- HTML Table Gaps
- Posted by Kevin Pyne on November 21st, 2004
I used Dreamweaver to create a size chart table for my unpublished website.
The tables looks great, however there is a HUGE GAP when I do a print
preview of the page where the table will appear.
Here is the beginning coding dreamweaver created for the table (5 columns,
87 rows):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<table width="91%" height="3423" border="1">
<tr>
Any comments or suggestions?
Thank-You
Kevin

Are you sure you wanted a pixel height of 3423?? I suspect this is where the
error
lyes. As a rough idea, if you are running at 1024x768 - you would need to
scroll
down 5 full window lengths to see the full table.
Thanks, Mark

I agree Mark. By setting the height Kevin, you are saying that's how big it
HAS to be, rather than just letting the table expand as needed. Another
suggestion would be to create you table in Excel, save it as a PDF and link
to the table.

What about people who don't have the Adobe Reader (although most do and it
_is_ free), or don't want to use the Reader for whatever reason.
Personally, I right click and save PDFs for later viewing. I really don't
like PDF's opening in my browser.
In the OP's case, probably the best thing to do is to break the information
up into more than one page. There are all sorts of pagination scripts
around depending on what server side language the OP has.

Dreamweaver created the pixel width of "3423". I attemped changing to a
smaller number but it has no impact on my table....still the huge gap. I
really don't desire a PDF on my site either but thanks just the same for the
suggestion. I really do not enjoying working with html tables. I thought
Dreamweaver would do the coding for me but I guess I was in error. Maybe I
could use some JavaScripts or CSS but I'm not really sure how to approach
this.
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, at this point, you should publish the page as is somewhere that we
can look at it and try to help you. If you don't have hosting, use one of
the free services like Geocities, just so we can take a look.
