Hi,
I'm trying to position a <tr> ("row") element with CSS.
The table itself is positioned with <div> tags. The problem is when I
use <div> tags to position the rows within the table nothing happens.
In the following example, I want to position two table rows relative
to the table itself.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Please provide sample code.
Thanks
Here is the code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..questionText {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..instructionTe xt {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..tableDefault {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000033;
border: 1px solid;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position : absolute; left: 74px; top: 58px; width: 492px;
height: 71px;">
<table width="469" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"
class="tableDef ault">
<div style="position : relative; left: 100px;">
<tr class="question Text">
<td height="16" colspan="10" valign="top">Ho w satisfied are
you with
the following: </td>
<td width="26"></td>
</tr>
</div>
<div style="position : relative; left: 50px;">
<tr class="instruct ionText">
<td height="16" colspan="10" valign="top">(f ill out
completey)</td>
</tr>
</div>
</table>
</div>
</body>

How do you do that? Usually one would use CSS for that. ;)
when I use <div> tags to position the rows within the table nothing happens.
'Div' isn't allowed inside 'table' nor 'tbody', but 'tr' is. OTOH you can
position /any/ box with CSS, e.g. one generated by an 'tr' element. Your
HTML resp. CSS teachers / books / tutorials should have told you that.
In the following example, I want to position two table rows relative to the table itself.
Don't margin or padding work better?
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;
font: bold 1em sans-serif;
<style type="text/css">
Why do you use a style element for each ruleset? The 'media' attribute is
useful, but not required.
<div style="position : absolute; left: 74px; top: 58px; width: 492px; height: 71px;">
Better use an ID instead of the 'style' attribute; and on the 'table', not
an extra 'div'.
<table width="469" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" class="tableDef ault">
Mixing presentational HTML attributes with CSS is hazardous.
These here translate to
table.tableDefa ult {width: 449px; border-spacing: 1px}
table.tableDefa ult td {padding: 0}.

Useless Fact #5:
'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'.
'I am.' is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
The longest one-syllable word in the English language is 'screeched.'

What is wrong with tbody being in a table? Are you sure about that?
If your correct then I'd better not be using thead and tfoot as well!
Can you clarify please

Added parenthesis to group words. Notice that there is no "is" between
"nor" and tbody.

Indeed. More accurately, it "isn't allowed as the immediate
descendent of ...". Wrapped in a table cell, which in turn is wrapped
in a table row, div would be fine.

"The DIV element in a table is only allowed inside a table cell (TD ot
TH).", that would sum it all up.

That's how the sentence was meant. The intention to add 'tbody' to the
statement was, that the element is implied in HTML4 (but not in XHTML), i.e.
<table><tr><td> foo</table>
is equal to
<table><tbody>< tr><td>foo</td></tr></table>
-- therefore the selector "table>tr" will never match anything in an HTML4
document.
<table><div><tr ><td>foo</td></tr></div></table>
could be either
<table><tbody>< div><tr><td>foo </td></tr></div></tbody></table>
or
<table><div><tb ody><tr><td>foo </td></tr></tbody></div></table>
if it was valid, which it is not.

Hi,
I have two questions.
1. I have heard that replacing a <tr> <td> with <div> tags increases the rendering speed. Is it so, and if yes which speed does it increase, rendering speed or loading speed.
2. Is the main purpose of app_browser is to convert <tr><td> to <div> tags.
