Cflloop, Tables and CSS

I have a web application that has an iframe (believe me it is necessary) split 69/30.  On the 30 portion of the page I have several tables that are stacked upon each other. 
All tables are designated with the following:
<table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="##c0504d">
Several of the tables are being hidden using the [id = #Varidable# style="display:none"] property.  The hidden tables are created by a <CFLOOP query=foo>.    Here is the problem the tables within the CFLOOP are not the same width as the tables outside of the CFLOOP.  The are just a tad wider. 
Here is a snippet of the actual code:
<CFOUTPUT>
     <table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="##c0504d">
          <TR>
               <th width="20%" align="Right">Risk:</th>
               <td width="80%" align="left">
                    #ThisTitle#
               </td>    
                                   </TR>
                                   <TR>
                                                  <th align="Right" valign="top">Risk Statement:</th>
                                                  <td align="left">
                                                                 #GetThisRiskInfo.RiskStatement#
                                                  </td>
                                   </TR>
                    </table>
                    <table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="##c0504d">
                                   <TR>
                                                  <td colspan="#zcount#">
                                                            <CFLOOP query="GetMission">#GetMission.CurrentRow#<BR>
                                                                           <CFIF GetMission.CurrentRow EQ 1>
                                                                                          <CFSET HideArray1 = "ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#">
                                                                           <CFELSE>
                                                                                          <CFSET HideArray1 = HideArray1 & ", ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#">
                                                                           </CFIF>
                                                            </CFLOOP>
                                                            <CFLOOP query="GetMission">
                                                                           <input type="radio" name="xMissionID" value="#GetMission.MissionID#" onClick="javascript:HideNShow('#HideArray1#', 'ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#')">#GetMission.MissionName# <CFIF #CurrentRow# NEQ #GetMission.RecordCount#> | </CFIF>
                                                            </CFLOOP>
                                                  </td>
            </TR>
                    </table>
<CFLOOP query="GetMission">
                         <table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="C0504D" id="ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#" style="display:none">
                                             <tr>
                                                            <td colspan="#ZCOUNT#" align="center">
                                                                           <strong>#GetMission.MissionName#</strong>
                                                            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
               <td>
... etc blah etc
               </td>
          </tr>
     </table>
</CFLOOP>
</CFOUTPUT>
What can I do to alleviate the problem with the table borders not aligning?
Thanks!

Sarcasm is not appreciated. 
The issue ended up being that additional data within the <table> tag.    I wrapped the table tag within the <CFLOOP> with a <div> and placed the ID and style tags in the div and the formatting issue went away.  So
<table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="C0504D" id="ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#" style="display:none">
became:
<div id="ShowMission#GetMission.MissionID#" style="display:none">
                    <table width="100%" border="3" borderColor="C0504D">

  • Templates tables and css ?

    It's been a couple years since I really worked on a new site.
    I have DW
    MX2004. My last site used templates which worked fine for me.
    Are
    templates still widely use...or has css design more or less
    replaced them ?
    Also...in css design...are tables used much anymore...and if
    not...can you
    do pretty much the same in css as you can in table layout ?
    Can anyone post a few links that discuss table vs. css deign,
    etc ?
    From a code/search engine stand point...is there a difference
    between divs
    and the table tag ?
    Thanks so much....

    > Are templates still widely use
    I use templates, CSS, and server-side includes on nearly
    every site I build.
    > Also...in css design...are tables used much anymore
    I use CSS and tables on some pages, when they work for what I
    need to do.
    > can you do pretty much the same in css as you can in
    table layout ?
    There are some things which are exceptionally easy to do with
    tables, that
    are exceptionally difficult to do with CSS. I believe that a
    pragmatic
    developer will keep both methods at the ready in their
    toolkit.
    > Can anyone post a few links that discuss table vs. css

    Please don't think of it this way. Think of it as the next

  • Image positioning with table and css?

    Hi please look at the following link to see my problem
    http://www.stefanlesik.com/csg/traditional-designs.htm.
    I am trying to position a list of photos with details of dimensions
    and reference number below each. I have set up a table with 2
    columns but I cannot position the images inside the cells
    correctly. I've also tried adding an image style to each with
    padding etc but this does not work. I'm sure there is a simple
    solution. Any other comments about the design of the site would
    also be very welcome. Thanks in advance

    You need to add valign="top" to your cells in that table.
    <td height="0" width="265" valign="top">
    Also your first image is wrapped in a <p> tag. The
    second is not. That is why you will see extra space at the top of
    the first one. You can also delete all of the height="0" that you
    have through out your code.

  • Trying to make sense of div tags and css

    i know that i am a few years late here, but i am looking ot make the migration from using tables and switching over to div tags and css. i have watched a few tutorials on you tube and am trying to understand everything.
    please tell me if this is correct.  a div tag is basically a table and css is what is used to style that div tag to meet your needs, is this a correct assumption??
    if you go to my current site www.tankinz.com you can clearly see that the site is made up of tables, basically these boxes or tables contain a different item or package that a customer can click on and buy.  by using div tags and css would each of these boxes, or tables be their own div?
    sorry for sounding a bit moronic but i am trying to make sense of all of this.
    please help!

