I have multiple rows of elements that i want to align vertical so that on different resolutions, the first screen (without scrolling) would be the same for each of them.
Luckly, i have some limits that i have to respect 800px and 1200px (vertical resolution). So only between those two values my margins have to increase/decrease proportionaly. If bigger or smaller than that interval the screen remains as it is to one of those limits.
Unfortunely, based on requirements i can't use media-queries or javascript for calculating this, so it has to be a pure CSS solution.
Is there a way of doing that? Without affecting height, width or left/right margins of the elements.
Or is there a javascript way of modifying that without injecting inline CSS property? I haven't heard of that but could it be possible to modify CSS files?
EDIT A non-table solution would be prefered.
No javascript ? The only markup i see able to achieve this (divide a page vertically + evenly) is a <table>
I fiddled an example here
You will have to trigger height of 100% on body and html first,
html, body {
height:100%
}
<table style="width:100%;height:100%">
<tr>
<td style="color:green;background-color:pink">a a</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="color:blue;background-color:aqua">b b</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="color:red;background-color:cyan">r r</td>
</tr>
</table>
Play with this, test it out to see if this solution suits your situation.
Otherwise, if you intent to use javascript, you can check out 'not fully supported' calc() in css3

FIXED HEADER TABLE ____When Clicking on scrollbar icon in ie11 flickers when using positioning as i cannot change the structure as it is dynamically coming from different sources and gets in table body structure
<tbody><tr></tr><tr></tr></tbody>
here is the fiddle attached works fine in chrome but when i check in ie it flickers horriblly when clicking on div vertical scrollbar below or above icon
Any Css or html solution is also acceptable until if there is no change in html structure
DEMOJs Fiddle Demo
JQUERY
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#theDiv').on('scroll', function () {
$('#headerRow td,#headerRow th').css({'position':'relative','background':'red','top':$('#theDiv').scrollTop()-1});
});
});
First we wrap #theDiv in a #theDivWrap (using jQuery) and use the css to style it...
The idea is to duplicate header row into a new div appended to #theDivWrap via JS
Now loop through table heading elements and create a div based similar styled heading which will come over table and is prepended to #theDivWrap and stays there forever even on scroll because wrap is not overflow auto...

Adjust negative margin bottom of .headerRow to suit your needs ;)
As Ie doesn't support overflow property for table group elements. So we can add a workaround to support the required behaviour. Add this css to your fiddle and try it will work.
tbody{display:block;height:auto;}
This will make your flicker go away in ie older versions. Although its a hack to make it work but there is no other pure css way. For more details and explanation you may want to read this link.
Updated fiddle is here.
But as you told me flickering not goes away.A workaround exists but it requires changing in ie settings. Go to internet options, navigate to advanced and scroll down until you see browsing section and uncheck "enable smooth scrolling". But I don't know whether it suits your requirement or not
This has been noted to be an IE11 bug, and according to this other SO question from 2014, shows up under the following conditions:
Three things can cause IE 11 flickering/choppy/delay for fixed
position element while scrolling:
If you have an "overflow: auto;" on the parent container element,
remove it.
Remove background-attachment:fixed; from the fixed position
element.
Remove border-radius from the fixed position element (mobile
IE only).
(Accepted answer by #Adamy)
Well, removing auto-overflow from your code takes away the whole purpose, so it's not the best solution here, and the others don't apply. What seems to work however (according to this MS Connect bug) is some HTML changes, separating the header row, and adding a custom scroll function to the actual table body. This JsFiddle page (kindly provided by folks that responded to the MS bug) has a working example:
https://jsfiddle.net/84y0vtyx/
(Including only part of the example with relevant comment. Full explanation requires reviewing the JsFiddle example.)
/* Only WinIE will fire this function. All other browsers scroll the TBODY element and not the DIV */
/* This is to hide the SELECT elements from scrolling over the fixed Header. WinIE only. */
/* toggleSelectBoxes added on 2005-01-28 */
/* Terence Ordona, portal[AT]imaputz[DOT]com */
window.onload = function() { addIEonScroll(); }
Hi here is my update based on your comment.
I copied the HTML part from your js Fiddle and just added this style tag to the above the table div and it works perfectly in microsoft edge and other browsers with no Jquery needed:
<style>
#headerRow
{
position: fixed !important;
top:0px;
background:Red;
}
</style>
////OLD
I apologies as you have mentioned that you cannot change the html table structure that comes down however see my old answer below which i wrote without this consideration. Can you consider using css to traverse the fixed table that comes down and apply a fixed position to the top header row? I have read that you can give a fixed position and a background color to a table row so that it remains fixed and the background prevents the text from overlapping How to make table row fixed at the top
You can use css to select the top row of the table:
Css:
table tr:first-child
{
position: fixed;
top:0px;
background:#FFF;
}
/// old answer:
Please may i suggest that you forget about using a document scroll event and just create a header with an absolute position if it is a div with an overflow scroll or a fixed position if it is just to remain fixed as the window scrolls. you can specify widths for your colums so that the fixed header lines up. so something along these lines (im just typing on my phone):
<table style="position:fixed; width:100% ">
<tr>
<th width="50%">
Test1
</th>
<th width="50%">
Test2
</th>
</tr>
</table>
<table style="margin-top:25px; width:100% ">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
a
</td>
<td width="50%">
b
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50%">
c
</td>
<td width="50%">
d
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Especialy if we are talking cross browser compatibilty here- the simpler and most basic html/ css implementation the better. Css has provided us with a fixed class. There is no need to use jquery to watch your documents scroll.
