)</td>
<td>abc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>string ( 25 chars)</td>
<td>item 2 is indexed by zer0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>this equals seven</td>
<td>integer</td>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 4 is a nested array</td>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>string ( 24 chars)</td>
<td>item 4, offest 0's value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>OMG! Item 4 contains a *nested* array F5</td>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>xyz</td>
<td>string ( 7 chars)</td>
<td>xyz val</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 4, offest 2 is True</td>
<td>boolean</td>
<td>True</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>final item</td>
<td colspan="2">NULL</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</table>

Do you mean like this? http://jsfiddle.net/pL9kd/8/
(Width = 100%)

Check this you can use the width, to set to width='66%' which works since you know there are 3 columns and 2/3 is 66%. Also set the containing table to width='100%' since you are going to need all of the possible space.

From what I could find there is nothing like what your asking (or at least my interpretation of it). Could you not simply create a column width equaling two total columns?
So something like
<td width="40">xyz</td>
I could be way off but that's just my guess. Just curious, what is the implementation for this? I am sure you know css lists and other css elements are much more efficient at styling, correct?

How to xpath values in a dynamic table?

Get Elements from IE Table via VBScript

I'm having some problems getting the elements I need from a web page table. The example code from the table is:
<tr>
<td colspan="11" class="anscalls">Answered Calls</td>
</tr>
<tr class="daterow">
<td>01/01/2001</td>
<td colspan="10"> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="item">
<td>User 1</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="daterow">
<td>02/01/2001</td>
<td colspan="10"> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="changeditem">
<td>User 1</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="changeditem">
<td>User 2</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="daterow">
<td>03/01/2001</td>
<td colspan="10"> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="item">
<td>User 1</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="daterow">
<td>04/01/2001</td>
<td colspan="10"> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="changeditem">
<td>User 1</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="changeditem">
<td>User 2</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="changeditem">
<td>User 3</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
<tr class="daterow">
<td>05/01/2001</td>
<td colspan="10"> </td>
</tr>
<tr class="item">
<td>User 1</td>
<td>#</td>
</tr>
I'm able to get the information between the "changeditem" class, which is what I need, but I also need the information from the "daterow" class to go along with the "changeditem" information. I'm currently using the following code:
For j = 0 To (.Document.getElementsByClassName("changeditem").Length - 1)
MsgBox .Document.getElementsByClassName("changeditem").Item((j + 0)).InnerText & Chr(44) & _
.Document.getElementsByClassName("changeditem").Item((j + 1)).InnerText
j = j + 1
Next
Which Outputs:
User1,#
User2,#
User1,#
User2,#
User3,#
I would need to loop through the entire table, which is much bigger than shown, and get the "daterow" class relevant to the "changeditem" classes, which I cannot figure out how to do.
What I'm aiming to get is:
02/01/2001,User 1,#
02/01/2001,User 2,#
04/01/2001,User 1,#
04/01/2001,User 2,#
04/01/2001,User 3,#
Thanks in advance.
Not a VBScript answer, but jQuery exists specifically for this kind of DOM manipulation and is very widely used, so I'll suggest it anyway. Using jQuery you could do something like the following. I am by no means fluent in jQuery and this will not output the exact desired output, but it illustrates the idea. You could
do all of this with standard DOM methods, jQuery just makes it much easier.
<script>
$(function() {
// get a reference to all changeditem rows
var $changedItem = $('tr.changeditem');
// loop the results
$changedItem.each(function() {
// contents of first td in tr
console.log( $(this).children('td').first().text());
// if there is a sibling tr daterow, get a reference
var $dateRow = $(this).next('tr.daterow');
// contents of first td in tr
console.log( $dateRow.children('td').first().text());
});
});
</script>

HTML tables - How to use rowspan properly?

I want to create a table like:
T1----T2----T3
--------------
B1
A1 B2 C1
B3
I'm using the following code:
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>T1</th>
<th>T2</th>
<th>T3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">A1</td>
<tr>
<td>B1</td>
<tr>
<td>B2</td>
</tr>
<td>C1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/90yegr6f/
I have problems with C1. How to solve this?
You need to focus on doing things one row at a time. Deal with everything in the first row. Then start a new row and deal with everything in that.
So the first row contains A1, B1 and C1.
<tr>
<td>A1
<td>B1
<td>C1
The second row contains only B2
<tr>
<td>B2
and so on.
Now, you want the first and last cells of the first row to span multiple rows:
<tr>
<td rowspan=3>A1
<td>B1
<td rowspan=3>C1
Which gives you:
<table class=table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>T1
<th>T2
<th>T3
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3>A1
<td>B1
<td rowspan=3>C1
<tr>
<td>B2
<tr>
<td>B3

Two Table but different width

I want to make table header and table data. But facing problem with width on that two tables different.
Here is the example table :
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Class</td>
<td>Phone</td>
</tr>
</table>
and the data here :
<table>
<tr>
<td>John Reise</td>
<td>Math</td>
<td>123456789</td>
<tr>
<td>Michael Sweirzgez</td>
<td>Information Technology</td>
<td>012345678910</td>
<tr>
So when I try to run the code, it will like this :
Name | Class | Phone
John Reise | Math | 123456789
If I delete the data, width will fit with table header.
I make 2 table, 1 table header and 1 table data cause I want to marquee this data. So table header will keep stay in the top.
Maybe you better use thead and tbody tags?
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Class</td>
<td>Phone</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>John Reise</td>
<td>Math</td>
<td>123456789</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Michael Sweirzgez</td>
<td>Information Technology</td>
<td>012345678910</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You can use thead and tbody. Here are the simple examples:

A table row was 2 columns wide and exceeded the column count established by the first row (1)

I want to validate my page but w3c keeps giving me this warning. I want to get rid of it but I can't seem to find the cause of it.
It gives me this error:
A table row was 2 columns wide and exceeded the column count established by the first row (1).
Table and CSS code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Contact informatie</td>
<tr>
<td>Adres:</td>
<td>Jan van der Heydenstraat 61</td>
<tr>
<td>Postcode:</td>
<td>1223 BG</td>
<tr>
<td>Plaats:</td>
<td>Hilversum</td>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td>info#blabla.nl</td>
<tr>
<td>Telefoon:</td>
<td>06-31903706</td>
</tr>
</table>
table {
border:none;
padding-left:75px;}
td:first-child {
width:135px;
border:none;
text-align:left;}
td+td {
border:none;
text-align: left;}
Anyone any suggestions?
It means exactly what it says. One of the rows in your table has too many columns. Specifically, the first row has less columns that a subsequent row. But we can't do much unless you post some code.
Edit
The markup for the table is incorrect.
You only have one cell in the first row (or do what PeeHaa suggested)
You need to close off each row with </tr>
Just change this:
<tr>
<td>Contact informatie</td>
</tr>
To this:
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Contact informatie</td>
</tr>
YOu should always close you tablerows (tr): </tr>.
Final version:
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Contact informatie</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Adres:</td>
<td>Jan van der Heydenstraat 61</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Postcode:</td>
<td>1223 BG</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Plaats:</td>
<td>Hilversum</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td>info#vazcreations.nl</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Telefoon:</td>
<td>06-31903706</td>
</tr>
</table>
In extension to what SimpleCoder said, if you have the first row of a table have only one column, then the futher ones can have no more then one column. If you want to get around this you need to put a table inside the cell i.e.
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td><!-- Content here --></td>
</tr>
</table>
