Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / February 2006Lists with CSS
Posted this over in alt.html.css (no response) and alt.internet.search-engines (those fine folks suggested I post it here) and am wondering if someone here might be able to help. I have Googled and come close (and browsed the recent topics here) but not there yet, please see below. Could someone please tell me how to make this http://www.anrodscreen.com/plain-weave-wire-cloth-proposed.php tabled list into a list with CSS? I have come part way, just can't get over the hump... This close http://www.anrodscreen.com/completely%20css.php (the stuff in white...) Thank you,  SignatureBrent Atkerson Anrod Screen Cylinder Co. www.anrodscreen.com > Could someone please tell me how to make this > http://www.anrodscreen.com/plain-weave-wire-cloth-proposed.php tabled > list into a list with CSS? Why would you want to do that? It sure looks like tabular data to me, thus suited for the table used. Recommendations: use <th> for the heading row drop all the 'center' and <font..> stuff from the data rows, and use CSS for that The bold is hard to read. No need to assign a font size then. Use <table class="weave"> .weave td { text-align: center; } Signature-bts -Warning: I brake for lawn deer >> Could someone please tell me how to make this >> http://www.anrodscreen.com/plain-weave-wire-cloth-proposed.php tabled [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > text-align: center; > } Thank you bts, I will give it a go...

Set default styles for ".weave td" (font, centering, color, margin, ...) and use explicit classes for special cases. Oh! You mean not use a table at all? But it's tabular data...

You mean not use a table at all? But it's tabular data... Correct, was thinking no table at all. Sorry I didn't mention that.

Further recommendations: use a correct DOCTYPE. Yours is a combo of Transitional and Strict, probably confusing the browsers. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> look into using CSS for the rest of the presentation, instead of the tables holding textual content. consider using that list for the "list" of links at the bottom of the page, and style it to be horizontal. You can even make them look like buttons if you want. use relative pathing for those links instead of repeating the domain name on each line/link.

Again, more thanks (and while researching my list issue I learned how to make the links look like buttons if I wanted to..) Nice catch on the doctype too, I will have to check my active pages since this is a copy of an active page (so I can do testing on it).
