indentation

[Lambneck]

Hello,

Is there a way to make an echo indented?

echo "<table>";

[Andrew Johnson]

Just push tab after the first double quote (kind of hard in a browser though)


echo " <table>";

[Lambneck]

didn't work :(
how about centering?
is there a way to center it?

i tried the following but no luck:

echo "<center><table></table></center>";

What are you trying to do? Indent your code or indent the text on the user sees?

[Lambneck]

Im trying to indent what the user sees.

[Andrew Johnson]

Oh well then next time say that...

Use &nbsp;'s to create non-brekaing spaces


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Weeeeee

[Lambneck]

ok but how would you indent this!:

echo "<table>"
echo "<tr><td><br><font size=\"2\">";

echo (nl2br($row['col_5']));

echo "</font></td></tr>";
echo "</table>";

Are you indenting the output like:
<table>
<tr><td><br><font size="2">
whatever</font></td></tr>
</table>

or output like:
______________
whatever
______________

?

if the second you could do:

echo "<table><tr><td><br><font size='2'>&nbsp;".(nl2br($row['col_5']))."</font></td></tr></table>";


or:


echo "<table><tr><td class='ti'><br><font size='2'>".(nl2br($row['col_5']))."</font></td></tr></table>";


css:

.ti { text-indent: 10px; }

hello,
I tried using:
echo "<tr><td><br><font size='2'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".(nl2br($row['col_5']))."</font></td></tr>";

but it only indents the first line of the paragraph in the output.
Im trying to get everything in the output indented.

(also didn't get any indent at all using the css)

You're looking for padding, indenting is something else...

[Lambneck]

yeah but I don't want padding between the table rows...
is there a way to pad just the left and right sides or even just the left side of the table?

[rafiki]

this is a css question.
and just the left side of the table?
.tablename{
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 10px;

}

thanks rafiki
