I have fixed number of nbsps for a particular row or column...but the data is coming from mysql...so the length of data varies...
so for each column in a table, the code for the result looks like this:
'data'
Is there a more reliable way to do this.....
...i should have used cellpadding and cellspacing instead of nbsp
cellpadding/cellspacing and (non-breaking space) are two very different things. It sounds as if you were using characters to control the width of the element?
An alternative to using characters might be to use the CSS
white-spaceproperty to suppress line breaks. eg:
#container {
white-space:nowrap;
}
Also, cellspacing and cellpadding on the table element are deprecated attributes!
Are you looking ahead to HTML5? As they aren't deprecated in HTML4.01.
<td style="width:100px;"> </td>
I like to keep all my visual control at the CSS end so that my markup is clean and as semantic as possible.
XHTML!
Are you saying cellpadding and cellspacing are deprecated in XHTML1.0? Are you sure?!
