So, what I want to do is have a list within a cell that has items added to it and after it reaches a certain height, stop it and have a scroll bar appear. How can I create a td with a fixed height? So far I have:
<tr>
<td valign='top' height="200px" border="1">
<ul id="travelList" align='left'></ul>
</td>
</tr>
I would put your <ul> inside a div that has overflow auto and max-height. Like this:
<tr>
<td valign="top" border="1">
<div style="overflow:auto;max-height:200px">
<ul id="travelList" align="left"></ul>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
try adding:
style="max-height:200px"
note: not tested, but this is where you'd start, so google CSS max-height to get more detail of how heights work.

Could someone please explain to me why
$(".transaction_history_tab").hide();
will not hide both
// Container
<tbody class="transaction_history_tab">
</tbody>
// In example this is inside the transaction_history_tab container
<div class="data-info-box">
<span>NO DATA TO SHOW</span>
</div>
After hiding transaction_history_tab the "NO DATA TO SHOW" still appears.
$(".transaction_history_tab").hide();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
// Without table tags around
<tbody class="transaction_history_tab">
<div class="data-info-box">
<span>NO DATA TO SHOW</span>
</div>
</tbody>
Working with the answer from Rory
$(".transaction_history_tab").hide();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
// With table tags around
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody class="transaction_history_tab">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="data-info-box">
<span>NO DATA TO SHOW</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The issue is solely caused by invalid HTML. The tbody element must be contained within a table. As yours is not, it isn't rendered. You can see this if you check the DOM in the inspector. The tbody can only contain tr elements too. The child div is therefore also a problem, it should be wrapped in a tr and then a td.
As the tbody element is not rendered, and the .transaction_history_tab doesn't exist, hence there's nothing to hide.
To fix the issue correct your HTML. Either add a table around the tbody, including a tr and td around the div, or remove the tbody completely.
$(".transaction_history_tab").hide();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>This will be shown...</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody class="transaction_history_tab">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="data-info-box">
<span>NO DATA TO SHOW</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Maybe because structure tbody>div without a table/rows/cells is not a valid HTML structure.
Try either using a table>tbody>tr>td>div structure as in this JSFiddle https://jsfiddle.net/u58460ot
or use just the div without tbody as parent
<table>
<tbody class="transaction_history_tab">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="data-info-box">
<span>NO DATA TO SHOW</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
try like above it will work...
You haven't included your css here, but it is possible that your css includes something like this:
.data-info-box {
visibility: visible;
}
which would need changing to:
.data-info-box {
visibility: inherit;
}
This is because a child element set to 'visible' will still show up, even if their parent is 'hidden'. Setting the visibility to 'inherit' means that the child will take on whatever visibility attribute the parent has.
'Inherit' is the default setting for visibility, so if this is the problem you would have had to manually set it to 'visible' in your css (or dynamically in your js).
I am trying to style my {block:Photo} styles in Tumblr, so that each time a photo is posted, it will cycle through a selection of, for instance, 5 slightly different classes for displaying the picture.
An example of such can be found here (where each photo table has a unique max-width property): http://www.nontemporary.com/
The code I've come up with so far, having made ample use of the Chrome inspector is thus:
{block:Posts}
{block:Photo}
<li class="post photo">
<table width="100%" align="left" valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr class="postspace">
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="postrow">
<td class="postdistrict">
<img src="{PhotoURL-HighRes}" alt="{PhotoAlt}" align="left" valign="top" class="post1">
<td>
<td class="postdistrict">
<img src="{PhotoURL-HighRes}" alt="{PhotoAlt}" align="left" valign="top" class="post1">
<td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</li>
{/block:Photo}
{/block:Posts}
Naturally, I think I'll have to create some custom classes for the widths, but my main question is really how I should go about getting Tumblr to cycle through those widths, as can be seen in the example.
Thanks!
If you want them to cycle through the classes in order (like the example does) you can utilise the fact that tumblr lets you style each number of post.
Here is an example of what you would do:
<li class="post-{block:Post1}1{/block:Post1}{block:Post2}2{/block:Post2}[...]{block:Post15}15{/block:Post15}">
This would render as
<li class="post-1">
with the 1 depending on what number post it is.
From here you can easily make classes for .post-1 through to .post-15.
If you would like something random instead, javascript/jquery will be needed.
I am coding a page with several dynamic/sortable tables in it (one below another) to share PDF documents. Each Document tittle in the table contain a link to open the PDF in a new tab. Everything works fine, BUT when I scroll down the page and open a dynamic table/or minimize the table, the page jumps to top of the page/to default position. JavaScript's RETURN FALSE fixes this problem but all the links in the table are dead. Can anyone help to fix this? I attach the basic code structure here you can see what I am doing...
