Title: How are uniform table columns achieved for posts on this forum? Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on January 25, 2014, 06:16:18 PM If I see a couple examples, I'm sure I could reproduce in via seeing the code when I click the quote button. I know I've seen such posted here before, but would be hard-pressed to hunt them down, hence asking.
Each column would be titled and stay aligned with its intended column text regardless of resolution or other unknowns. Thanks in advance, all. ~TMIBTCITW Title: Re: How are uniform table columns achieved for posts on this forum? Post by: Foxpup on January 26, 2014, 01:42:15 AM Seriously? This is Web Design 101. It's done by specifying relative widths (ie, a percentage of available space) instead of absolute widths (ie, number of pixels). For example, the column containing your avatar, post count, etc. has a width of 16% of the total table width, regardless of how wide the table actually ends up being on your screen, so it automatically scales with different resolutions.

He's asking if there's a way to do it inside a post, not how to do it as a web developer. Title: Re: How are uniform table columns achieved for posts on this forum?

Forum may support a font with equal spacing, too, which would keep you from having to use the crippling {code} option.

Is there a way to not do that? The [table] tags do it automatically. ???Title: Re: How are uniform table columns achieved for posts on this forum?

BTW, the following is what I was trying to accomplish: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5494/12158130914_6c52d6cc49_z.jpg Title: Re: How are uniform table columns achieved for posts on this forum? Post by: Foxpup on January 27, 2014, 01:34:37 AM Are the [table] tags really that hard to use? Use [table] and [/table] to define a table, use [tr] and [/tr] to define rows within the table, and [td] and [/td] to define cells within each row.
See? It's easy! |
