PHP column widths not setting right.

PHP column widths not setting right.

am 19.09.2007 23:06:40 von mattcushing

Can anyone tell me why I can't set the column widths? The message
field is huge, so the rest of the columns are fairly cramped and word
wrapped. I'd really like to be able to set my columns so that the
last column takes up less, and wraps more.

Any ideas?

thanks,
M@








include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';

$query = "SELECT t.ticket_id, t.subject, t.message, s.staff_name
FROM hdp_tickets t, hdp_staff s
where s.staff_id = t.assigned_to";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
?>






}
?>
Ticket
 Assigned To

Why don't your widths add up to 100%?

This isn't a PHP problem - it's an HTML one. PHP doesn't control column
widths - HTML does. All you're doing is writing HTML code. Try alt.html.

And look at the sums of your widths...

This is an HTML/CSS problem, not php. I suggest you make a sample html
document and stylesheet with static data typical of your values. Then you
can experiment with the markup and styling without the complication of the
php. WIDTH as an attribute of TD is deprecated and in particular,
percentages within TABLE have be treated differently by different browsers
in the past (and perhaps still are). Just about all of this is invalid in
XHTML 1.1, so much will depend on the doctype you are declaring and your
stylesheet.
