Column Separation Index Page
« on: December 23, 2012, 02:32:17 PM »
Hi Jacques,

I need a third eye, since I've been going too often over the same page and can't see (find) what's missing.... >:(    >:D
I've made several adjustments to my index page.
Suddenly, the 2 columns are not identical.
Left column is smaller than right, which means data (i.e km/h or mm/hr) is 'pushed' to a second line (see attachment)

Please hava a look at the page (source) if you can find the error (missing part...)

Thanks for releasing me from a 'angry-headache'.... ;)

Cheers,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

Your main page is really fancy now!!  8)
Problem is that width are not defined manually, then browsers try to divide that 100%
width table in parts depending on each parts, then they fight to win more place!

Then you probable be better to specify your own width in the first row
of your table. To do so, simply add a row of that kind:

<tr>
  <col width="200" />
  <col width="100" />
  <col width="200" />
  <col width="100" />
</tr>

You have to define all (4) columns like that (numbers without 'px')
For sure those numbers are only examples... but total width is 630px

Hope this help!

Seasons greetings,
Jacques

HI Jacques,

Great
Thank you so much for taking away my headache.
Will try it our shortly!!

Indeed, I thought 'let's put some additional info (weather alerts) to the page, since the wind was blowing like crazy for the last 2 days (we broke Sandy's Dialy windrun over 24 hrs..!!)
The LED's work well and so do the icons!!!!
On Friday the temp dropped to -2, and the forecast drops on the icon changed into snow..  :)

Thanks again,

Happy Holidays!!

Arthur