    Markup (html) contains elements, such as html, body, h1, h2, p, span, div and so forth. Hence a <div>-tag is part of an element; the other part being the </div>-tag.
    The element structure of many web sites is basically (using HTML5 element names)
    html
         head
         body
              header
              nav
              aside
              article
              footer
    These elements can be positioned and styled using style rules (css). Depending on the style rules, the above structure can take on many different styles, without ever touching the markup.
    Have a look here for a simple two-column layout using the same structure as above http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/developing_with_web_standards/csslayout/2-col/

  • 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.

    Hi
    Are you using BI query? If yes then follow the steps -
    1. Take Sales org in rows of BI query. & take invoice type & Key figure in Columns.
    2. In VC use this query & drag chart from the output of this query.
    3. Right click on chart & go to 'Configure Element'. There select Chart Type as 'Bar chart'
    4. Below that you will get default option as clustered, there you select 'Stacked'
    5. Create Data series as per your requirement.
    6. Arrange proper layout of the model & then deploy.
    You will get required output in stacked format.

  • Problem regarding the creation of Table using CSS.

    Hi ,
    Here I have a Problem regarding the creation of Table using CSS.
    In My Application i have a table with multiple rows(Rows are Dynamically added to the table).First i am setting the table with the following properties:
    width:900px;
    height : auto,
    Overflow : visible,
    Max-height: : 200px.
    If I use above properties,I'm getting a table with 5 or 6 rows(height upto 200px).After that i am getting the Vertical ScrollBar.
    The problem is when a table has many columns, Vertical and Horizontal Scrolls are coming at the time of setting the table. The table height is not Increasing dynamically.
    How can i use "height" property in CSS? (I want the table height to be increased when the columns are more.)
    Thanks & Regards

  • Nested tables and alignment

    Hi!

    First thing you need to do is to make sure the page validates.  It makes no sense to chase a layout glitch on a page that has validation errors, you know?
    Go here - http://validator.w3.org and give it your url
    Meanwhile we can further study your code.

  • Looking for Table to CSS Converter

    I'm asking the Dreamweaver Community for HELP...
    I currently own CS3 of Dreamweaver and while there are some
    ways to convert tables to a css format manually.
    Is anyone using a software or a work-a-round to automate this
    process of converting TABLES to CSS automatically.
    For example i have DOZENS OF HTML pages that are loaded with
    Nested Tables... and all i want to do is run that HTML page through
    a TABLE to CSS converter.
    And then that’s it... you're done!... no tedious copy
    and pasting converting one table at a time.
    Does CS3 have something I’m missing that would remedy
    this or make Converting Tables to CSS more automated and not
    one-at-a-time converting?
    Thanks for any suggestions or links.

    A well built page with tables is infinitely more
    representative of your work
    than the train wreck that results when you convert tables to
    layers.
    Put a 5x5 table on the page, merge and split some of the
    cells, add some
    content to each cell, and convert to layers. Look at the
    incredible mess
    you have now in your code. Preview in a browser, and expand
    your text size
    in the browser. Look at the incredible mess you have in the
    browser.
    I think your approach is COMPLETELY wrong.

  • Documentation for FXML and CSS

    Where can I find documentation that lists all the different things you can do using FXML and CSS for JavaFX?
    For example, how am I supposed to know that I can do "-fx-font-size: 12px" for font size in CSS or "Font name='System' size='12.0' />" for FXML?

    CSS Styling
    Here is the css reference guide, which is an excellent start.
    Complement it by thoroughly studying caspian.css (the JavaFX 2.2. stylesheet) and modena.css (the JavaFX 8 stylesheet).
    There is also css styling info scattered throughout the Oracle JavaFX tutorials.
    Try using the material from the css reference guide to style some of the simple default controls, like buttons etc.
    Once you have the hang of that, move on to more complex things like graphs and tables.
    Don't forget tricks like overriding some of the default paint constants as it makes styling much easier if all you need is a color change, for example try the following stylesheet:
    .root { -fx-base: antiquewhite; }
    FXML Reference
    There is (and never will be) any such thing (as least not a complete one).
    FXML works by reflecting on classes.
    As you can add more classes to your classpath or modify existing classes, you can add more elements and attributes to fxml.
    Best current documentation of fxml is the Introduction to FXML as well as the FXML tutorials from Oracle.
    In terms of learning some of the more common elements and attributes for FXML for standard JavaFX controls, try loading up SceneBuilder and examining the FXML it generates.
    Also, as FXML is a reflection of the JavaFX Java API, you can get to know what attributes and elements it can use by looking at the standard JavaFX javadoc.
    All that said, I think the FXML documentation could be improved, so if, after you go through in detail studying the available information I provided in this post, you have concrete ideas for improvement of the documentation, feel free to file specific detailed requests in the JavaFX issue tracker, or send feedback to the JavaFX documentation team's email address: [email protected]

  • Visual aids on tables and divs

    It seem in dreamweaver cs6, my divs and tables had little dotted outlines around them, so i can see where they were. In CC those have vanished and there is a blue outline when I click on them. I found the doted outlines a great visual design aid, how do i get them back.

