Set Column Width in DataList

I have a datalist that displays data from an SQL Server 2000 DB. One of the
fields contains names in the format "LastName FI". When the data is
displayed for that field it seems to base the width of the column on the
longest value of LastName which means I often get the lastname on one line
and the first initial on a second line (I guess is breaks on the space?)

How can I circumvent that second line? I tried adding code to set the column
width but it is not having any effect?

WayneTry putting a <DIV> into the cell. Browsers tend to do whatever suits them
with tables.

Sorry to be dense but I am not clear on how to use a <DIV> tag to prevent a
field from wrapping?

set div width to remaining width of the browser

using float: left and float: right to build a two column page
layout.
<div style="float:left">column 1</div>
<div style="float:right">column 2</div>
then I set the width of the first column to a fixed size:
<div style="float:left; width:10em;>column 1</div>
how can I set the width of the 2nd column, the float:right div, to
fill the remaining space of its container?
I know I can use percentages, but I want the left column to always be
the same fixed length.
Is this a case where <table> is the obvious solution?

thank you. I just read of the margin technique in a very good book I
have:

a lot of CSS positioning seems to be a hack. esp if you dont want to

I assume CSS does not allow one div to reference another for is
position and size? That would seem to be ideal for page layouts.

Set DropDownList Items Alignment

Hi

How can I set my dropdownlist Itmes alignement right rether than left?

I bound them from a database??

my code

<asp:DropDownList width="100%" Runat="Server" ID="ddlCollege" DataTextField="CollegeName" Style="text-align: center;" DataValueField="CollegeID" Autopostback="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ShowDepartmentsEvents"/>

on the behind code I select values from the database??

Can Someone help??

thanks in advance

Setting style="text-align:right" on the dropdown list will work in Firefox, but I don't think there is any way to do this on Internet Explorer 6.

regards

I'm afraid you cannot do that unless you create you own dropdownlist :(

Hope my suggestion helps.

Set html table width at run time (in code)

How can I get a html control in my code?
I have a html table that I want the width is defined in code at run time,

width because the number of columns depends of something that I have (that
is not important for this). Now, what I want is that the html table have
always the same width of my datagrid because of alignment of both.

rucaset its attribute runat=server, but you'll probably still have problems
while tables align width depending on its content... You can hardly create
different tables with same width. The only chance is when content never
exceedes desired table (or better said cell) width.

You will have to set that. I told you in my first answer this is a tough
one. The best suggestion I could give you is to put both (table and
Datagrid) inside another table set both control's width to 100%. They would
perfectly align and everything will depend on the width of the containing
table cell.
And you probably won't have to wory about widths of both parts of the
page... Or better said tables, while a datagris is also a table.
