Q695 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I have some cells that will expand, or contract based on user choices, and I was wondering how to have it choose the height on it's own depending on the length required to bunch up all the cell data to be of that height. Think compact text. Does this make sense??? Can it be done in a TD??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 huh? Is this tabular data. Sounds like it would be a piece of cake with css. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q695 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 The bottom cell is needed to push the other cells upward. If this is a cakewalk, how can I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q695 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Is there a way to use a div tag as the vertical spacer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlevisuals Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 If you have margin-right:10px which will give a spacer maybe? Don't understand what you sort of data you have. Usually choose a fixed height bigger than the font, then add padding and width set to auto. e.g .cell { font-size: 14px; height: 20px; width: auto; padding: 2px; } or something like that If this isnt right, post the data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q695 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's being pulled from a database to allow a user to manipulate their own interfact to some degree, so that people can view it as more user friendly, because someone might want 1 section always open, and someone else might want all the sections always open.
