AV1611 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I always wanted to create an "SPREADSHEET" looking display from queries returns. I created this using HTML/PHP/CSS. It does not contain any JS.A. I would like to know about the general asthetics of the displayB. I would like any suggesitons for improvements.Please keep in mind, this is created dynamically, as the post below shows.Things I don't know how to do (yet) would be:How to center text in an <input type="text"> cellUser Resizable CellsUser Resizable TableAbility to select specific cellsand the big one:It would be really cool if the ENTIRE contents of the cell would display in a popup/balloon when you hover (or perhaps click) over a cell.Here is the link:[a href=\"http://baptistrevival.com:8081/test/divtable.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://baptistrevival.com:8081/test/divtable.php[/a]Here is the code:[code]<style>table, tr, th, td {border-collapse: collapse;text-align:center;margin:0;padding:0;width: 100%;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, SunSans-Regular, sans-serif;}INPUT{ MARGIN:0PX; PADDING:0PX; font-family:TrebuchetMS; font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold; background-color:#ffffff; border-color:#C0C0C0; border-style:RIDGE; border-width:1px;}INPUT.label{ background-color:#e0e0e0; }body { scrollbar-base-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-arrow-color: #808080; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #c0c0c0; scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #c0c0c0; scrollbar-shadow-color: #c0c0c0; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff; background-color: #ffffff;}</style><body><?function col2str($a) { return ($a-->26?chr(($a/26+25)%26+ord('A')):'').chr($a%26+ord('A')); }$i=1;$n=1;?><div style="border : solid 1px #000000; background : #c0c0c0; color : #ff0000; padding : 1px; width : 770px; height : 400px; overflow : auto; "><table WIDTH="100%"><tr><TD><br/></TD><?phpwhile($i<9){ $colname = col2str($i); echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT class="label" SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE=" '.$colname.'" readonly></TD>'; $i++; }?></TR><?php$user="";$host="localhost";$password="";$database = "bible";mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);mysql_select_db($database);$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Bible where book like 'Genesis' order by `key`");while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo '<tr>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="3" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$n.'" class="label" readonly></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[0].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[1].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[2].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[3].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[4].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[5].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[6].'"></TD>'; echo '<TD WIDTH="10"><INPUT SIZE="10" TYPE="TEXT" VALUE="'.$row[7].'"></TD>'; echo '</tr>'; $n++; }?></table></div></body>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3657-need-a-critique-and-some-suggestions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javizy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Looks okay, maybe you could use some graphics to give it the look and feel of a program like Excel.You could use some js to allow resizing of cells and other features like that.

steviewdr Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi,Well all it seems that you have done is to output some data in table format with css - Nothing major new to me.If you are going to make a spreadsheet online application - then you are going to HAVE to use javascript. And for which there are many javascript spreadsheets out there you could easily use and integrate with php etc.For example a search in google for "javascript spreadsheet". The first result:[a href=\"http://www.blueshoes.org/en/javascript/spreadsheet/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.blueshoes.org/en/javascript/spreadsheet/[/a]Cells can be resized etc.Best of Luck,-steveP.S. if you want to know how to resize cells in javascript - look at the above one and study their code.

moberemk Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Why did you put the contents of the ENTIRE BIBLE on a demonstration page? It takes an eternity and a half to load! Put a limit statement in your query or something!
