HTML Table Formatting

[Guest_imported]

Hi
I'm constructing dynamically tables having data retrieved from back end database.Each record set from the db is contructed as a row in a table along with its field names,something like shown down below,my question is how to fix each cell size so that they remain in one straing line, though they belong to diff tables....? the width of the is 100 %

---------------------------------------
row-1 | row-1 | row-1 |
---------------------------------------
row-2 | row-2 | row-2 |
---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------
row-1 | row-1 | row-1 |
---------------------------------------
row-2 | row-2 | row-2 |
---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------
row-1 | row-1 | row-1 |
---------------------------------------
row-2 | row-2 | row-2 |
---------------------------------------

thanks

I presume you tired simply to dimension each cell, either with percentage or absolute values??
Or perhaps using a transparent image of the required size to specify either width or height??

Have to admit its something I have trouble with too!
Sorry not much help.

If those are seperate tables, you'll need to fix the cell width or take Enda's advice on a 1X1 transparent image then set the image size to the width you want. Either way, you'll have some typing to do.

Also it might be a good idea to download a WYSIWYG Table generator, usually they are available as plugins with HTML Editors.
You can try:

Hi shiva,

You can set the width and height of table rows cols like this:

<tr width=&quot;25%/px&quot; height=&quot;25%/px&quot;>
<td width=&quot;25%/px&quot; height=&quot;25%/px&quot;>

also you can you rowspan and colspan to make cells overlap:

for example:

<td colspan=&quot;3&quot;> makes a single cell three normal cols wide
(this means horizontally)

<td rowspan=&quot;3&quot;> makes a single cell three normal rows high
(this means vertically)

I hope this helps,

Everyone has a right to my opinion.
