Tables, Divs or both

I think i asked this question a long time ago but I am now getting around to finalizing my web site and I am not sure if a table in a div is a good idea.
I have a div for wrapper, header, navigation,mainbody and footer. All are in my template and the only editable region is the mainbody.
I could place a right div, left div and possibly a center div and have several divs in those 3 larger divs.
Or I could use tables as for some of my pages, I will be using photographs (of fitted kitchens).
I am thinking about having about 9 small thumbnail pictures on left side of page and each would change bigger picture on right of page.
I am thinking that when I do the maths, a table may be better even although it is in amongst divs.
Am I causing myself future grief or is this the correct way round it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my short story and I hope you can help me.
regards
Michael

The container of an element has no bearing on what events can be applied to that element.  So, you can definitely do this whether the thumbs are within a span, a paragraph, a table, or a div.
Hi Murray, me again.
Do I have to use Fireworks or similar programme in order to create a layout for this. Or is there a better way using dreamweaver.
Michael
Don't use Fireworks use something like jquery or php
I don't know how experienced you are with coding and css but search google for 'jquery image gallery' or 'jquery image gallery tutorial'
Heres one I pulled up as an example:

  • Table/div problem with IE

    I am building a 'planner' in a table and it looks okay in
    Firefox but not in IE. It's a work in progress but IE doesn't allow
    the table to align properly and help would be appreciated.
    Also, the table and left menu reside in a div (container2)
    which I set at 1900px width. Is there another way to determine its
    size or do I just add the components (menu plus centrebody).

    I'm not seeing the problem in IE7. Perhaps if you add the
    missing closing
    </div> tags and fix the other errors, it will help.
    Enter your URL into this page to see the errors:

    With the page as it is now, I don't think you need to specify
    the width at
    all. I didn't see any difference in FF when I deleted that
    line in your CSS,
    anyway.

  • Getting ORA-00903:invalid table name with both system and table owner

    Hi All,
    Oracle version 9.2
    I'm trying to retrieve some information from a few tables and import them to Excel. I haven't got much idea about ORACLE, but I'm not able to do anything.
    I open SQL PLus, and use CONNECT SYSTEM/[email protected] AS SYSDBA
    The console shows connected.
    I use select table_name,owner from dba_tables where owner='USER1';
    I can see the tables I want to access in the output.
    I do select * from USER1.TABLE1 and also tried with select * from TABLE1, both return ORA-00903:invalid table
    I also tried to connect with "CONNECT USER1/[email protected]" also shows connected, but then same error ORA-00903:invalid table
    Could anyone guide me so I can find out whats going on wrong??
    Thanks.. Best regards!

    Great! this worked! At least now I know I can read the data.
    Now I would like to get the data from this table into Excel 2007, but I can't install Office in the ORACLE server, so I have setup my client computer (Windows 2003 server with Excel 2007).
    I installed the ORACLE ODBC driver, and put the TNSName.ora file into the network admin folder.
    I successfully create the ODBC connector, and try connection is successfull. However, when I try to get the data, Excel send an error saying that it cannot list the tables!
    Anyway, any simple solution will do. If there is an easy way of making ORACLE create for example a CSV file with all the data from the table it will be good as well. What would be the easiest way?

  • Problem with DIV "clearing both"

    I am in the process of building a template for my website. I
    have built my Spry menu bar and have designated a div for to become
    my "editable area." This area to become the editable area is a DIV
    called "main content." It placed directly following the Spry menu
    bar. I have set a CSS rule for the "main content" div as: BOX =
    Float: left and Clear: both.
    Why is the content (text) for the "main content" div still
    jumping up along side my spry menu bar?
    See the page...
    http://www.birchwoodstudios.net/luke/bsweb/Birchwoodstudios.html
    Thanks so much in advance!
    Luke

    Luke, a few problems in your code, don't use spaces in CSS
    div names. Also
    you don't need to place float and clear inside the same
    division.
    Try this instead.

  • DW Beginner - Tables, Div Tags and CSS Confusion

    Hi,
    I am a beginner to DW. The layout I am designing is as follows:
    First I have an overall "container" on the outside of my layout which I called "wrapper" and I made it using a div tag.
    Next I made a table within or right after this "wrapper" div tag, which I called my "navbar".
    After this table I made another table named left and right column (r:1 cz:2).
    And lastly, another table, called "footer".
    Now, I made a CSS for the div tag, no problem. But, when I go to make CSS for the tables, that's where it gets confusing.
    For example, I went into my "navbar" table, selected on the "trail" <td>, and then tried to create a CSS for this particular table.
    Problem: Why when setting my font or background or any other setting, are the other 2 tables changing also if I only assigned this specific area for the CSS navbar table? Am I selecting the wrong "trail" or is it because it is still entrapped somehow in the "wrapper" div tag, so it won't allow my new CSS settings? I would appreciate any help. This can really get confusing fast, especially for us beginners trying to learn.
    Thanks,
    S

    Since you're new to DW, I'm assuming you're new to HTML and CSS, too.  So start by learning code basics first and you'll have a much easier time understanding DW.

