HTML Formatting

hi guys.

 

ive got the following code which is giving all the right ouput and everything, except for the data cells width.  im getting a table about 8th of the size i wanted, but its not useing the width percentages

 

is it with my code, or with the html

 

thanks

 

 

while ($Att_rows = mysqli_fetch_array($curr_page_query)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Rank']."</d> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Resource_1']."</td> ";
echo "<td width = '%55'>".$Att_rows['User_Name']."</td> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Points']."</td> ";
echo "</tr>";
}

[only one]

is the table width on 100%?

[.josh]

you have </d> instead of </td>

 

moving to html forum.

stilll not working:

 

code as it stands is

 

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width = '%15'>  RANK  </td> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>  RESOURCES  </td> ";
echo "<td width = '%55'>  USER NAME  </td> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>  POINTS  </td> ";
echo "</tr>";

while ($Att_rows = mysqli_fetch_array($curr_page_query)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Rank']."</td> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Resource_1']."</td> ";
echo "<td width = '%55'>".$Att_rows['User_Name']."</td> ";
echo "<td width = '%15'>".$Att_rows['Points']."</td> ";
echo "</tr>";
}

 

 

 

 

the   are for spacing of the titles, but dont do much for the acutual table width

[Tyche]

% signs come after the value not before  on a width attribute

 

use

<td width = '15%'>

etc

Yeah when defining widths as percentages the percent sign goes after the number not before as Tyche says. Also there is no need to define every cells width on each row. Just define the widths for the cells on the first row only. SO this is should be your code now:

echo '<tr>';
echo '<th width="15%">  RANK  </th>';
echo '<th width="15%">  RESOURCES  </th>';
echo '<th width="55%">  USER NAME  </th>';
echo '<th width="15%">  POINTS  </th>';
echo '</tr>';

while ($Att_rows = mysqli_fetch_array($curr_page_query)) {
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $Att_rows['Rank'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $Att_rows['Resource_1'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $Att_rows['User_Name'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $Att_rows['Points'] . '</td>';
    echo '</tr>';
}
