Re: [WSG] Using ellipsis to indicate truncated overflow content

2011-11-23 Thread Oliver Boermans 
You could possibly use JavaScript to implement it in browsers that don’t 
support it.
I’ve seen a few jQuery plugins written for the purpose. For example:
http://dotdotdot.frebsite.nl/

I’ve not used it myself.

Option 1:

Try making the two chunks of content into two individual paragraphs within the

they are two short paragraphs  :)

Depending on how the margins have been defined for your paragraphs, this should 
give you 1em of margin below each paragraph. If not, you could always set a 
rule like:

td p { margin: 0 0 1em; }
or
td p { margin: 1em 0; }

or if you want it to be more specific:

.Table_Text p { margin: 0 0 1em; }

Option 2:

Use rowspan:


Client / solicitor
Bad advice
Economic loss


Client / accountant


This is possibly more semantically correct than using paragraphs (without 
knowing what you are doing with the table) as these look like two separate 
options that are both able to be associated with data in other cells. The 
downside of this method is that you may have to add an additional class on one 
of the cells so that you can turn off borders between the two "client" cells.

Re: [WSG] Breaks within table cells

2011-11-23 Thread Phil Archer 
So you're just trying to create a blank line between Client / solicitor 
and Client / accountant ?


Two ways to do that I'd say:

use two  elements (i.e. Client / solicitorClient / 
accountant


or two paragraphs:

Client / solicitor
Client / accountant

The latter creates two block level elements that you can style with 
extra padding or whatever.

Someone will be able to

  td.Table_Text {padding-left: 15px; text-align: left;}

[WSG] Breaks within table cells

Hello,

I would be grateful if someone could help with this, as I'm not a
tables expert.

I want to separate two separate entries in the one cell, to indicate
alterntatives. Like this (see picture):



The coding for this part of the table looks like this:

Client / solicitorClient /
accountant
Bad advice
Economic loss

Unfortunately, I have not been able to style the left-most cell so
that it looks like the picture attached. I tried to style the
 using the line-height property but this only worked in
Google Chrome.
