LaLaLa Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Now I've got another question:How do I change the position of table on the page? I don't need to know how to change the stuff inside of it, but the entire table, itself... and again I'M NOT USING STLYES! It should be something like this: <html><body><table valign="bottom"><tr><td>Something in the table...</td></tr></body></html> Thanks,LaLaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula_dude Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Where do you want the table on the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLaLa Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Where do you want the table on the page?Well, I want to know how to put it anywhere on the page. There should just be some little word that you add in to the table element like <table valign="center-or-top-or-bottom">See what I mean? For some reason on all of my pages, the table says at the top, even though I thought it was automatically in the center. I'll include some of the code from a page (pull it up in its own box to look at it right): <html><head><title>Natural Impressions - Wildlife Illustrations & Hand Crafted Home Decor (Galleries)</title></head><body background="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page images/background.gif"onload="window.status='Natural Impressions - Wildlife Illustrations & Hand Crafted Home Decor(Galleries)';return true"><center><font face="arial" color="black" size="1"><br><br><br><table cellspacing="0" border="1" bordercolor="black" width="625" bgcolor="rgb(177,177,151)"><tr><td align="center"><br><br><br><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page images/green links small.bmp"alt="Natural Impressions..." border="0" usemap="#links"><map id="links" name="links"><area shape="rect" coords="1,1,111,38" alt="Button 1"href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/main.htm"><area shape="rect" coords="112,1,223,38" alt="Button 2"href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/artist's bio.htm"><area shape="rect" coords="224,1,334,38" alt="Button 3"href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/galleries.htm"><area shape="rect" coords="335,1,445,38" alt="Button 4"href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/studio.htm"><area shape="rect" coords="446,1,556,38" alt="Button 5"href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/commissions.htm"></map><br><br><font face="papyrus" color="rgb(51,51,0)" size="3"><i><b>Some text goes right here:</b></i><br><br><br><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/illustrations 1.htm"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page images/Illustrations.bmp"border="0" alt="Illustrations"></a><br><br><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page html/home decor.htm"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/naturalimpressionsart/green page images/Home Decor.bmp"border="0" alt="Home Decor"></a></font><br><br><br></td></tr></table><br><br><br></font></center></body></html>LaLaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Why dont you start a new topic?Anyway, if you want to center it horizontally, just add <center></center> around you table opening and closing tags.And I think you were right in saying about valign="middle or but not sure which center" in the table tag.

LOL! Can you tell me what the little blue squares [] are below our avvys? (I think it has something to do with how many posts you make...?)LaLaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Aligning something vertically means the parent element of the thing to align must have a bigger height. That is why it probably didn't work. If you put an empty table in an empty body and manually set the height of the body to 100% or a fixed value, and place the table with valign="middle" it should be center aligned (vertically). But if the table equals the height of its parent, or if its parent hasn't got a height specified, it cannot be aligned vertically So that is what you should check. I mean the first block-level element that embeds the table, your <center> element. Would it help if you gave that element a fixed height?Those little squares represent the rank the member has. Eg we could have "newbee", "member" and "advanced member". Each rank has its own number of squares, lets say the newbee has one, the member two and advanced member three. You are right that is has something to do with the post count. But this is not new at the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right that is has something to do with the post count. But this is not new at the forums I don't think that I quite understand what your saying... I tried putting height="100%" inside the center tag, body tag, and the table data [td] tag and valign="center" in the table tag, but it still didn't work. I can't put 100% height on the entire table, though, because I only want it to be as long as the stuff inside of it, that way it doesn't take up unnecessary room :)I've seen other advanced member with three blue squares [], and you have 3, so are you an advanced member? If you are or aren't, how did you get it to say all of the extra stuff [Dutch Xhtml & PHP programmer]? Even if I post 1 million posts, I can't ever get more than 2 squares? And, I'm going to make a new topic in the JavaScript forum about "If you can change the Windows Staus Bar [windows.staus=''] on an image map and on a hyper-link...LaLaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reportingsjr Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 valign="middle" will center the content inside of the table only, same with align="middle" (its not center, middle).There is no way to center it without styles.style="margin: auto;" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack McKalling Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have over one thousant posts, and I was able to change this "Custom member title" ages ago. But sure, if you reach some amount of posts, you will be named an Advanced Member. And you will be able to change that title, into whatever you want. But I am not sure if that comes with the same amount of posts when you become Advanced Member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 OK, but I don't care if it "Validates" or notThen that makes you part of the problem. Validation should be a goal of any web developer. The fact is that there is a valid way to do this, but you don't want to. So I have to ask, WHY don't you want to use styles? Is it because you don't want to learn CSS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaks for explaning, I was just wondering, but that table centering isn't working. Accoring to somebody else who just posted, you can't do it without styles...

Jack McKalling Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Please don't be upset. We just don't know anyone, everyone wants their site to validate. We don't know anyone who doesn't. The only one who would not want it to validate is the one that wants to learn CSS at a later time, or who doesn't want to learn it YET.So therefor we ask, why don't you like (to use) styles (yet) ?Please don't be upset, it is very logical a developer would want to have it validate. If it doesn't, the website goes against any standards that were defined by W3C. Of cource one is allowed to not use standards, but not wanting to use styles at all, means you are against them for whatever reason, or are determined to learn them just on a later point.

scott100 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Ok justsomewhatever , thank you for your point... But, can we focus on the topic on hand? Hey, at the end of the day it's your site, if you don't wan't it to validate then that's up to you, all we can do is advise you on best practises.Oh, Ok. Thaks for explaning, I was just wondering, but that table centering isn't working. Accoring to somebody else who just posted, you can't do it without styles...It is possible to position a table without styles, you just have to put the table inside another one, then on the parent table specify position attributes.<table width="100%" height="100%" border="1"><tr><td align="right" valign="bottom"> <table border="1"> <tr><td>Hello</td><td>Hi</td></tr> <tr><td>Goodbye</td><td>Bye</td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
