Yeah I did try things like that, to see if some of the core CSS code or out element div tags and things had somehow had an adverse effect, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Unless their is something CSS specific that can cause this kind of issue.

That's why I posted hoping someone might have come across this type of issue before and may have already had some answers.

to repeat myself again, I really don't think you'll get the correct answer asking us to guess what can be wrong, show as the html code and we will look into it, add some comments to it what is wrong with it and what you're trying to do and what result you want, that will be easy. Just host a separate file of it or something, or use services like pastebin.com or something

It would require too many files, they aren't simple HTML files, but much of PHP/mySQL, Javascript, CSS and XHTML.

It would take too long for one person that go through it all and find the issue.

Hence why I was hoping someone has just had a similar issue and may identify it, or a possibility.

It was actually a problem even when it was simpler code, but I didn't have time to leave it, and I found a way around. So if no one knows of the issue being possible, I will just leave it as is, but everything else works except for a table.

So if no one has come across this, then there probably won't be an answer until someone else is stuck in the same position and find its, but isn't necessary for me. Just thought I would ask.

The later being preferable.

Consider tables as inline-blocks, that is they shouldn't be a top level element like divisions.

For my understanding, hmm, the only thing needed is the html output with some things removed to make it smaller and an explanation of the result you want to get in that html output, all the further coding how to achieve that in your php or whatever source code is another issue, but maybe it is just me and I don't get.

Well, if you're going to do the latter, you might as well put that in css. IE:

<table class="info">

Then in your css file:

.info {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}

Or, in a more generic manner, you can just specify what you want for tables:

table {
//layout info
}

And you can specify how you want to layout the table with the info class.

Maybe it'd be better if you (Chesso) posted the code for the whole page so that people can get a better of idea of why the table is causing the page to break? I mean, it's true that you can emulate tables with divs, but I think it's better to use tables all the same. Also, maybe linking to the site would be better so that people can sort through things without looking at your php code.

Just wondering does the examples I've gave you work for the div/css against table? Just curious as it did for me even though it might not be the best solution.

Cheers

when i have troubles with tables the very first thing i do is make sure i have the cellpadding and cellspacing and both on 0. that always fixes any table problems i have, lol. oh and other problems i have i have to use colspan and valign.

for your problem though im not sure.

Well seen as it brakes the site up pretty badly, I guess some sort of alignment could be an issue.

I did test out a few different possibilities, but with being capped on speed and especially this ISP (it's mostly great otherwise) it's not very stable when capped, so it is hard just to load up this page lol (let alone a CSS reference).
