Can table cell vertical alignment be defined via CSS?

In a table cell (ie, "td") is there a way to define "valign" via CSS, instead of the table cell proper?
In other words, instead of...
<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
...is it possible to do :
<table>
<tr>
<td class="top">
...and somehow let the stylesheet define the vertical alignment?
I'm asking because none of the attribute presets in Dreamweaver CS4 seem to provide for vertical alignment. Everything else on God's green earth seems to be there, but table cell vertical alignment seems to be the ONLY thing CSS forgot about.

How about giving the class "top": text-align:center. Or even the tag "td" in your stylesheet. Does that help?

Tables - Column vertical alignment

Good day for everybody,
I have a table with two columns. The first one has an inputText with 1 line. The second one has an inputText with 3 lines.
So the row height is calculated to fit the multiline object and, by default the inputText of the first line is bottom aligned.
I tried to change the first columns vertical alignment by setting the InlineStyle - vertical-align property (setting it to top or middle) but nothing happend.
So, the question is: How can I change the vertical alignment of the inputText of the first column so it is center or top aligned in its table cell? (Unfortunately I couldn't find this out by myself).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try nesting your text in a CellFormatted. You can also try nesting it with in a panelGroup. If you are attempting to algin you text with css there is some browser dependencies in play.

Table content vertical alignment issue in Dreamweaver cs4

Hello,
I can't figure this one out. I made a sample file (code below) to debug my problem.
I have a table inside a table. Both have no cell padding or spacing and top alignment, yet, the text appears to the top but there's a gap between the top of the cell and the text. Has anyone had that problem ? Same issue when I place a picture in the table, even if the pictute is 100px X 100px and the table size the same, there still is a gab between the picture and the top of the table ???
Many thanks,

Can grow and Vertical Alignment

Post Author: David Jones
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a report that has several cells in the Page Header section and they have the Can Grow option. I want to be able to align the cells in this row to the bottom and when any of the cells grow they stay aligned on the bottom. Does anyone know how to do this or if this is possible? Thanks!

Simply create different rows of headers in different "page header".
Right click on the place where "Page Header" is displayed. And click on insert a new section below. Now on the top of lower page header section draw a line. 1st page header section will grow with its contents, and second header row will slide down.

Vertical alignment

    <table> (I need this table to align vertically with the image.)
                 (vertical-align : middle   doesn't seen to do anything)

I've tried encasing the table in another div and set THAT element to vertically align.
What am I missing?

Vertical alignment in table cells not working in generated output

Using RH9 WebHelp. I have created a simple table style. Because I could not find out how to make cell vertical alignment (top, center, bottom) part of the style definition, I have been applying it manually to individual whole tables using the cell alignment properties.
This worked fine for a while, but at some point I noticed that even though the tables look right in Design view, with top-aligned cells contents, it gets hosed in generating output and all tables now come with vertically centred cell contents even through the in-line formatting for top alignment is still there in the code.
Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
I'm confused to where you applied the vertical alignment. Normally, I would set this for the table cells and not the table.
CSS has indeed an order in rendering: There is a point system for determining the CSS to apply. See http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-understanding-css-specific ity/ for a short introduction.
And as an extra to the point system, the place where the styling is present, also determines the styling. Browsers use the following hierarchy (in descending order)
User style sheet defined in the browser.
Inline styling.
Style block in page.
External style sheet
You can overwrite styling from a lower order using the !important declaration. You can use this to make sure that inline styling will not be able to overwrite styles from your style sheet. (Unless the inline styles use !important themselves.) Example:
table.mytable td {
vertical-align: middle !important;
This will make all the content of table cells in the table with the class mytable to be vertically centered.
Greet,
Willam

Losing table vertical alignment when converting ditamap to book

FrameMaker Version: 12.0.4.445 (latest, part of TCS5)
I have a structured project, where several XML files have been arranged into a ditamap.
For one of the XML files, I have a table, where I need to set Cell Vertical Alignment of the cells to MIDDLE.
So using Paragraph Designer > Table Cell, I change the entries from Top to Middle (The defaults were Top).
With the ditamap pane selected, I then go File menu >> Save Ditamap As
I save the ditamap as "Book 12.0 with fm components (*.book)" file type.
In the resulting book, the XML files are now .FM files.
However, at this point, when I open the .FM file that has the table, the cell styles have reverted to TOP.
I've searched high-and-low for a similar issue. This is looking like a bug to me, but can someone confirm?
Thanks