  • PowerView - 1 Workbook; 2 Data Sources(one linked to SQL and one a table inside excel); Both have same data set but Counts are Different

    Hi Everyone,
    Hopefully someone might have an explanation for the difference in counts.
    Problem:
    Excel 2013 on Windows 7
    A Single excel spreadsheet with 2 data sources: 
    One created using "From Other Sources on the DATA tab which connects to SQL Server"
    Second data source the same data as item 1, but in a differnet worksheet tab inside the workbook
    [Sheet1] - Other SQL data Source
    [Sheet2] - Exact Same data as Sheet1 but in a table
    [PowerView] - 2 tables
    Table one uses Sheet1 as its table data source
    Table two uses Sheet2 as its table data source
    When you Count(Not Blank) using the same criteria and fields for each table, the numbers dont match.
    The one that has the incorrect count is when I use the Table data from [Sheet1] - which is the Other SQL Data Source
    Testing:
    I also created a standard pivot table using Excel and the counts then are both correct for both datasources.  So it must be something in PowerView????
    Any ideas anyone...

  • Table (div tags, extra tr td attributes) and Kadov styles

    I have an old old project to cleanup--the Kadov styles and an archaic (maybe from word import?) table formatting (hardcoded margins, nobreak) do not get replaced when I apply the paragraph styles from the .css or use the Table cell formatting to fix spacing...the HTML result contains both old format tags and new format tags, and the output looks like the old tags.
    Any quick fix ideas? Oddly my multi-level numbering works darn good! But the nested <span> tags everywhere are daunting!.

    Hi,
    You can clean up your project considerably by clicking Tools > Update DHTML effects in topics. This nifty function does more than it's name suggests. Make a backup of your project before you fun this.
    You can easily clean tables. Select the table and right click. Select 'Table style'. Check 'Clean Table Inline Formatting' and press OK.
    As for the multilevel lists, are you talking about RH's own Multilevel lists? These lists work quite well, although they aren't outputted as lists. The output is a little sloppy, but it works quite well. If you want 'real' multilevel lists, you need to use 'normal' lists and nest them. (Use the Increase Indent button for that.)
    If there is more formatting amiss, you can try a search and replace operation or a script. Beware that something like that can cripple your project in seconds. Always make a backup!

  • Two tables that have both "many-to-many" and "one-to-many" relationship

    i have the following two tables one represents the users and the other represents articles where each article can have one author(user) and of course the users can author many articles, so the relationship is one-to-many:-
    1. Users:-
    User_id (primary_key)
    User_name
    User_sex
    user_address
    2.Articiles:-
    Article_id
    Text
    Author_id (foreign key to the users.user_id)
    but the problem that i have faced is that on another requirement each articles can have multiple approval (users) before being published, so in this way the relation have became many-to-many, so i have created a third table named "approvals":-
    3.Approval:-
    approval_id (foreign key to the users.user_id)
    article_id (foreign key to the articles.article_id)
    level.
    so is this a good approach to flow , or there are another way that i can better build these tables.

    sb92075 wrote:
    approval_id (foreign key to the users.user_id) I am not clear on data element above.
    I thought USERS were really AUTHORS. yes the authors are users , and the author id is exactly the same as user id.
    and any user can be author if a flag in the users table is set to yes and he is involved in a workflow.
    so do authors approve their own articles? no
    do non-authors approve articles?
    What is "level" in APPROVAL table?
    What is PK for APPROVAL table? level indicates the workflow steps if there are multiple steps in the workflow ,for example the first approval is on level one, and the second approval is on level two,etc
    the primary key for the approval will be article_id and the user_id

  • Problem with Div and table

    I have a table that contains data parsed for a weather station page.  It also has a webcam picture on the page.  Up until now, the webcam pic has loaded via an applet but I want to change that to a jquery slideshow so it's accessible to more mobile devices.   My problem is that no matter what I do (aside from putting a 5x240 spacer) I can't get the table data to display below the webcam div (id="featured").  I've put the webcam and data table in their own div, the webcam's div in the table, used clear:both on the divs, tried setting block size, but it's like nothing is working.   So I'm back to go and thought I'd post it here since there are so many folks here who know more about this than me.  This is the html, right now with no CSS classes or anything added.  So whatever you would suggest as far as div and/or table layout and any CSS would be appreciated.

  • Can you check for data in one table or another but not both in one query?

