IE8 table problem

2 New Member
I am trying to correct a table problem.

In IE6, the table (created in VS with ASPX) does display correctly.

Ijn IE8, it adds unwanted horizontal scrollbars, and the columns do not display properly -- they are too spread out without the horizontal scrollbars.

Is there any way to restrain the columns so that the horizontal scrollbars are not needed.

I know how to set overflow to hidden so that the horizontal scrollbars do not appear; however, I still need to set the columns properly.

What control are you using to generate your table?

I'm brand new to ASPX!

Here are some of the commands to generate the table, I've removed anything that might be IP of my company:

AjaxControlTool kit

asp:Content runat="Server">

" SelectMethod="

Apparently, the table just starts with the following command:

<table width="100%">

This table appeared correctly in IE6, but not IE8.

I know that IE8 has problems with percentages, may this be part of the trouble?

THANKS!

Set the width of your <td> elements (columns) so that they are a percentage.
Calculate the width percentage based on the number of columns there are in the table.

For example, the width percentage for one column would be: 1/numberOfColumns *100.

That will make all of your columns the same width.

I'm not exactly sure why you're seeing scroll bars because normally you don't have scroll bars (unless the table is within an element like a div that has an oveflow:auto/scroll style set).

You need to provide more information about your page layout for more help.

Hi, I need to have a table nested within another table. The tables are alongside each other visually speaking, and the nested table (on the right) can vary in size. My problem is that when the nested table has more rows than the first table, the first table (on the left) pads out its rows so that the table matches the height of the nested table. I don't want this it happen.. I just want the nested table to be longer than the first...

I am looking for some way to persist a table web control so when page_load event comes up, i can display the table as it was. I tried using ViewState with the rows collection but that didn't work to well as I got an error trying to put rows collection in the viewstate. My problem is this: I load a table with rows and controls, then wire events, this is after clearing the rows of the table initially in this function.

I have a routine that is called on Page_Init. It retrieves folder records from a database which I display as Link Buttons in a table cell. I set the table cell's bgcolor to a default color (say black for example). I am dynamically creating the LinkButton controls and adding them into the table cell and I've also hooked up an event handler for each LinkButton's Click event. This all works fine. Now in the Link Button's Click event...

I have a table that has 3 image slices. The middle slice changes size based on size of browser window. This works great. My client wants the date to show over the image on the right. So what I did was cut off the top part of the image (which is just a solid color and I can handle by making the background-color of the cell this color). I then use a asp line to display the date, which also works. Here is the original table setup for...

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD? I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of elements in the HTML to get everything just right. When you consider the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings anymore for using DIV. There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the lack of ability...