(Perhaps the moderator should move this to the FrameMaker Integration discussion (under RoboHelp).
I've determined the correct settings for my purposes, that being vertical alignment in a FM-to-RH integration project. I originally thought it was specifically a FrameMaker issue, though the solution also involves settings in RoboHelp. Here are my findings:
1. For the selected FM table, note its Table Tag in the Table Designer (e.g., FormatA). This will be used later.
2. If there is table Entry > Image element, then select the Image element, and set its placement attribute = inline.
Though inline is supposed to be the default, I found it necessary to state explicitly in order to control alignment of image within a RH table cell.
3. Moving on from FM, in the CSS file that you are using with your RH project, suppose that you have defined your table as follows. Note that I'm using "CenterMiddle" as the title.
table.CenterMiddle {
width: 100% ! important ; /* This forces the RH table to autofit the window */
text-align: Center;
font-family: "Adobe Garamond Pro";
border-left-style: Solid;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-left-color: #000000;
border-right-style: Solid;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-right-color: #000000;
border-top-style: Solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #000000;
border-bottom-style: Solid;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
.CenterMiddle td {
vertical-align: middle ! important ; /* This forces the individual cells to align vertically */
border-color: #000000;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
4. Go to the RH project to which the FM project is linked.
5. Go File menu > Project Settings.
6. In the FrameMaker Document group, click Edit.
7. Under FrameMaker Settings, locate the Table style that you noted in step (1), and set it to the name of your table from (3).
At this point, you can update all the FM components in your RH project, and compile the RH project to get the desired results. In my case, I needed both text and images in the table cells to have vertical alignment = middle.

I need a text field in a table cell to expand dynamically

When I say expand I mean the whole cell has to grow as the content is entered into it, not just have a scroll bar present to contain the content, every new line should expand the table cell vertically. I've been looking all over and I can't seem to figure this one out, help?

Turns out I just needed to search the forums better, here's a link to the thread with my solution:

Help: Jbo Exception non blocking when using table cell renderer?

Hi,
JClient 9.5.2.
When using Table Cell Renderer on an table cell attribute that is defined mandatory and activating the insert button, the (oracle.jbo.AttrValException) JBO-27014 exception is caught but it is not blocking and a new row is still inserted.
The JClient component demo, table attribute list, has the same behaviour.
You can add multiple rows even if not all required attributes have been documented.
Can a Swing specialist help me on this one?
Example of Table Cell Renderer:
public class TableBasicStatusRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column)
JLabel lb = new JLabel((String) StaticData.getStatusName(value)); // retrieves label from Map
return lb;
Regards
Frederic

Hi,
I found something interesting, it could be a WORKAROUND!
I noticed that in another detail panel with table layout the JBO exception was blocking and adding another row before completing the row was NOT possible.
In the create method of the entity object of the displayed View Object I iterate over the detail row iterator to retrieve a maximum value.
By the end of the method the pointer is positionned after the last row.
So I added to the detail panel that doesn't block following code:
In create method of detail Entity Object Impl (only one entity object involved for this View)
// Retrieve master EntityObjectImpl from association:
PostalTariffImpl postalTariffImpl = getPostalTariffAssoc();
// Retrieve detail default row iterator
RowIterator ri = postalTariffImpl.getPostalDetailGroupAssoc();
// Position pointer after last row
ri.last();
ri.next();
Question: Why does this solve the problem?
Regards
Frederic

Can't vertically center text within a table cell with a picture next to it

I have a table and each cell has a picture in it (which was "cut" from another part of the document and "pasted" into the cells). Next to it, I typed a few words. I want the words to be centered vertically within the cell. However, everytime I click on the vertical centering in the inspector, it moves the picture and the text remains at the very bottom of the cell. The text is "tied" to the picture. I've tried everything... highlighting the text, same thing. Can't figure it out!! Is there any way to do this without inserting text boxes??

