I'm trying to implement a table with editable cells using an approach like this. The cell contains a label or span and also an input box, and I'm using a flag to decide which one to display via ng-show. But when the label is made visible, the cell expands vertically. It's subtle in that demo but you can see the second row moving down slightly.
How can I make it remain the same size, like the editable table rows in this example? I've looked at the styles in that example but I can't figure out how it's being done. The span for non-edit mode seems to have the dimensions as 'auto' but when the input form appears, it has explicit width/height - and they happen to be exactly the same.
PS. I'm open to the idea that the way I'm doing it isn't optimal, in which case any alternative suggestions would be great.
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<label ng-click="editing=true" ng-show="!editing">{{ mytext }}</label>
<input ng-blur="editing=false" ng-show="editing" ng-model="mytext" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<label>some more text</label>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I found out why the cells don't expand in the xeditable example that I linked to in my question - it's because there's an explicit size set in the css:
div[ng-controller] table tr td {
height: 45px;
/*text-align: center;*/
vertical-align: middle;
}
I didn't find this at first because I was looking in the css file that comes with the package, and I couldn't find any rules in there that would explain it. But it's actually defined in another css file for the demo page itself (https://vitalets.github.io/angular-xeditable/docs/css/docs.css).
i tried below code.
code1:
<table><tr>
<td><table>table1</table></td>
<td><table>table2</table></td>
</table>
It works fine, But after certain height introduces page break, which i want to avoid.So im trying below code,
Code2:
<div style="width:650px">
<table align="right" style="width:500px;">table1</table>
<table align="left" style="width:125px;">table2</table>
</div>
This is not working in outlook mail, Please can anybody suggest me How to make 2nd code work in outlook? or How to overcome pagebreak problem in first code?
Depending on your content and space, you can use floats or inline display:
<div style="width:650px">
<table style="display:inline-block;">table1</table>
<table style="float: left;">table2</table>
</div>

I want this layout where I have a rectangular box. And inside the box on the left there is a text and on the right there is an image. This looks fine in the browser, but when sent out as an html email, in outlook the float right doesn't seem to work. It puts the image in the next line under the text. Any ideas on how to make this work? (I am trying to avoid using tables.)
<div style="width: 100%;border-style:solid;overflow: hidden;">
<span style="float: left;">
<h3> Your appointment Details</h3>
</span>
<span style="float: right;">
<img src="someImage"/>
</span>
</div>
Very late to the conversation, but here is how to "float" in html email using align="" instead.
Example here
Also, if you are looking for resources on html email (I assume you are as the answer you marked correct is very general), here is a huge list of resources.
This is a really good guide from Mail Chimp on Coding for HTML Emails:
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-code-html-emails
Some basic tips:
Use tables for layout.
Set your widest table to be maximum of 600px wide.
Don't try and use JavaScript or Flash
Don't use CSS in a style tag as some mail clients will discard it.
Use inline CSS styles only.
Basically code your emails as if it was roughly 2003.
CampaignMonitor provide this rather brilliant guide to all CSS support across multiple email clients, which is also available as a pdf or xls download.
As the answers above say, email support for CSS is very limited, mostly due to Microsoft's descision to use Word as its html rendering engine.
Simple floating images can be like
<img src="yourimage" align="left" />
BUT that way you won't get solid results with padding between text and image, outlook removes margin and padding and your text will stick right next to the image. So try this:
<div style="text-align:justify;">
...a lot of text here untill you want to insert an image that floats left...
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" style="float: left;">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="yourimage" align="left" vspace="4" />
</td>
<td width="15"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
...a lot more text here until you need an image that floats right...
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right" style="float: right;">
<tr>
<td width="15"> </td>
<td>
<img src="yourimage" align="left" vspace="4" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
... a lot more text here...
</div>
You need to wrap a 'table' element around it to get the padding-margin effect to work in Gmail, Outlook (online), Microsoft Outlook (desktop client),...
Give the table an align=left or right attribute. (Edit answer here: in addition and fallback for other email clients also give the table a float value so do both. They are back-ups to each other. Some clients understand "float", others understand "align", some understand both,...) Your table will float in the text almost like an image does. The only difference is that in outlook a table generates an automatic line break in the text where an image with align left or right does not generate breaks.
For setting the margin, since we are now working with a table, add an extra "td" with a width="15" to the left or right of your image cell and a non-breaking-space in it. (or a transparant gif -> spacer.gif)
You better not leave cells empty because otherwise the width of your cell will not be respected in certain email clients
For top and bottom margin we can use the 'vspace' attribute, don't forget to give the image an align = left or right attribute. Otherwise the 'vspace' will not work.
I've found a way to apply float on Outlook.com.
Just capitalize the tag like Float:left.
<span style="Float:left;">Content to float</span>
Maybe you should use !important too;
I tested it and it worked.
check out https://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/ here it has listed what are all the things supported and not supported in email
Instead of float you can use an outer table and put contents you want to float left in left td of outer table.
this is not an elegant answer but I did it this way
When you are floating something to the right of something the right floating element should allways apear first in code. Like this:
<div style="width: 100%;border-style:solid;overflow: hidden;">
<img src="someImage" style="float: right;"/>

