inserting an html table help-Anyone Anyone?
I was trying to insert the latest Gallup Poll results http://www.gallup.com/poll/releases/pr040115.asp in a forum and I just couldn't do it without tons of white space showing up as a result
the html looks something like this <B>SUMMARY TABLE: PARTY HANDLING OF ISSUES OR PROBLEMS </B><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=2 WIDTH=90% align=center><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=24><B><I>2004 Jan 9-11<BR> (sorted by "advantage")</B></I></TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=24><B><P ALIGN="CENTER">Republican Party</B></TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=24> <B><P ALIGN="CENTER">Democratic Party</B></TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=24><B><P ALIGN="CENTER">Republican<BR>Advantage/ Disadvantage</B></TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=17><P></P></TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">%</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">%</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">%</TD> </TR><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P>Terrorism</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">60</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">30</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">+30</TD> </TR><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P>The situation in Iraq</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">53</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">37</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">+16</TD> </TR><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P>Foreign affairs</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">51</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">40</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">+11</TD></TR><TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P>Gun policy</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">48</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">39</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">+9</TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P>The economy</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">44</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">48</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">-4</TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P>Taxes</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">44</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">48</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">-4</TD></TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P>Education</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">41</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">50</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">-9</TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P>The federal budget deficit</TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">39</TD><TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">49</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">-10</TD></TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P>Healthcare policy</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">34</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">55</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">-21</TD> </TR> <TR><TD WIDTH="51%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P>The environment </TD><TD WIDTH="17%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">35</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17> <P ALIGN="CENTER">57</TD> <TD WIDTH="16%" VALIGN="BOTTOM" HEIGHT=17><P ALIGN="CENTER">-22</TD> </TR> </TABLE> |
Go here, Homesite 1.2
It's a free html editor and one of the best. I have used Homesite for years. I started with this one and moved on the the latest paid version. Pay attention to your width settings table width="" cellspacing="" cellpadding="" And your table data width settings td width="" These can be in pixels or percent of table width. You should get something like this. I left out the greater than and lesser than symbols so you could see the code. table width="95%" align="center" cellspacing="10" tr td align="center"2004 Jan 9-11 br (sorted by "advantage")/td td align="center"Republican Party/td td align="center"Democratic Party/td td align="center"Republican br Advantage/ Disadvantage/td /tr tr td align="center"/td td align="center"%/td td align="center"%/td td align="center"%/td /tr tr td align="center"Terrorism /td td align="center"60/td td align="center"30/td td align="center"+30/td /tr tr td align="center"The situation in Iraq /td td align="center"53/td td align="center"37/td <td align="center"+16/td /tr /table And Halx, how did I manage to get the posting window so screwed up? |
i tried to fix it up for you.. but it didn't quite work...
you could just use the code tag and equally space everything |
most forums that Ive had experience with like to choke on pure html table code, usually adding horrific whitespaces and sending things off the screen.
Usually, its a good idea to: Type it in by hand if the list is small OR Link to the table on the internet, or put it in an iframe. Hope that helps. |
Yeah I messed with it a little bit but pretty much just gave up for now. Actually I didn't really give up but rather get side tracked by the "Teen Titans" game I listed in the games forum.
Thanks for the help everyone... I suspect it may be hopless and beyond the design specs for this software. |
