I have this table1 inside of a span tag (span is inside of td tag)
the problem is that the row data of the Table1 is appearing outside of td ...the data should appear within the boundaries of td tag..right ? coz the span is contained within the td tag...how do I make sure that the width of span remains fixed..like it shouldn't display stuff outside of td tag which is its container
Firebug shows table1's width as 100%
[Edit]
ok I added display:block; in span tag first..didnt work...when I added the same in Table tag the columns of the Table shrank..ie spaces between col.s shrank and row data isn't anymore displaying outside of td's area
Now what I wanna ask is that if I set Table{display:block;} in the css file..how would it affect other tables ??I don't want other tables to get screwed up...Just want this one fixed..Also, the table is being created on runtime using Telerik's RadEditor so will display:block fix table's width and not let its rows' data flow outside td area??
<span>s are inline elements, like <a> and <img>, therefore they cannot accept rules like width:, height: and others.
To allow the <span> to accept these rules, add display: block; to the Span's CSS.
This will allow it to accept the width rule and fill up your TD.
That or just change your <span> to a <div>.
If that doesn't work, post your code and we'll take a closer look :)
A span is an inline element and so cannot have an explicit width set. What is in the span? If it's a continuous string then there is no way for the browser to know where to cut the string and make it wrap. If you don't want to see the excess content then you can set overflow:hidden on the element but that's not always a good idea. Perhaps post the code you are working with and we can provide more specific help.

I have a bunch of inputs in bootstrap that have input-group-addon tags as labels. On my page, I have labels of various lengths of text, but I want all the labels to be the same width for the visual effect. I'm trying to manually set the width of these span elements to the largest one I have on the page (for this example, say 75px).
Making my own CSS class doesn't do the trick, bootstrap overrides it somehow that I don't understand.
Making my own .input-group-addon.myClass CSS class doesn't work either. The browser shows that this isn't overridden by another style, but I don't see it actually effecting the span element.
Lastly, simply adding a style="width:75px" to the span doesn't work either.
I'm at a loss as to how I can ovveride this style to make all my span's line up regardless of text length.
Code example: http://www.bootply.com/SvJAiwVavY
I looked at your sample code. From Bootstrap, the .input-group-addon class has a display property set to table-cell, so there is no need to do anything other than set an appropriate width. If you set a width that is smaller than the contained text, it's not going to look like it has changed. Try changing your example code to the following:
.input-group-addon.test {
width: 200px !important;
}
You may want to change your text-align to something other than center, but that's up to you.
TL; DR: I'm looking for a way to display a SPAN element that can achieve the desired behavior showed in the 1st and 3rd pictures below.
Interactive Code: http://jsfiddle.net/53GZe/1/
When selecting text from a block of text, the display needs to be inline, so that no breaks are generated.
Now when I try to select multiple elements with the same display: inline: I get this:
Because the display is set to inline, it doesn't know how wide to make the <span> (the element inserted around the selection to give the custom highlight effect)
So, for the other case, when I set display to table-cell, I get this behavior:
Which is wonderful, and kind of neat. Except for that it doesn't work with an inline block of text like in my first example:
(notice the breaks before and after the selection)
Could you use jQuery to search the children of the highlighted div. Then if there are any blocked elements or line breaks, set the display property to table-cell.
Or by setting a new CSS rule for the situation, maybe again, by using jQuery to check for the inner elements?
.situation1 .highlighted { display:table-cell; }
.situation2 .highlighted { display:inline; }
I like to get my table behave like a block element. I cannot set it to width:100% because it does have some padding, this is going to result 100% + the paddings PX.
Check out: http://jsfiddle.net/LScqQ
Finally the table does what I want, can you see the box-shadow? But the table children don't like it that way^^
I guess the TH inside the THEAD are the problem.
They do not get the aspected ratio of 66% to 33%.
Help wanted...
Your table should be display: table. If you're worried about the sizing, use box-sizing: content-box.
The reason is that display: table creates the table layout mechanism the rows and columns need to be laid out; in certain conditions if the required elements aren't there, they will be implicitly created, but it can cause problems. (You can test that out by making a table layout with divs and setting them to display: table, table-row, table-cell, which are the default user agent styles for table, tr, and td elements. If you play around with unsetting the styles on the divs in different combinations, you'll see that sometimes the browser implicitly makes the table layout incorrectly.)
So, always leave the display: table-* styles intact if you want an actual table layout. Sort out your width issues using the appropriate styles for that. If you describe better what you want, maybe you can get a better answer.
Finally I found the answer by myself.
Put your table inside a wrapper container and write a CSS rule similar to this:
//HTML
<div class="wrapper-table">
<table>...</table>
</div>
//CSS
.wrapper-table > table
{
width: 100%;
}
Now the table will no longer overflow your layout and fits perfectly like most elements do.
I have a table that I'm styling with CSS. Yes I know, tables are bad and all that. I want the "grid" of TD's to all have the height of the row they are positioned in.
http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/1/
You'll see if they have varying content, they look all jumbled up! Would prefer not to use Javascript.
tables are not automatically bad. tables are perfect for displaying tabular data... even though that doesn't seem to be what you are doing.
move the style from the div to the table cell...check out my updated fiddle for some CSS changes. i think you could remove the divs from the markup now that they aren't being used for anything via CSS
http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/5/
All you have to do is give you tds a height, and then give the divs inside a height: 100%.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/2/
It's hard to understand your question. Maybe you can clarify - is this what you're looking for? Also notice how the overflowing text is in a scrollable div - more on that later.
Link: http://jsfiddle.net/ZFHUm/
If it is, it's as simple as adding the height CSS property. Also, it's always good to address the text overflow, especially in this manner, in case the text inside the table row (div) is larger than the div itself. Add these to the 'table td div' property to achieve the affect in the new fiddle:
height:200px;
/* or whatever height you'd like them to be */
overflow:auto;
/* makes all overflowing text have a scrollbar */
I am new to CSS, so please bear with me. I have this form which I'm trying to style. Everything works fine, except the confirmation label which is in a div. I want some space to be there between div.field, and while this works for all the input elements, it doesn't work for the label message which is at the bottom. I tried increasing margin-top, but to no avail. I would like that element to be positioned in the center.
Using the web-developer addon of Firefox, it shows me that the width and height of div.field of label tag specifically is 284px and 209px respectively. Why is this so, when I haven't set it that way?
You can view the code live at jsfiddle: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yMHJY/
The solution is simple, really. Add a margin-top to the parent of the label element, and add overflow: hidden to the div#contact div .field selector.
However, can I just say that the code can be rewritten for much better efficiency and semantic correctness. For instance, I would contain the last massage in a p tag and not a label in a div. Also, I would have each input element placed in an unordered list ul instead of divs. You also have a lot of unnecessary floats and the br at the end of each input is wholly uneeded. Oh, and unless you are embedding Calluna somehow, don't use it - stick to web safe fonts (and if you are, you still need to suggest an alternative, in the user's browser does not support it, and also to give the browser something to display while the font loads).
Edit
Fixed the load for ya, I should be paid for this kind of stuff :) Just stick to better HTML and CSS next time.

To center you could add a parent container
<div id="parent">
<label id="label">Your Message Has Been Sent</label>
</div>
div#parent {
text-align:center;
}
or add an id to your original parent div to target it with above css
with regards to the margin, you seem to have an issue with a float:left being set in the
div#contact div input[type=text] class. You need to clear this as it could be causing you margin problems. Try removing this and amending your styles. Why are you floating the inputs left?
