HTML table column problem

[marklcfc]

This is the issue (the top bar isn't in line with what follows - its not far off but its not right)

Despite setting the % to the same as what follows, the problem is this scroller bar its affecting the width so whilst setting the % of the grey bar the same, it isn't working.

Grey bar:

<table><tr class=last><td width=5%></td><td width=15%>Date</td><td width=10%>Result</td><td width=25%>Against</td><td

width=25%>Competition</td><td width=6%>Start</td><td width=6%>Sub</td><td width=6%>Goals</td><td

width=17px></td></tr></table>[/CODE]

I even added that 17px td to the end to see if that would solve it, and it didn't. I used 17px as that is the width of the scroller.

Please can someone advise :)

If you use units like px in HTML it won't work (only use plain numbers or percentages), just change the value to 17. Only use units like px in CSS.

Also some browsers don't show anything if there's no content within some HTML, just try and add an   in there or something.

Changed to

<table><tr class=last><td width=5%> </td><td width=15%>Date</td><td width=10%>Result</td><td
width=25%>Against</td><td width=25%>Competition</td><td width=6%>Start</td><td width=6%>Sub</td><td
width=6%>Goals</td><td width=17> </td></tr></table>
[/CODE]

but the result is the same.

Why are you even building a grid via html in the first place? Use a datagrid instead and bind it to whatever your data source is.

Html and basic php is all I know.

From what little information you have given you have two tables there?

Table 1 - Grey bar

Table 2 - Results

Why not combine them into one table? Im guessing its a table reading from a database?

<table>
<tr class=last>
<td width=5%> </td><td width=15%>Date</td><td width=10%>Result</td><td
width=25%>Against</td><td width=25%>Competition</td><td width=6%>Start</td><td width=6%>Sub</td><td
width=6%>Goals</td><td width=17> </td>
</tr>
//end of grey bar and start of php loop
<tr>
<td><?=postition?></td><td><?=date?></td>
</tr>
</table>

I am just a novice, im sure someone will clean up what i wrote or you can work out what i mean i only dabble and learn when im bored and that was a year ago.

Yes I have two tables, mainly so I could keep the grey bar visible at the top whilst still being able to scroll down though the next table.

Google "scrollable table fixed heading" and you will find some tutorials, it will also fix your issue.
