Table alignment within a frame

Howard_L · #1 19-Jul-2008, 01:17

...stays in the vertical-center of the frame no matter what I try.
I would like it to be at the top left corner.
What is the best approach?

I am using: Fedora/1.5.0.7-7.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.7

You didn't supply the example markup of the web page with the table so it is difficult to pinpoint the problem. I can however suggest you look at the style for the body tag of the document.

For example:

HTML Code:


<html>
	<head>
		<title>GIDForums Example: /t-18821.html</title>
		<style type="text/css">
			body { padding:0; margin:0; }		
		</style>

	</head>
	<body>
		<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" summary="">
			<tr>
				<td>
					<p>Margins, and paddings.</p>
				</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>

As far a s posting code goes...I didn't know where to start! This get confusing huh...

HTML Code:

<!-- Presently I am using  a .css file which is: -->
body
{
  margin:0;
  border:0;
  padding:0;
  background-color: 68bdc5;
  font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 11pt;
}

table_1
{
  vertical-align: top;
  background-color: ffffff;  <- This is having no effect
}

<!--  ...which I call with this in the page -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="book_style.css">

<!--  ...and fhe table is this: -->
        <form name='addform' action='proc_changes1.php' method='POST'>
        <table id='table_1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='1' >

<!--  ...I must say that I have gotten some result from placing an anchor at the bottom of the table: -->
          <a name='TL' />
        </table>

<!-- ...and using it in the frame call: -->
        <frame src="add1.php#TL"

<!-- ...which works for full page loads but not for a frame reload after the form submission  from the proc_changes1.php : -->
    <script type='text/javascript'>
      parent.list.location='list1.php';
      parent.add.location='add1.php#TD';
    </script>

<!-- ...actually the main.html may not be done correctly  , can this be done ? 
          I have frame set in frameset in frameset,, it seems to work OK: -->
<html>
  <frameset rows="10%,90%">
    <frame src="heading1.php" name="heading">
    <frameset cols="80%,20%">
      <frameset rows="*,90">
        <frame src="list1.php" name="list">
        <frame src="add1.php#TL"
              name="add"
              marginheight="0"
              marginwidth="0"
        >
      </frameset>
      <frame src="menu1.php">
    </frameset>
  </frameset>
<!-- as you can see, I tried something there in the frame directive as well .... all to no avail... woe is me......... -->

So, pretty confusing... I will put together a simple sample of the whole thing... Thanks again, back later (lots to do today)
beginning second set and the darn tables are at top left!!! what the heck... using php...
I'll keep adding stuff until I get the centered tables again...
Or could it be the browser is not really dumping everything on "clear private data' ?

...I think I found the problem. I had <br />'s within the table!
Here is the set of files. frame2.php is where the action is... try it out you own self and see the fun!

HTML Code:


<!-- ----  frames2.css  ----  -->
body
{
  margin:0;
  border:0;
  padding:0;
  background-color: 68bdc5;
  font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 11pt;
}

<!--  frames2_main.html  -->
<html>
  <frameset cols="75%,25%">
    <frameset rows=" * , 16% ">
      <frame src="frame1.php" name="frame1" >
      <frame src="frame2.php" name="frame2" >
    </frameset>
    <frame src="frame3.php" name="frame3" >
  </frameset>
</html>

<!--  frame1.php and use for frame3.ph  too 
      these go to top left of frame!!! NO Problem... -->
<html>
  <head>
    link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="frames2.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    frame1.php <br />
<?php
    echo "
      <table border='1'>
        <tr><td>cell1</td> <td>cell2</td> <td>cell3</td> <td>cell4</td> </tr>
      <table>
    ";
?>
  </body>
</html>

<!--  frame2.php  <br />'s within the table were fouling up top alignment -->
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="frames2.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    frame2.php <br />
<?php
    echo "
      <table border='1'>
        <tr>
          <td>Ref#</td> <td>Cat. pg/col</td> <td>Cat. #</td>
          <td>Type</td> <td>Title</td> <td>Price</td> <td>Qty</td>
        </tr>          <!-- I had a <br /> here -->
        <tr>
          <td><input name='ival1' type='text' size=5 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival2' type='text' size=5 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival3' type='text' size=5 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival4' type='text' size=5 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival5' type='text' size=35 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival6' type='text' size=7 /></td>
          <td><input name='ival7' type='text' size=7 /></td>
        </tr>          <!-- I had a <br /> here -->
      <table>            <!-- a <br /> here causes no harm -->    
      <input name='addsubmit' type='submit' value='send stuff '>
    ";
?>
  </body>
</html>

We'll see what happens now.... Let me know if you see other things I am running afoul on.
Thanks for the help! ; Howard++;
