Table width in IE 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0

Hi Limesurvey team,
I was trying to use some tables in my survey. The tables I have created works fine in Firefox, but when I try to test it in IE the tables are out of format.

I am using the width of a box as a variable which varies according to an answer from previous question, here is what I coded

Code:



<td width="{INSERTANS:44745X178X94857}%" bgcolor="#ffff00">&nbsp;</td>

this worked fine in Forefox, when I tested on IE it is converted to:

Code:



<td bgcolor="#ffff00">&nbsp;</td>

why would IE change the format? is there a way it can be fixed ?

thank you,

regards,
Premc

premc , if you're prepared to use a little JS you could do this:

Set up your survey to use JavaScript, give your table cells IDs and then add a small script to manipulate the styles after the page loads.

So the source of the question would look something like the following.

Code:



<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

	

    $(document).ready(function(){

        $('td.myCell1').css({

            'width':'{INSERTANS:17792X128X5621}px',

            'background-color':'#FFFF00'

        });

		

        $('td.myCell2').css({

            'width':'{INSERTANS:17792X128X5621}px',

            'background-color':'#00FFFF'

        });

    });

	

</script>



<table id="myTable">

    <tbody>

        <tr>

            <td class="myCell1">&nbsp;</td>

            <td class="myCell2">&nbsp;</td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

            <td class="myCell1">&nbsp;</td>

            <td class="myCell2">&nbsp;</td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

            <td class="myCell1">&nbsp;</td>

            <td class="myCell2">&nbsp;</td>

        </tr>

    </tbody>

Hi Tony,
thanks a lot for your reply.

I am using the % because my one of the attributes for my alternatives is variability which changes according to another attribute.
Since it is kind of difficult for the survey respondent to interpret this, I am using a picture to describe the choices for each question. In the picture, the variability is shown as a shaded area around the mean value of the other attribute.
for example:
alt1: attribute1=20, var = -5 to +5 ==> 25%
alt2: attribute1=40, var = -15 to +15 ==> 37%

Again it is difficult to generate picture for each alternative, so I have discretized the picture into a table in which the cell representing the variability changes its width according to the variability value. This is the only method I figured will work for my representation.

I am already using JS for my survey, so I will try the code you provided and will let you know the results.

Thank you again,

regards
Prem
