I want to divide my page into two sections. It must be separated by a slider. In the left-pane, I want to display Form names and on the right-pane, I want to show the Form that was selected from the left-pane.
Which controls to use?
Maybe you're looking for Coda Slider?
Are you thinking about using a frameset (* shudder *)?
I know you don't have the jQuery tag, or even javascript for that matter, but this jQuery Splitter Plugin may do the trick... I'm sure you can expand the content to fit the page.

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 seems dissimilar to the accordion functionality provided by bootstrap.
To give an example, let's take the "how to format" info starting me in the face right now. I'd want it so that it only displays up to X pixels deep, and then stops until expanded. So it might look like:
and then, once expanded,
I happen to be using bootstrap. Is there a bootstrap native or other HTML solution to create this kind of experience?
Assume that the thing that I only want to show of is a single element, such as an image, rather than a series of text. This means a solution like min-height:50px and overflow:hidden won't work, as it will simply hide the entire image rather than part of it.
We can use jQuery .height() to accomplish knowing the rendered height of an element then making conditional modifications.
Documentation and examples for jQuery .height().
A combination of height and overflow in combination with the toggling of a class should work here.

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 have a bunch of elements (divs) and they represent items. I can delete them by clicking a link and its done through ajax. I had the divs store the value in id however it appears that even though it does work the standard says id names must start with a letter. So i could start it with a letter and remove it when i use ajax or i can store the value another way.
What are ways i can store values in html? I don't think inputs are legal outside of forms but i am rethinking what are good ways to store values.
Best way is to use the new HTML 5 spec to store data in the data-[name] in the div elements
ie
<div data-yourfield="value">
Text
</div>
Then using jQuery find the divs with the selector (reference http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/)
div[data-yourField=""]
You can store it as text inside the div if you like. You also can use inputs, just add the form tag around everything. Just because it's a form doesn't mean it has to "submit". Inputs or textboxes would probably be the best way to store them actually.
I would like to know if there is anyway I can divide an item on two line inside a select box.
One of the values of my select box is two long to fit in my div.
No, this is impossible.
You can consider using a javascript widget, like this jQuery plug-in.
May I also say that what you are trying to do is uncommon - even in desktop applications users don't expect to find wrapped text in a drop-down box and may get confused if they do see one. It would be better to try a different control or try to limit the text.
It is impossible, but if it's simply a matter of avoiding that the element gets too wide you could just define a width (eg. <select style="width:100px;">). This will cause text to be cut off when the box is "closed", but as soon as you "open" it the entire text will be shown.
As far as I know, it's impossible. However, I'd look at jQuery for options. Specifically, there are jQuery plugins that allow for select box customization.
Select Box Factory 2.0 is one option. I believe it extends the functionality of the select box to allow text wrapping among other features.
You could simple add an option disabled in blank
<option disabled selected value> </option>
Divide an item that's on two lines in a select box.
Why would you want to do that? If you're using a JQuery plugin to make HTML display inside an option tag, then there would be no reason to ask this question, I don't think, as you would be already able to add a tag.
What you can do to make spacing in select elements, is to create a blank option tag, that has an empty value and name. You would then have to validate the submission to detect if a blank value was submitted.
If you are really in need, a hacky solution would be to take a screenshot of the text on two lines, and use images in your select box.

Just be sure to set the alt tag on the images for accessibility.
