html width not working

[tolkienarda]

hi all
i am printing out a bunch of html code with a php script and i am not sure if my html syntax or my php syntax, everything works and displays the way i want but the width tags for the text inputs don't work, anyway here is the php code that prints the html
[PHP]
$result = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM costs");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row ($result))
{
$final = $row[2] + $row[3];
$savings = $row[5] - $final;
echo '<tr>';
echo '<form action="process .php" method="post">' , "\n";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='id' value='$row[0]'>","\n";

echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">', $row[1], "</td>\n";
echo '<td bgcolor="#f2e1c d"> <input type="text" name="quan" width="10" value="1"></td>', "\n";
echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$', $row[2], "</td>\n";
echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$', $row[3], "</td>\n";
echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$', $final, "</td>\n";
echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$', $row[5], "</td>\n";
echo '<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$', $savings, "</td>\n";
echo "<td bgcolor='#f2e1c d'><input type='submit' value='Calculat e'></td>\n";

echo "</form>\n";
echo '</tr>';
}
[/PHP]

just for ease below is the html that is printed, this is coppied from the Firefox DOM inspector

[CODE=html]
<tr><form action="process .php" method="post">
<input type='hidden' name='id' value='2'>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">Letter 1oz</td>
<td bgcolor="#f2e1c d"> <input type="text" name="quan" width="10" value="1"></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.312</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$0.078</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.39</td>

<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$0.41</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.02</td>
<td bgcolor='#f2e1c d'><input type='submit' value='Calculat e'></td>
</form>
</tr><tr><form action="process .php" method="post">
<input type='hidden' name='id' value='3'>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">Letter 2oz</td>
<td bgcolor="#f2e1c d"> <input type="text" name="quan" width="10" value="1"></td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.437</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$0.078</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.515</td>

<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">$0.58</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">$0.065</td>
<td bgcolor='#f2e1c d'><input type='submit' value='Calculat e'></td>
</form>
</tr>
[/CODE]

and above all of the php code and fancy stuff is some simple html that starts the table off with some table colom titles here is the code for that

[CODE=html]
<table align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">Product</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d" width="75">Quan tity</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">Postage &amp; <br> Handeling</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">Postage <br> Application</td>

<td align="center" bgcolor="#dbb47 b">Final <br> Cost</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#f2e1c d">1st CL<br>Postal<br >Price</td>
<td align="center" bgcolor='#dbb47 b'>Savings <br> Bottom <br> Line</td>

<td>&nbsp; </td>
</tr>
[/CODE]
Note: this is the same table and is actualy above all that other stuff

Try using style="width:10 em;" or style="width:10 px;" instead of width="10".

hmm that didn't seem to work and i am starting to wonder if the problem is elsewhere in my html code because no width attributes seem to work, that is i have tried to resize the <td>'s to force the size of the inputs down but that didn't work either.

Did I ever tell you about the time when I downloaded a backup copy of the site we were working on, synced all the changes (this was before we had version control on our server), uploaded the new version and deleted the backup copy... and then found out that I had actually deleted the synced copy and re-uploaded the original!

If not, I just did. A month later, it's a miracle that pbmods still has a job!

Glad to hear that you got your issue hammered out. Keep 'em coming!
