html tables as content
eranb2 - January 4, 2007 - 19:40
Hi,
I added an html table in the first content "story" , I do see it properly but the table itself is always at the bottom of the page.
why is that?
Is it a good idea to work with tables, I have no html/css experience and need some fast solution?
any other ideas?

Paste your table code
I'm no expert and off the top of my head I can't answer it. Try pasting your table code here, maybe even a link to the suspect page, I'm sure it'll be a easy fix.

I took it from a tutorial , just for checking .
You need to show the actual
You need to show the actual html code starting at
<table>and ending</table>.Whatever html code you want to display here - wrap it within
<code>and</code>tags. (see formatting options below)___________________________

different table but still showing down the page.
If you're creating a post
If you're creating a post entry (story or page) in Drupal you don't have to worry about
<HTML>through to<BODY>tags, in short they are dynamically inserted when drupal displays the page.In your example above all you have to worry about is from the
<table>through to the closing</table>tag.Your border and font values need to be contained within double-quotes eg "4".
Block copy the below, create a new blog, page or story and paste, then preview entry, see what you get.
<table border="1" width="250"><tbody>
<tr>
<td><font size="4" color="#ff0000">Zooloo</font></td>
<td><font size="4" color="#ff0000">Zooloo</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="4" color="#00ff00">Zooloo</font></td>
<td><font size="4" color="#00ff00">Zooloo</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="4" color="#0000ff">Zooloo</font></td>
<td><font size="4" color="#0000ff">Zooloo</font></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The above is here at my test site http://www.superjacent.net/drupal-v-5.0-rc1/?q=node/10. This link probably won't be around for too long, just a couple of days, maybe weeks, before it's broken.
There is nothing in the code snippet above which causes the table to be positioned at the bottom of a page. If that is still the case for you then I suspect it maybe something to do with CSS and that's where I'll have to opt out (I'm learning as well).
Hope this helps.

Drupal HTML table problem
Hi Eranb2, this is common problem with Drupal HTML Table. It was caused by line break that you made. For example if you create table using this tag:
<TABLE><TR><TD>coloumn1</TD><TD>coloumn2</TD><TD>coloumn3</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnA</TD><TD>coloumnB</TD><TD>coloumnC</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnD</TD><TD>coloumnE</TD><TD>coloumnF</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
this code will make a three empty line right before your table. So if you create
<TABLE><TR><TD>coloumn1</TD><TD>coloumn2</TD><TD>coloumn3</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnA</TD><TD>coloumnB</TD><TD>coloumnC</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnD</TD><TD>coloumnE</TD><TD>coloumnF</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnA</TD><TD>coloumnB</TD><TD>coloumnC</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>coloumnD</TD><TD>coloumnE</TD><TD>coloumnF</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
there will be five empty line before your table. So it makes your table go to bottom of the pages.
I did not the solution for this, but every time i made a table, i write it to single line such as:
<TABLE><TR><TD>coloumn1</TD><TD>coloumn2</TD><TD>coloumn3</TD></TR><TR>TD>coloumnA</TD><TD>coloumnB</TD><TD>coloumnC</TD></TR><TR>TD>coloumnD</TD><TD>coloumnE</TD><TD>coloumnF</TD></TR></TABLE>So there is no empty line will be made.
