Hi there :)
Sorry for the sort of confusing thread title, I was unsure as of what to call it.
I have a little problem concerning some webprogramming.
I am receiving 10 columns of data from a database and I want to insert these into some tables (if this is a bad way to do it, recommendations are gladly accepted!).
This is fairly straightforward. But my problem is that some of the information I get have very long date strings (Example: 07:29:04--04-01-2010) and this breaks the standard table that I have.
I read somewhere that using "width" is deprecated and instead I should use styles.
Can someone explain how exactly I do this?
Thanks in advance :)
Could always just embed the style.
Just copied a table example from W3 and put in the style command.
[code]
<table>
<tr>
<th style="width:200px;">Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Savings</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Peter</td>
<td>Griffin</td>
<td>$100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lois</td>
<td>Griffin</td>
<td>$150</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td>
<td>Swanson</td>
<td>$300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cleveland</td>
<td>Brown</td>
<td>$250</td>
</tr>
</table>[/code]
So the first table's width is modified by the embedded style. Just do
style="CSS goes here" and be sure to use the : and ;'s.
