I am having a problem with a table

  • First let me tell you I am NOT a novice at WP, I have just taken on this responsibility to help my husband as he lost his person that kept up his website. So I am learning as I go. I have updated a page on on his website listing his schedule of events, and having a terrible time lining up the table. I have copied exactly the way it was for the schedule last year but for some reason it will not line up properly. Could you please go to the website at doublekproductions.com and click on the show schedule tab. The table is good except for the lines that have the red FREE in front of them. I cannot get the word FREE in without getting the whole line out of wack. Do I just need to change my font? It all fit there for last years schedule when someone else who knew what they were doing made it. All I did was change the dates and some names. Please help! I have been working hours and finally found this site. I am using html. Thank you

  • Lavine, it’s back to basics when it comes to tables eh… lol. Your table has been setup to only accommodate 6 columns, otherwise known as ‘td’.

    You are adding an extra column on rows (tr’s) that require the “Free” text. That is causing the browsers to render it incorrectly and push the columns out by one extra. Instead of adding another column, why not add a line break in the day column for each free row? Example:

    Instead of

    <tr>
<td class="free">FREE</td>
<td class="day"><a href="https://doublekproductions.com/pdf/063012OakBrookCorvette.pdf">6/30</a></td>
<td>Sat</td>
<td>Oak Brook</td>
<td>4th Annual Corvette Show @ Oak Brook Promenade</td>
<td>3041 Butterfield Rd @ Myers Rd</td>
<td>10:00am-3pm<br />
</tr>

    Do this

    <tr>
<td class="day"><span class="free">FREE</span><br /><br /><a href="https://doublekproductions.com/pdf/063012OakBrookCorvette.pdf">6/30</a></td>
<td>Sat</td>
<td>Oak Brook</td>
<td>4th Annual Corvette Show @ Oak Brook Promenade</td>
<td>3041 Butterfield Rd @ Myers Rd</td>
<td>10:00am-3pm<br />
</tr>

    Hope that helps, happy coding (^.-)
