Ok I have a customer that no matter what I tell him wants tabular data in divs these are 2 big tables and I am having a beast of a time making this somewhat dynamic so that no matter what content is put it that it can grow. Some help would be much appreciated.
This is the code I have in an HTML page
This is my styles that are controlling the divs
You can see the result here:
http://client.logoworks.com/imgdc/schedule.html
As you can see everything looks ok until there are 2 lines of text then the border does not grow. I have no idea anymore how to get this to grow. Very Frustrating.
I found some techniques online that say to use display:table-cell and so forth but nothing works.
Any Ideas? <

display:table-cell only works in FF.
Tell your customer that you are the web developer, you don't tell them how to run their business and they therefore have no business telling you how to do your job, it makes absolutley no difference to them or any one else or any thing else for that matter if it is in a table or a div. and strictly speaking since it is tabular data it has no place being anywhere else other than in a table.<

I'm with Huw on this one, you're the programmer, it's your call as to how the site should be programmed. Ask your client if he stands over the chef's shoulder in a restaurant telling him how to cook his meal. If he wants to dictate how the site is programmed, tell him to piss off and build it himself.

I understand guys we have told him multiple times that divs have no place with tabular data. But the sales person who sold it to him told him we would build a 100% div site no tables whatsoever. So I am stuck here.
@ Carefree I just copy and paste text its their job to provide it to me correct.
I hate customers like this he even went as far to telling me that tables are not part of the web standards anymore. lol I got a kick out of that one then I passed the page as HTML Strict with the table in it from W3 and showed him they are perfectly standard. He didn't respond. So I am back at square one I have to do it all in divs.
Side note this is not a personal customer if it was I would kick him to the curb this is for my job so I really have to do what they say I am stuck.<

well, you should go to your customer and explain that your salesman is a tosser and he has no authority to tell a customer how a site will be written either, that is not the salesmans job, it is YOUR jonb to decide how a site should be written as you are the developer, and given the data/layout requirements of his site, it requires tables otherwise it will look stuff.
tables are definately part of the W3C CSS standards. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html
it doesn't matter that it is your job, you must put your foot down now or you may just as well quit. What are they paying you for, your skills or just to be a muppet ?<