    I am a newbie, and am teaching myself how to create html e-mail. I, too cannot see table outlines. CSS is not an option for my application.
    I have a split view, code on the bottom and "site" on the top.
    I clicked insert > table and selected 1 row, one column, width 98%, thickness 0, padding 0, spacing 0, header none.
    Then, within that table I did the same thing but this time with 4 rows for the parts of the e-mail: planning header, content 1, content 2, footer
    I could not see table borders, so I read that you can make the borders 1 instead of 0 for the creation, and then go back and reset to 0 once done -- note this is live view.
    In follow on with this thread, I would prefer to see the outlines in design view -- the expanded table view I've seen discussed. But when I switch to design view, there is no table, even with the cursor placed within the table in the code:
    Pffffft - nothing's there. In either view, if I go to modify > table in either view, all the options are greyed out. And, if I right click I get a standard context menu with cut, copy, paste, etc.
    This is Dreamweaver 2014.1 -- what am I missing?

  • Can I Transform tables into CSS or other formats?

    Hi.
    I've got a big site that was created in GoLive. All the pages make  extensive use of tables due to the way GoLive worked its wysiwyg  layouts.
    I'm not a programmer but I did know how to create decent looking pages  that way. Now I've got DW and want to make changes to the pages. Now  these pages all look like tables and I can't just drag and drop to move  things around.
    Is there some way in DW to change all these tables into a form where I  can manipulated them easily? I'm just learning about CSS. Is that the  way to go?
    Of course any new pages I'll create with CSS, but I still need to work with lots of these older pages.
    Thanks.

  • Tables and text

    I'm sure the anwers to these questions are obvious but I
    can't seem to get it right:
    1. I have two tables on a page, one with 2 columns, the
    second one below with 3 columns. I have the same size paragraph
    text and font in each table, but when I view the page online, they
    are completely different sizes. Is this normal, and how do I make
    them the same?
    2. Some text is bold when viewed online, although not bold on
    my local file.
    3. I have some text outside the table, immediately below it,
    aligned left like the table. With my previous software (Adobe
    Pagemill) this wasn't a problem, but in DW the text moves around
    online, sometimes appearing underneath or alongside the table -
    although it looks OK when viewed locally.
    4. I tried to cure this by creating an extra row in the table
    to put this text in, but now there is huge gap above it and you
    have to scroll down massively past empty space to reach the text
    which has moved way down - ie: the bottom row of the table has
    expanded. It still looks OK when viewed locally.
    5. What is the equivalent of a placeholder in DW? The text
    mentioned above includes my e-mail address in a placeholder, which
    shows up OK online but is invisible at a local level.

    (Assuming DW CS3)
    For new pages, it does. For older pages, you can use the menu
    File->Convert->(select a DOCTYPE) to help. While you
    learn HTML, I
    suggest HTML 4.01 Transitional. Strict would be better if
    you're
    willing to commit to learning HTML and CSS.
    To be honest, Tim, I think that page is FUBAR. Consider
    rebuilding it
    from the gound up. Any attempt to convert that odd Pagemill
    code to
    legitimate HTML might cost more time/money than starting
    over. I gave
    it an honest effort, trying to use DW's clean up tools,
    conversion
    tools, etc. and got
    very frustrated. Starting over was much
    easier.
    Try creating a new page, then copy the text from the old page
    into
    Notepad (or, better, any non-Microsoft text editor), then
    copy/paste
    from there into DW's Design pane. Add the Bold <strong>
    as needed. Use
    header tags (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>) wisely, as a
    newspaper or magazine
    layout would. Do not use <hn> for emphasis. Try to
    avoid all those
    really old inline <font> tags and other 20th century
    technology.
    If you use an external style sheet, you can migrate the rest
    of the
    site over to the 21st century and, eventually, have a site
    that will be
    much easier to customize by simply changing the rules in the
    style
    sheet. Check out the source for any modern site and you
    should notice
    the difference.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 - layout tables and cells

    I just installed the new Studio CS3 on my Mac , and I have
    been trying to layout a new html page in Dreamweaver. I can draw
    tables, but not cells! I check the Dreamveaver CS3 help "About
    Layout Mode" thinking that this may be one of the functions that
    have changed in the new version, but apparently it has not. Also, I
    can not resize the div tags by draging the edges.
    Can anyone help me with some advise?
    Thank you.

    Layout Mode has been removed from the Insert bar because it
    produces
    such poor quality code. The best advice to you is to learn
    the basics of
    HTML and CSS. You'll then find Dreamweaver a lot easier to
    use.