    I have a situation where I need to link two tables together but the data may be in another (archive) table or different records are in both but I want the latest record from either table:
    ACCOUNT
    AccountID     Name   
    123               John Doe
    124               Jane Donaldson           
    125               Harold Douglas    
    MARKETER_ACCOUNT
    Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
    1001     123               10526          8/3/2008     9/27/2009
    1017     123               10987          9/28/2009     12/31/4712    (high date ~ which means currently with this marketer)
    1023     124               10541          12/03/2010     12/31/4712
    ARCHIVE
    Key     AccountID     Marketer    StartDate     EndDate
    1015     124               10526          8/3/2008     12/02/2010
    1033     125               10987         01/01/2011     01/31/2012  
    So my query needs to return the following:
    123     John Doe                        10526     8/3/2008     9/27/2009
    124     Jane Donaldson             10541     12/03/2010     12/31/4712     (this is the later of the two records for this account between archive and marketer_account tables)
    125     Harold Douglas               10987          01/01/2011     01/31/2012     (he is only in archive, so get this record)
    I'm unsure how to proceed in one query.  Note that I am reading in possibly multiple accounts at a time and returning a collection back to .net
    open CURSOR_ACCT
              select AccountID
              from
                     ACCOUNT A,
                     MARKETER_ACCOUNT M,
                     ARCHIVE R
               where A.AccountID = nvl((select max(M.EndDate) from Marketer_account M2
                                                    where M2.AccountID = A.AccountID),
                                                      (select max(R.EndDate) from Archive R2
                                                    where R2.AccountID = A.AccountID)
                   and upper(A.Name) like parameter || '%'
    <can you do a NVL like this?   probably not...   I want to be able to get the MAX record for that account off the MarketerACcount table OR the max record for that account off the Archive table, but not both>
    (parameter could be "DO", so I return all names starting with DO...)

    if I understand your description I would assume that for John Dow we would expect the second row from marketer_account  ("high date ~ which means currently with this marketer"). Here is a solution with analytic functions:
    drop table account;
    drop table marketer_account;
    drop table marketer_account_archive;
    create table account (
        id number
      , name varchar2(20)
    insert into account values (123, 'John Doe');
    insert into account values (124, 'Jane Donaldson');
    insert into account values (125, 'Harold Douglas');
    create table marketer_account (
        key number
      , AccountId number
      , MktKey number
      , FromDt date
      , ToDate date
    insert into marketer_account values (1001, 123, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('27.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
    insert into marketer_account values (1017, 123, 10987, to_date('28.09.2009', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
    insert into marketer_account values (1023, 124, 10541, to_date('03.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.12.4712', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
    create table marketer_account_archive (
        key number
      , AccountId number
      , MktKey number
      , FromDt date
      , ToDate date
    insert into marketer_account_archive values (1015, 124, 10526, to_date('03.08.2008', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('02.12.2010', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
    insert into marketer_account_archive values (1033, 125, 10987, to_date('01.01.2011', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), to_date('31.01.2012', 'dd.mm.yyyy'));
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
         , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
      from marketer_account
    union all
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
         , max(FromDt) over(partition by AccountId) max_FromDt
      from marketer_account_archive;
    with
    basedata as (
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
      from marketer_account
    union all
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
      from marketer_account_archive
    basedata_with_max_intervals as (
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate
         , row_number() over(partition by AccountId order by FromDt desc) FromDt_Rank
      from basedata
    filtered_basedata as (
    select key, AccountId, MktKey, FromDt, ToDate from basedata_with_max_intervals where FromDt_Rank = 1
    select a.id
         , a.name
         , b.MktKey
         , b.FromDt
         , b.ToDate
      from account a
      join filtered_basedata b
        on (a.id = b.AccountId)
    ID NAME                     MKTKEY FROMDT     TODATE
    123 John Doe                  10987 28.09.2009 31.12.4712
    124 Jane Donaldson            10541 03.12.2010 31.12.4712
    125 Harold Douglas            10987 01.01.2011 31.01.2012
    If your tables are big it could be necessary to do the filtering (according to your condition) in an early step (the first CTE).

  • Table containing both SC and PO number

    Hello experts,
    Can any one among you let me know the table consisiting of both Shopping cart and purchase order number in SRM.
    I appreciate your quick response, and be rewarded with desired points.
    regards,
    IGA.

    Hi,
    For Classic scenario,ou can pass the Line Item GUID (CRMD_ORDERADM_I) of the shopping cart to the table BBP_PDBEI ( field GUID) and get the PO details.
    All the SC details can be seen in table CRMD_ORDERADM_H(Header) and CRMD_ORDERADM_I(Item).
    You can also use the FM 's:
    Shopping Cart: BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.
    PO: BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL.
    IF you are on ECS,then the local PO and SC details can be found in the tables CRMD_ORDERADM_H(Header) and CRMD_ORDERADM_I(Item).
    BR,
    Disha.

  • Join two tables to query the difference of both

    Hi,
    I think my problem is not the hardest, but I don't find a solution.
    - i have two tables: t_old, t_new
    - both have the same attribute (item_nr)
    - t_new exists of some rows from t_old and some new rows
    I want to query only the new rows from t_new, that aren't in the table t_old.
    Who can help me please..???
    Regards,
    Steffen

    wrong forum, sorry, but i got it in another forum:
    select * from t_new n
    where not exists
    (select 1 from t_old o
    where n.item_nbr = o.item_nbr)
    (THX to Keith Jamieson)
    or
    select * from t_new
    minus
    select * from t_old
    (THX to Boneist)
