ondi Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No matter what I do, I can't change the table width of the first cell using the width command. Everything i try comes up with error messages! :'( Any ideas anyone? Cheers <TABLE ALIGN= BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <TD>2</TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <TD>2</TD> <TD>4</TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <TD>3</TD> <TD>6</TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <TD>4</TD> <TD>8</TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <TD>5</TD> <TD>10</TD> </TR> </TABLE> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/137351-problems-with-table-width/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What exactly do you want to do ? is the code in html ? Or you are using echo in php ? You have a lot of syntax error. 1. table align is empty. put an align for it : e.g : align="center" 2. why there's backslash in here : <td table background=\"http://www if it is not being echo by php and it is only html, remove all te backslashes.

[email protected] Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Error messages? oO HTML isn't supposed to produce errors, it just looks at you weird. Uhm, fix your coding habits, they hurt my eyes. And how's this related to PHP?

ondi Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm using echo in php, and here's my code so that all the data i want is shown. Here's a snippet of my code: echo"<center> <TABLE ALIGN=center BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchright.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/comps/$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/bottomback.jpg\"> $data[time]<br> $data[type]<br> $data[opp]<br> HOME - $data[stadium]<br> Kick off: $data[clock]<br></TD> </TR> </TABLE> If you take a look at www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/test.php (ignore below the note) you can see what I have so far. If you view the whole of the background image you can see that they are far larger than what is shown on the page. I want the entire of the backround image to be shown.

asmith Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If you want the entire background to be shown you have to set width and height for your TDs. for example the "next match" image for your background is 150 x 69 , you gotta put width="150" height="69" for that td which this is its background. and do the same for your other backgrounds.

ondi Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Here's my entire code (bar the part under ignore, and my connection details) $range = 1; //how many games $get_matches = mysql_query(" SELECT O.OpponentName AS opp, O.OpponentID AS opp_id, M.MatchPlaceID AS place, M.MatchStadium AS stadium, MT.MatchTypeName AS type, DATE_FORMAT(M.MatchDateTime, '%W %d %b') AS time, DATE_FORMAT(M.MatchDateTime, '%H %i') AS clock FROM tplss_matches M, tplss_matchtypes MT, tplss_opponents O WHERE MatchDateTime > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AND MT.MatchTypeID = M.MatchTypeID AND O.OpponentID = M.MatchOpponent ORDER BY M.MatchDateTime LIMIT $range ", $connection) or die(mysql_error()); while($data = mysql_fetch_array($get_matches)) { //Check if it's home or away game if($data['place'] == 1) { echo"<center> <TABLE ALIGN=center BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\" ><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchright.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/comps/$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=center ALIGN=left> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/bottomback.jpg\"> $data[time]<br> $data[type]<br> $data[opp]<br> HOME - $data[stadium]<br> Kick off: $data[clock]<br></TD> </TR> </TABLE> The problem is only with the background image of my table cells. I'm trying to get the table to show the entire background image, but I can't get it to work.

phpian Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\" ><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <td table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchright.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/comps/$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> your code is messy but i would suggest starting by removing table attribute for the td elements: <td background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\" ><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <td background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchright.jpg\"><img src=\"/stats/comps/$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> and then set the width and height to the same size as the background images: <td background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchleft.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"69\"><img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> <td background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatchright.jpg\" width=\"101\" height=\"69\"><img src=\"/stats/comps/$data[opp_id].jpg\"></TD> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/137351-problems-with-table-width/#findComment-717665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
