[PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
I am hoping someone can help me with a desperate problem I am having I know nothing about PHP and hoping that it might be able to solve a problem I have with HTML tables. I want my web background to cover the entire screen regardless of screen size. The background has a header, a left side nav and a footer. I want the footer to be on the bottom of the screen or bottom of the text, which ever is greater. If you go to www.v3.aru.org.nz you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. If you are using IE 5.x or greater it should show correctly. I used the HTML table tag height=100%, however this is not a valid tag and therefore Netscape ignores it. Also if I use it it wont validate as a true complaint code, which I want it to. So can I use PHP to create a table or place the background images to create a header, side nav and footer with the middle white section adjusting to screen size. I don't want to have to greater multiple sites for different resolutions and would rather have one template that all pages call by an include statement (That's the ASP command, think I saw the same command in PHP) Any help or solution would be appreciated as I have been searching the net and working on this for weeks and I'm getting nowhere.

Re: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
PHP is server-side, so it can't do anything that would help with the layout of HTML on the client-side. You might want to look into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format the page so that it validates the way you want it to :o) HTH!

RE: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
I have had some success with something similar to what you want to do, using frames. The bottom footer always remains at the bottom of the browser page with the upper body becoming scrollable when it fills up and no longer fits. Perhaps you can use some variation of this. HTML HEAD TITLEMy Form/TITLE /HEAD !-- frames -- !-- standard frameset -- frameset rows=*,40 frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0 noresize frame name=CBody src=Topbodyform.html marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=auto frameborder=no noresize frame name=CFoot src=Smallbodyfoot.html marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no frameborder=no noresize /frameset hope this helps, Warren Vail Tools, Metrics Quality Processes -Original Message- From: Briggsy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 1:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout I am hoping someone can help me with a desperate problem I am having I know nothing about PHP and hoping that it might be able to solve a problem I have with HTML tables.

Re: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
PHP can't help here -- you should do a search on the web for liquid website designs, or check out / borrow some code from other sites you've seen work. Although not valid, I've seen height=100% work on 1000's of sites. Combined with a CSS statement, you should be able to cover all browsers.

Re: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
Thanks to all those who replied here and directly. I have realised PHP isn't going to do what I want and have gone back to researching using CSS and float tags. Thanks for all the suggestions.