I use this one my site:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmosbech/StickyTableHeaders/master/js/jquery.stickytableheaders.min.js
Simply load it in your <head></head> section of the page and it will float the header of any table loaded on that page. It's cross-browser and gets the job done with no additional tricks, just plug & play.
This is again one of these old issues: I would like to make the four first columns of my HTML-Table sticky (only horizontally).
There are several solutions out there which work properly if it's a smaller table. Unfortunately mine has a big size and I would like it to spread it over the whole screen. Therefore most solutions which pack the table in a scrollable div are no use because they put the scrollbar at the very end of the div - which is quite a distance to go down.
Also there is some small content over the table so it's yet not 100% of the screen...
There were some ideas around the Internet to give the frozen tds the position: absolute; attribute which didn't work for me.
http://www.fixedheadertable.com/ seems kinda fine - unfortunately till now it just messes up my table...
EDIT 1:
It's a pretty huge table which displays a database and does some calculation with its values.
That's one of my problems: It always has the same amount of columns (about 50) but the number of rows vary.
But in general the table is kinda straight-forward with no surprises:
<table id="calctbl">
<thead class="fixed">
<tr id="table-head">
<th class="several classes">Number<br>
<br>Pos. Nr.</th>
<th class="several classes">Info 1</th>
<th class="several classes"><div>More infos</div></th>
<th class="several classes">Here<br>are some more<br>infos</th>
<th>... and it goes on ...</th>
</tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr>
<td class="several other classes">vals...</td>
<td class="several other classes">more vals</td>
<td class="several classes"><div>and some more</div></td>
<td class="several other classes">...</td>
<td>... and it goes on ...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- No big surprises, it just goes on -->
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Also I use this for the first header line: HTML table with fixed headers?
EDIT 2:
http://www.fixedheadertable.com/ - there is not really an explanation and for some reason it just messes everything up
http://tympanus.net/codrops/2014/01/09/sticky-table-headers-columns/
Has the mentioned problem: It requires a limiting div around it
how do I create an HTML table with fixed/frozen left column and scrollable body?
Answer #1: Same problem with the div
position: fixed - doesn't work at all for me
How can I make the first and second column of a table sticky Answer #1 - dosen't work either
http://massless.org/_tests/grid1/ - seems to be quite old and requires a div
http://learndevelopingmyway.blogspot.co.at/2012/03/sticky-columnsheaders-freeze-pane-in.html is this even a table?
According to my experience, fixedheadertable works just fine. Try to play with your css, especially container div's max-height and other height-related properties to limit it's size for big tables. It would be easier if you could show your table, but if I understood correctly, this css could help:
.fht-tbody{
max-height: 300px;
}
You can test this easily if using some inspector in your browser (i.e. firebug) on the original page (http://www.fixedheadertable.com/) by targeting the .fht-tbody and setting the above value.
I have a set of tuples that I would like to display in a table. If there are more tuples than would fit in the window, I would like to cut the table short and only display that many tuples (rows), and then swap the data out at periodic intervals (allowing the data to be shown on a projector screen for example).
I can monkey around with Javascript enough to do this if I knew where to start, but I don't have much experience programming in the browser. i.e. I'm not even sure where to start looking.
Use the tabe width and row width as percentage like,
<table width='100%'>
<tr>
<td width='10%'></td>
..................
<tr>
</table>
I have html
<div style="width: 1000px;">
<table >
...
</table>
</div>
Table is very large and not all fields fit into div. How to automatically reduce the text to the entire table is placed in a div?
If I understand your question right, you're trying to fit text into a table and change font size according to the table size. Wich would require working with em or %.
There's a great article on A List Apart. You should check that out.
Also; add a Stylesheet Reset to ensure everything looks the same in different browsers.
I have a HTML table like the below;
<table style="width: 100%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 30px">cell</td>
<td class="cell">cell</td>
<td class="cell">cellcell</td>
<td class="cell">cellcellcell</td>
<td class="cell">cellcellcellcell</td>
<td class="cell">cellcellcellcellcell</td>
<td class="cell">cellcellcellcellcellcell</td>
<td style="width: 30px">cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
The table is designed to stretch to screen (or a div having specific width). I want equal width for all cells having class="cell" and this works well when the character length of text in all cells having class="cell" are equal. But, I want to fix the cell width even if the character lengths of contents in class="cell" are different.
Also you can see that the first and last cells have fixed width, in pixels and others cell widths are to be calculated on the basis of percentage .. I want equal width for all cells (except first and last with fixed width in pixels).
I think this can be done using Javascript with the help of jQuery, by calculating the table cell widths on document ready, and then adding some function using on window resize and thereby calculating cell widths. The cell widths will be (tablewidth in px - 60px)/6 I am a beginner and I don't know much.. How can I do this using jQuery and (or) Javascript.
It will be very helpful if someone make me a fiddle..
You could just do that with CSS, by applying each td an equal percentage:
td{
width: 16%;
}
example: http://jsfiddle.net/niklasvh/wKmxD/
With your updated question, you could do it with javascript by first storing the widths into an array, and then referencing that on window resize, and use the aspect ratio difference to place new widths:
var w = [];
var tw = $('table').width();
$('table td').width(function(i,e){
w[i]=e;
});
$(window).resize(function(){
$('table td').width(function(i){
return ($('table').width()/tw)*w[i];
});
});
