Changing these Tables

Aerdan · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 9th, 2007, 06:38

Hello,

I'm in the process of remaking my guild's website, and I'm redoing the code so that tables don't make the layout anymore (yay!), however, I have a couple of problems. All the code is clean and I get no errors, however, I want to know if it's possible to fix the couple of tables included in this short page.

http://www.ascendo-tuum.com/atbeta/index.php

Check the source code. By learning how to fix this table issue so that it is CSS-driven, I shouldn't have as many problems making the rest of the site, but I want to make sure it's being put together correctly from the start! Thanks in advance.

Code in Question:

Code: Select all

<div id="admin">
    <div id="adminlogo">
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
        <tr>
        <td class="adminmenu"><a href="index.php?p=admin&amp;mod=mmanagement">Member Management</a></td>
        <td class="adminmenu"><a href="index.php?p=admin&amp;mod=recruitment">Recruitment Notices</a></td>
        <td class="adminmenu"><a href="index.php?p=admin&amp;mod=progression">Progression Admin</a></td>
        <td class="adminmenu"><a href="index.php?p=admin&amp;mod=rmanager">Review Manager</a></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
</div>

<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="topbar">
    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
        <tr>
        <td class="topbarleft">Left Text</td>
        <td class="topbarright">Right Text</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    </div>
</div>

The code that's highlighted, I was looking to see if that code can be done without using tables, through CSS.

You should be able to do it with an unordered list and just add css to the list

Have a look here http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/

Excellent, that's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you.

I do have a follow-up question. Is there a way to do padding in CSS without it moving the background with it? The table created there is also done because I can pad the table to get the text in the right position without it adjusting the background. Thanks again in advance!

Have you tried Margin?

Aerdan · #7 (**permalink**) Nov 9th, 2007, 22:09

Yeah, it starts the background at the point the margin is, same for padding

Edit: The page isn't showing up properly in IE at all: it's adding blank space

Any coding reason why or how to fix it?

Thanks again in advance for the help!

Have you tried adding a background image to each list item?

I have never tried it but it is just a theory.....also the I haven't had a beer for 2 weeks and it's starting to think for me :crazy:

Sorry for a lack of response. I haven't had a chance to run the last fixes, but going to shortly.

I'm also looking to fix this line break issue. Does anyone know a way to fix it so it won't break the images in a row like it is?
