Topic: What is the proper way?

[Steve]

That makes sense. I dont think it will work for me though because they are pretty set on doing it across like a table instead of listing down. They just want the table to scroll.....ugh your way would be so much easier

[Mike]

Tell them to go fuck themselves and do it proper.

[Steve]

Yea i just emailed them about it. They have been whining about wanting more space and this is one way to do it...

[Steve]

after ten minutes on the phone i finally got him to understand why a list would be better but i got veto'd anyway. Looks like i have to find a way to make the table work. Dammit.

[Mike]

Try to do something similar then.  Like:

Code: [Select]

<?php

echo '
<table>
<tr>
<th>Event Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>';


while ($event = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo '
<tr>
<td>', $event['title'], '</td>
<td class="description">', $event['desc'], '</td>
<td class="location">
', $event['streetaddy'], '
', $event['city'], ', ', $event['state'], ' ', $event['zip'], '
</td>
</tr>';
}

echo '
</table>';

Either that or fire them

[Steve]

i was thinking something like that with CSS to pretty it up

Its set to auto acroll down when results become longer then the div size. How can i output a line break after each result? I tried a few but it keeps showing up above the div. Something like

Result
__________

Result

but not so much space

Empty row:

Code: [Select]

<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><tr>
If you have multiple tds:

Code: [Select]

<tr><td colspan="5">&nbsp;</td><tr>

[Mike]

bleh, no need for an empty row.  Just use margin or padding on the tr.

[Mike]

Bleh small mistake.  Have to do it on the td not the tr.

Code: [Select]

td
{
padding: 0.5em 0;
}


[ober]

Well you could do that too, I suppose.

[Steve]

Cool thnx

[Steve]

Do i get enough control to make the headers line up at the beginning of the data so it all lines up evenly? I want to get the formatting right so i can move on to the search functions, ordering, etc but i know if i show them this style without it at least being lines up they will wanna go right back to that ugly ass table style and its a PIMA

[Mike]

huh?
