hello

 

  hello, Im trying to do a break in my code that allows the seperation of table elements such as:

 

print "<table class='maintable'><tr class='headline'><td><center>Main Menu</center></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td>Civil</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='economics.php'>Economics</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='buildings.php'>Buildings</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='landuse.php'>Land Use</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='society.php'>Society</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='resources.php'>Resource Management</td></tr><br>";    

-- break here for seperation--

print "<tr class='mainrow'><td>Military</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='attack.php'>Attack</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='Espionage.php'>Espionage</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='units.php'>Units</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='officers.php'>Officers</a></td></tr>";
      print "<tr class='mainrow'><td><A href='history.php'>Attack History</a></td></tr>";
      print "</td></tr>";

 

There should be a break between the resource management and the military section.  I've tried to do a print "<br>"; and it pulls the entire table down.

 

Thanks for your help

Output a row with empty cell spanning all columns and height set in CSS?

This is why I hate table layouts. PHP + tables just don't go together.

I think outputting tables with PHP is easy enough, but this just isn't a good use of tables, as the data doesn't appear to be tabular data.

I don't see a single PHP variable or statement there except print.  Why don't you just exit PHP mode and just dump the HTML?  Unless that's a simplified example of something else.

You cannot add a newline (<br />) between two table rows. You should apply padding/margin to the required row(s) instead, eg change

print "<tr class='mainrow'><td>Military</a></td></tr>";

to

print "<tr class='mainrow header'><td>Military</a></td></tr>";

Now apply the following style in your CSS

tr.header {
  margin-top: 20px;
  padding: 0;
}
