Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Stupid IE is mixing my tables together!
http://cwin.redirectme.net/kb/argh.php
In IE the search box gets bigger depending on the amount of text in the content frame. The table layout is like this... (see attachment)
In other browsers it works fine. Any way of getting around this? It has been happening quite a lot.
OOPS!
Forgot the attachment
More stuff....
I stripped it down to the basic table, still has a problem

http://www.cwin.redirectme.net/****/2.php
In the second one, all i did was type a few <p> </p> into it a few times... and the white box grew
but it works fine in mozilla

Looks like you are changing the size of the row since there is a table inside the cell in the same row.
I am not changing the size of anything... look at the source of the two links...., all i did was put some returns in the yellow box, and the white box got bigger. They are not even in the same cell. I have had it happen across tables too... 2 different tables would change sizes...

Look at your code. You are changing the size. Of one of the cells in the same row.
nope... there is an individual table... i am not changing the size of the cell. :t
And if you dont believe me, take it into dreamweaver or something and see there.... also, why does it work as i intend it to in every other browser except internet explorer?

Start of first table<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
Start of row<tr>
start of cell <td width="250" height="30" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
This is a cell. It should only be<br>
30px vertical & 250px across </td>end of cell
start of cell<td rowspan="2" bgcolor="#0033FF" id="content">
placement of table into cell<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
start of row in inside table<tr>
cell in first row of inside table<td bgcolor="#FFFF00"><p>This is a table. It's size should not change the size of the white cell</p></td>End of cell in first row of inside table
</tr>end of row in insidetable
</table>End of inside table
</td>end of cell in main table
</tr>end of row of main table
<tr>
<td width="250" bgcolor="#0000CC">This is a frame </td>
</tr>
</table>

Yuck, table layout :p Since you're using an external stylesheet anyway, might as well go for a CSS layout instead.

Cwin, from what I see that you are trying to complete I would agree CSS layout would be ALOT easier.

Hey!
I guess from your writing that you want to make a
backbone for a weblayout here, and I'm wondering...
why dont you use IFRAME instead?
Mutch easier, nicer, cooler and everything?
Take a look at :
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/frames/inlineframes.html
for a little tutorial, and if you need help, just give me a
PM, and I'll do what I can.
Later
Gobi.

Yeah, good ol iFrames. They've been supported since Internet Explorer 3, if I remember correctly? If you don't know what they are, well think of those licence agreements (which most people don't read) they float over the page. I remember I asked my Mum "I don't understand this, umm... licenece agreement mum!" when I was installing a game. My Mum came over, and just said "Ah, just skip it, click Yes." I frowned, and just did what she told me. Of course, when you're young you tend to get curious so I went back to read it in whole. Eventually I understood it!
Sorry for going off-topic!

Blashpemer!:eek: :)
I had a photo website that had tables in tables in tables to get a decent layout, lots of nested HTML. I was able to reduce it to about 10 lines of CSS after a little research. I don't have a single <TABLE> tag anymore.
...another successful convert!

hmm.. i like css, but i only use it for the basic stuff (links, active,hover,background,text,etc) I didnt know it could format tables.
[Edit] After reading some of his page I realized that I had used that before... didnt realize <div> tags were CSS headers :(
