Hi All, I'm at my wit's end. I've started putting together an AJAX-driven site (on local servers only right now) and one of my call-back scripts needs to update a few rows of a table. So I tried encapsulating the affected rows in a DIV, but when I update that the old table rows remain and the new table rows appear almost as running text above the table. This is HTML 4.01 Transitional and the W3C validator tells me that I'm doing it wrong as the DOM doesn't allow a structure like: </tr><div><tr></tr></div><tr>. Unfortunately, I can't update the entire table as it contains stuff that isn't known to the server-side script.
So I'm hoping that CSS can come to the rescue. Presumably, I can nest one DIV inside another and it may be possible to create a set of paragraphs, divs, and spans to emulate a table. But how to create a tabular layout, i.e. where the column boundaries are vertically aligned and each column is the correct width to just fit the widest content with cell content wrapping if required? So far, all I've found is ways of creating fixed-width, fixed-height structures while I need both to be dynamic. All help, particularly pointers to good tutorials, will be gratefully received. -- Geoff ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