HTML:
<div id ="fifth">
<ul id="droptable">
<li><h1>Tittle of The Dynamic Table5</h1>
<div>
<table class="sortable" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td id="tablehead" width="55%">Sort by tittle</td>
<td id="tablehead" width="25%">Sort by Author</td>
<td id="tablehead" width="25%">Sort by date</td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="tabledata" width="55%"><a href="document1.pdf" target="_blank">Document1Name</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">AuthorX</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">DateX</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="tabledata" width="55%"><a href="document2.pdf" target="_blank">Document2Name</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">AuthorX</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">DateX</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="tabledata" width="55%"><a href="document3.pdf" target="_blank">Document3Name</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">AuthorX</td>
<td id="tabledata" width="25%">DateX<a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JAVASCRIPT:
// Dropdown Table Code
$(function(){
$('#droptable li a').each(function(){
$(this).click(function(){
$(this).siblings('div').slideToggle(300); // If I add RETURN FALSE here the page doesn't jump to the default position/to the top of the page (when open or minimize the table) BUT links in the table are out and don't work anymore //
});
});
});
2 things
1st id's should be unique, so change all instances of
id="tabledata"
to
class="tabledata"
2nd, try to give you td's that contain the link a different class than those that have data, then attach slide toggle to that class, maybe like:
$('.newclass').each(function(){
.....
I didn't succeed with the hints you gave but thanks anyway! I did everything but page was still jumping when opening/closing the table. BUT...I was browsing different forums and found this simple answer.
Using "#/" instead of "#" and the page won't jump. Hmm.. sometimes the answer is too simple, seemingly :o
<div id ="fifth">
<ul id="droptable">
<li><h1>Tittle of The Dynamic Table5</h1> ...
Rock'nRoll!
I have this table that includes details about its items on the right and I need to have all the cells in a column of the exact same width as the longest one, just like in the screenshot below:
This works if I use a regular table, but now I need to add an accordion function on top of it, so when I click on a row, the row's associated content will slide down from under each one.
The only way to add those content divs between table rows is to wrap them in <tr> tags, which don't work with the slideDown() and slideUp() effects.
Now I recreated the table in a fiddle using <dl> tags, hoping to solve this using CSS somehow, but no such luck. Here's the link: http://jsfiddle.net/bbDYX/ - everything is working properly, except for the width issue.
The only solution I can think of now is going through each table-cell on each of the right hand columns with JavaScript and setting their width to the same value as the highest width cell. But I want to avoid that if I can.
Any ideas?
This is what you need: myjsfiddle
css:
.con1
{
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-color:#F3E2A9;
}
Html:
<table border='0' cellspacing='3' width='100%'>
<tr bgcolor='lightblue'>
<td><a href='#' class='open1' >Item</a></td>
<td>detail 1</td>
<td>detail 2</td>
<td>detail 3</td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan='4'><div class='con1'>con1</div></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor='lightblue'>
<td><a href='#' class='open1' >Item</a></td>
<td>detail 1</td>
<td>detail 2</td>
<td>detail 3</td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan='4'><div class='con1'>con1</div></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor='lightblue'>
<td><a href='#' class='open1' >Item</a></td>
<td>detail 1</td>
<td>detail 2</td>
<td>detail 3</td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan='4'><div class='con1'>con1</div></td></tr>
</table>
Script:
$('.con1').hide();
$('.open1').click(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().next().find('.con1').slideToggle();
return false;
});
have fun styling it...
(tested)
You can't slide up the <tr> tag, but you can slide up the <td> tags. Not sure if this would work for you, but worth considering...
$("#somerow").find("td").slideToggle();
Ok, as I stated in a comment, I would keep the table and create a "custom widget" for the accordion-like effect.
The thing would be very simple, using jQuery UI animations etc.
For example, you can create a basic "description toggle" with just four lines of code:
$('.mytable .description').hide();
$('.mytable').on('click', '.title', function(){
$(this).next('.description').toggle();
});
(of course then you can customize the .toggle() by adding effect type, duration, ...)
Here it is a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/JAmFh/
i had an table like this
<div style="overflow:auto">
<table>
<thead><tr style="position:fixed"><th></th></tr></thead>
</table>
</div>
Now my problem is when i scroll div the header(that is tr element) is fixed it works fine but when i scroll the scrollbar of window the header tr is not fixed inside the div. I moves along the scroll bar of the window... Can any one help me to find out the solution please
I don't know If I'm getting your question right, but you may find this helpful http://fixedheadertable.com/
Sorry, I tried to do it in CSS alone, but that didn't work out, so you do need a bit of Javascript.
<div style="overflow:auto; position:relative;"
onscroll="document.getElementById('fixedtr').style.top = this.scrollTop+'px';">
<table>
<thead>
<tr style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0" id="fixedtr">
<th>Table header</th>
</tr>
</thead>
See jsFiddle.
This is how you want it, right?
