HTML table problem

Anon

hi everyone, who is taking a look at this post. This post is only indirectly about a PHP coding Problem.

I have createt a table in html. The source:

------------ Code ----------

<table width="500" "border="1">
<tr>
<td><img src="px_white.gif" width="130" height="10" /></td>
<td><img src="px_white.gif" width="240" height="10" /></td>
<td><img src="px_white.gif" width="130" height="10" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsdajhgdfkjashkdhfkashdflasjdfhbaskdhfask<hhddda/td>
<td>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</td>
<td>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</td>
</tr>
</table>

------------- Code end ---------

I wanted that table to be exactly 500 pixels of width. But the stupid html (or my programming), always makes the table data as width as the text in it is and not like i assigned in in the first row. So the first colum should be 130 the sekond 240 and the thir 130 agin.

How cann i fix that problem, so that the colums are exactly as width as i defined it ? I thought it works like the code i have weritten, but it does not. Even in Internet Explorer 🙂.

Thanks in advance for the answer of this special not 100 %ly PHP related Question.

change <TD> for <TD width=500> the only problem then is if anything is wider than 500 with no spaces.

Hi Ali

should actually be

then for the lower TD\'s you can try out the same pixel values as for the images..i.e

<td width=130>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsdajhgdfkjashkdhfkashdflasjdfhbaskdhfask</td>
<td width=240>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</td>
<td width=130>hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</td>

i think so this should work for you

i am pretty familiar with html, but it does not work. and the /> which end the img tag is an XHTML Tag. That means every tag which should not be closed like <br> and <img> should be written like <br/> or <img/>.

Does anyone know another answer to my question ?

Because the text is all one word, it cannot make the line breaks. That's the problem.

you can parse the line and break it if it exceeds a certain limit - the wordwarp function may help:
