I do not know if this thread already discuss or not. However; I was busy lately to get all thing straight out until I hop back to computer and done with the design I was working on it. Somehow, I forgot how to do those several thing.

First; I want the table or the browser to be fix the monitor such as www.wired.com that can change different size of table/div/css. Can anyone give me a tip or advice about this one? Also I have seen some website which I forgot how to do those that I used enable the float such as box/table can be anywhere with all different box in one group. You know what I am saying? It seem to be javascript to using document.write as updating. However; I am try to made simple and easy to plan for that. Sometime, I don't see myself as easy but can't think of it. I just want grab the cable then plug-in between my brain and the computer. So I can loading the picture I am try working on it.

Beside, how thing go?

Thats not very clear at all.
Could you explain it a little better ?

cam · 27-06-2004, 13:40

I thought English was the first language of America..

For the wired-esque fluid css layouts, http://glish.com/css/ will be helpful

I am try saying about the table and CSS. I learn but forgot how to use them. That CSS can made looks like the table. I am try to understand using the CSS's box as table. Is that clear?

That might be your best bet.

Norman, Leeds is a bar. Maybe that would explain some of the problems.

Would "I would like to use CSS to design my layout similar to using tables" be an accurate interpretation?

evanc · 28-06-2004, 10:01

this thread is hilarious.

lucksin · 28-06-2004, 10:07

wat r u talking abt... is the table that sqeeze or expands & covers all the area of the browser as u make ur browser window smaller or larger ??

Use a DIV tag instead of the TABLE tag if you want to avoid using tables. If you want to use tables, then you can use TABLE and DIV tags together. Also you might want to check out source code of wired.com (view source) to see how they coded their site.

dan · 28-06-2004, 13:16

had some trouble reading ol' lucksin's posts as well... not enough real words in there. Too much "y r u able 2" going on. Fast to type. Hard to read..

come, on guys its not nice to makefun of someone's english because just they USA. in. are.

lucksin · 30-06-2004, 04:50

what i think is that when ever you are working on tabels work in percentage(%) rather than pixals ... give the width of the table in percentage...lets say like what wired.com had done is it has given the width of the main table in percentage (100%) this will cover whole area of the screen every time wether you resize your browser window or you go from 800X600 resolution to 1024X768

i hope this is what you are looking for... if not then explain you problem or concept in detail then only we all will be able to help you out

hey guys and about the abbriviations... i think now everyone can read easily... have to press lots of backspaces to type this much... you know its easy to type with short words

sleepingfish · 30-06-2004, 04:52

.....yes

Where has Wired used a 100% table?

cam · 30-06-2004, 05:05

there's one table there, funnily enough for tabular (market) data.

and even that's not at 100%.

nice post lucksin!

lucksin · 30-06-2004, 05:10

hey guys wired.com is really wiered... they havn't used any tables in it... thats pretty strange but if you want the wired.com type effect then you can use tables with 100% width rest i am still going on with the code of wired.com ....i think have to study a lot for this site..

cam · 30-06-2004, 05:14

You're joking, right?

Stickman · 30-06-2004, 05:27

I bet he's not.
