Tables that don't stretch

« on: November 07, 2006, 01:07:36 PM »

I am working on some type of a CBE module but need help with my tables.....

I have the CBE Buddy Table located in the middle right side, and below it, I have a Box where users can add any type of Html codes.

When there are no html codes underneath the Buddy table, everything looks good, but whenever my users add big images or so, the Buddy table stretches, to match the size of the Html Box.

This is how it looks before a big image code is added underneath:

This is how it looks when a long code or image is added under the Buddy Table (tab).

How can I lock the Buddy Table's size, so that it doesn't stretch? This is the code i'm currently using for my buddy table:

Code:

<table class="profilebox1" width=500 border=2 bordercolor=gray cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<tr>
<td><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">My Buddies</span></p>
<p><?php include('components/com_comprofiler/enhanced/buddy/buddy.php'); ?></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

I hope I posted this in the correct forum.

the easiest way would be to add a class or id to your table.

Code:

Then in your CSS template define a width for that class

Code:

.buddy{width:500px;}

That should work. By the way, setting a width for the table element is not good practice. I believe it won't validate as xhtml. Set the width using css.
