Html

Tis me again..... This time on the easy track of HTML

Rite... I have inserted a table ( the size of the page as you do!) and I want to place a VERTICAL line up on edge... I know the border command but this does the whole round of the frame

I'm looking for a way to only fill in the right hand side one..... Any ideas anyone?????

thank you

PS My sign has run away

Not sure what your trying to do but the options for the table are:

align - Aligns the table
bgcolor - Specifies the background colour of the table
border - specifies the width of the border
cellpadding - Specifies the space between the cell walls and contents
cellspacing - Specifies the space between cells
width - width of the table
rules - for how the borders will appear inside the table
frame - for how the border will appear outside the box

You can set the colour of the border using:

Bordercolor
Bordercolordark
Bordercolorlight

only MSIE recognises the dark and light ones.

Most of these can be used with the TR and TD fields as well.

<table width="50%" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" rules=rows frame=box>

^ this will create a table that is just rows

<table width="50%" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" rules=hsides frame=box>

^ will produce lines by removing the vertical sides

<table width="50%" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" rules=cols frame=box>

^ etc etc

<table width="50%" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" rules=cols frame=vsides>

^ produces something like your after I think?:

x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x

and it gets even more complex once you start using "rules=groups" which mean you can then use <colgroup> and other tags to cut it down.

I'll have a play tonight and try and create what your after but I hope I given you enuff to have a good stab at it yourself.

would it not be easier just to create a table in Wordand then save it has html???

Or is that cheating?

The Frog Meister · #4 12th December 2002, 05:35 PM

RipleyPillwall,.... That is not cheating.... that is playing with fire

The problem is all within the code and the way it is written... If you use an editor the result is REALLY shite!

I want to create a Vertical line.

the HR command gives a horizantal line.. I want to make a veritcal one....

Have a look at www.theraefamily.co.uk/samoreau

on the left is a quick list I want to put a line verticaly on the left..... does that make sense?

oh.. and the form command for a redirect please

Easy - set up a table width 95%, height 100% 2 columns 1 row.

Put in a transparent pixel 1pxl wide in the left column. set the column width to 1px and the background colour to black.

Valign the right column to the top and then drop in the next table to continue building up the page.

Hell !! I didn't realise you just wanted a vertical line :-/

Cheat and use a gif... create a 3x3 pixel black square (or other colour) then use the width and height tags to stretch it. The following tag works fine for a nice line. Increase height to make the line longer:

<img src=images/line.gif width=2 height=300>

Not sure what you mean by form redirects tho.

cheers fuggs and tiggs

for the forms redirect is when you arrive at an obsolete page and it redirects you to a new one

fugjostle · #8 13th December 2002, 10:41 AM

Okies.. but its not a form direct you want but a meta refresh. Something like this should work well:

<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="2;URL=http://www.newsite.com/index.htm">
<title>This page has moved</title>
</head>

<body>
<h3>This page has moved. If your browser does not automatically redirect you in a few seconds, click <a href="http://www.newsite.com/index.htm">here</a> to go to the new page.
</h3>
</body>
</html>

If you haven't guessed... "CONTENT="2;URL=http://www.newsite.com/index.htm" - the number is the number of seconds to wait before going to what is defined in the URL.
