EagleAmerican Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Here's my add_parasite.php.. it is a parasite database and I need it to output all of the data in the MySQL table into a HTML data table. Right now all of the boxes on the table are the same width and height and I want them to be longer for the description and technical info and shorter for the rest. Please try to make it look good for me.. thanks!! <HTML> <HEAD> <META name="GENERATOR" content="WYSIWYG Web Builder from http://www.irishost.net "> <TITLE>ParasiteDB - Staff Area - New Parasite</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgcolor="#000080" text="#008000"> <IMG src="images/img00002.bmp" width="799" height="77" align="top" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:799px;height:77px;z-index:0"> <DIV style="position:absolute; left:259px; top:76px; width:291px; height:23px; z-index:1" align="center" valign="top"> <FONT style="FONT-SIZE:14pt" color="#FFFF80" face="Tahoma">Staff Area -> Add New Parasite</FONT></DIV> <DIV style="position:absolute; left:14px; top:73px; width:150px; height:31px; z-index:2" align="left" valign="top"> <?php echo 'Hello, <b>Staff</b>.'; ?></DIV> <DIV style="position:absolute; left:278px; top:132px; width:257px; height:91px; z-index:3" align="left" valign="top"> <?php if (isset($_GET['addparasite'])): // User wants to add a joke ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <label>Name:<br /> <textarea name="parasitename" rows="1" cols="50"> </textarea></label><br /> <label>From:<br /> <textarea name="parasitefrom" rows="1" cols="50"> </textarea></label><br /> <label>Genre:<br /> <textarea name="parasitegenre" rows="1" cols="50"> </textarea></label><br / <label>Description:<br /> <textarea name="parasitedescription" rows="5" cols="50"> </textarea></label><br /> <label>Technical Info:<br /> <textarea name="parasitetechinfo" rows="5" cols="50"> </textarea></label><br /> <input type="submit" value="Add" /> </form> <?php else: // Default page display $dbcnx = @mysql_connect('mysql3.freehostia.com', 'adaarm_db', 'ppk6g4fdsghd34468n'); if (!$dbcnx) { exit('<p>Unable to connect to the ' .

Barand Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Change your width values or remove them and let the browser scale the widths. PS There may be some clairvoyants out here who know exactly what widths you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleAmerican Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 It is the same with or without the widths. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 It is the same with or without the widths. Any other ideas? Since you're the only one who sees the information how could we possibly know what would be best? Experiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew-Portal Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Try instead of opening your width sections like <width='600'> Try something like creating a table to hold your entire website and all tables inside use a percentge to stay together! I am tired so dont blame me if my tables script is not right but I believe <table width="600" border="0"> <tr> <td><table width="80%" border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="80%" border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="80%" border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="80%" border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="80%" border="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