I have a really frustating problem im stuck with, I googled around a lot, maybe im searching for wrong phrases, but cant find a solution.
So i have table inside a div (a box), which is scrollable in the inside and the parent is also scrollable. The layout works fine with other tablets, but on ASUS Transformer i have the following problem:
If i scroll the body of the document and try to click on the link in the table (the table cells contain forms with hidden fields and a link) the clickable area moves. It seems like scrolling also moves the links, but the link labels, the hidden fields and the parent div stays in the correct position. It is only visibile due to the wrong position of the link outlines (and of course, that the links dont work if i click them after scrolling).
I was thinking about some weird margin collapse effect, but the elements inside are cleared, and overflow:auto is added to the parent. Maybe its some ASUS related bug?
The content is HTML5.
This is the part which fills the table with the links. WebView is used for displaying the content.
<div class="table_content_back" >
<div class="scrollable_content" >
<!-- BLOCK CONTENT STARTS HERE -->
<div class="table_content">
<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="table" >
<tr id="t_h">
<th class="ta_left t_header"><%= message("siteName")%></th>
</tr>
<i:foreach var="ListItem" index="i" list="${sites}">
<tr>
<td class="ta_left" id="site_list">
<form name="Site-${i}" >
<input type="hidden" name="actionid" value="SharePoint/Flow" />
<input type="hidden" name="flow" value="sitebrowser" />
<input type="hidden" name="sitename" value="${ListItem.title}" />
<input type="hidden" name="siteurl" value="${ListItem.url}" />
${ListItem.title}
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</i:foreach>
</table>
</div>
</div>

I have a client form which includes HTML served up from an iframe - I can't edit it. The only thing I can do is apply CSS edits.
I'm trying to apply a simple adjustment which would stack the <td>s in the form so
1. What is your age?
becomes
1.
What is your age?
If you right click the first question and Inspect Element you'll see the rather interesting DOM structure I get to work with. This example it looks like this:
<div id="Age" class="questionlabel">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<span class="questionnumber_questionlabel">1. </span>
</td>
<td>
<label class="required">What is your age?</label>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
When I inspect that <td> and add a display:table-row; it completely ignores me. This is in Chrome - I can replicate this DOM and get the CSS to do what I want in jsfiddle so I'm thinking there is a reset somewhere I can't see. I even tried display:table-row !important; to no avail. I can apply border:2px solid blue; no problem. I can apply display:none; no problem.
Any ideas as to what is going on here that would prevent this simple CSS param from working?
To re-iterate the ONLY thing I can do is apply CSS - No JavaScript and no HTML edits. Basically I pass in a CSS file in the url to the iFrame. That's all I get. Thanks!
EDIT: I apologize I had to remove the link to the example form on the live site.
Edit - screenshots had to be removed, but the solution is still valid.
Added this code to form-css.css, using Firebug. Beginning or end, it did not matter:
table#form_table div.questionlabel td {display: table-row !important;}
.questionnumber_questionlabel {margin: inherit!important;}
(Note: I reset that margin as the old one (-10px) was causing unsightly overlap.)