Vertical align works on text within text boxes and within table cells.
I have just checked this using a table with:
*1st cell* Inline Picture with caption under. Cell sizes to fit
*2nd cell* Same as first, picture scaled down. Text and image centre vertically.
*3rd cell* Caption only, vertically centred.
It works and I have wrap turn off on the image, before I pasted it in.
On rereading the O.P.'s post it seems to be saying contradictory things. That the text is "tied to the picture" which is what you would expect of inline graphics and that the text is stuck in the bottom the cell.
Without a picture and a better description of the problem we are none the wiser.
I am just guessing but perhaps the O.P. has the image and Inline graphic on the same line and can't understand why the bottom of the text and the bottom of the image are aligned.
If this is the case it is a misunderstanding of what inline graphic means. The image acts just like a character in the text and sits on the text baseline, it is not an independent object.
It is possible to shift text next to the image or the image itself by selecting either and altering:
+Inspector > Text > More > Baseline Shift+
But frankly you would be better separating the 2 and putting the text in the cell to the left or right of the image.

Can you write vertically in the cell of a table, can you write vertically in the cell of a table

can you write vertically in the cell of a table, can you write vertical

If you don't understand that my response was a smiling echo of the stammering question I really can't help you.
I guess that my 36725 points prove that I may be helpful. It seems that at this time you don't really know what are helpful answers.
Using spreadsheets since more than twenty years, I know that storing something in an auxiliary object floating upon a cell isn't a serious workaround to the asked question. We may be sure that more or less soon, the object will no longer be were it was supposed to be.
At this time, if we want to put a vertical text in a cell it's safer to insert a character, a linefeed, a character, a linefeed … which, one more time is echoing the stammering question.

Can't find a lookup defined via Oracle Apps in the FND_LOOKUP_TYPES table

Hi,
i defined a lookup via Oracle Apps, but when i query for it in the FND_LOOKUP_TYPES table, it does not show up. Does something more needs to be done for the lookup definition to appear in the table?
Thanks,Smita

hi Hussein,
In Oracle Apps 11.5.10, I created a Manufacturing Lookup, then queried for it as follows:
select * from fnd_lookup_types where lookup_type = 'XXBREG_LABEL_PURPOSE'.
It returns 0 rows. Why is the table not acknowledging the lookup I defined via Oracle Apps?
thanks,

VERTICAL ALIGNMENT ON WORD TABLE IS MISS.

Hello everybody,
Can somebody clear my mind? I did the code below, and this generates a beautiful and clean table on word 2010. The problem is that the instruction “.Rows.Height = 8” and
“.Cells.VerticalAlignment = Word.WdCellVerticalAlignment.wdCellAlignVerticalCenter” seems
not work, besides, when I try to adjust the rows height and vertical alignment by myself, after routine generates the table of course, Word don´t allow me to do these adjustment by hand.
The property “.Rows.Height = 8” seems to be working, because when I change to “.Rows.Height = 25” the rows height really goes to it, also, there is no problem with horizontal alignment, this is work very fine.
Working with VS 2012 and Word 2010.
Tried everything, no result….
Thank you.

I am not able to understand the issue exactly. Can you set the height for the rows using Rows.Height? I made a quick test using VBA based on the code above, it works well for me. And I can also adjust by hand after run the code.

What effect did you want to achieve? Based on the code samlpe you were setting the verical alignment to bottom however the description are center. Both center and bottom for the vertical alignment works well for me.

Vertically-aligned tables shift down when entering/editing text within the table.

Hi all,
We have a sudden problem that is occurring, and I've done a lot of searching without finding anything close to this happening elsewhere.
If there is ever a table that is aligned vertically within a text frame, you cannot edit the text without having it shift down one line break for every letter you type, until it's bottom-aligned within the frame. You can then click "align center", and it will re-align itself. Then, if/when you need to change even one letter again inside the table, it will shift down one line.
We've tested it with two different docs on both Mac and PC, with the same problem. I've cleared my prefs on the Mac to see if that would make a difference, and it hasn't done anything.
Any thoughts here? I can't recall anything that would have changed since this started happening, but it won't leave us alone now!
Thanks!!

Very interesting. I do lots of tables but don't vertically justify so I have never run into this. However I can confirm this behavior on a new clean test page I made, using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) on Mac OS 10.6.6. I have no other problems with InDesign; it is running flawlessly. And no weird plug-ins or system hack software.
My test file uses my default font (Adobe Minion Pro) and the default table (Insert > Table).
It also shifts down when I delete a character in a cell. And the shift for me is more than one carriage return. I can get it back to center-aligned by top aligning and then choosing center align again.
