Responsive Blocks

[jhanajc]

Hi all,

 

I have a requirement to arrange fields within a Details datapage into 3 horizontal responsive blocks with captions.

 

I have used the responsive code from the Caspio tech tip and added my own markup in the datapage header.

 

The result when deployed is ok - 3 responsive blocks with shadow borders. 

 

However if I insert the same code in HTML Blocks (1 table per block) in a 3 column section, the spacing is different and I lose the nice responsiveness.

 

How can make it work in HTML Blocks?

 

html below.

 

Thanks!

Further digging reveals that the problem is related to the code resulting in a <table> within a <table>.

 

Within the datapage, if I set the Section columns to 3 and add three HTML Blocks each formatted with the following code (table formats constructed from <DIV>s), it works much better although it might not be the best way to go..

 

Please let me know if you have any other techniques to share! Thanks. Jon.

 

TABLE CONSTRUCTED FROM DIV TAGS:

    <div style="display: table-caption;">

        <p>This is a Table</p>

    </div>

    <div style="display: table-row;">

        <div style="display: table-cell;">

Hi Jon,

 

How are you?

 

I think, that tables may have different width and height depends on the width of the content, colspans and many others things, and divs are not.

I think, your solution is very good. Thank you for sharing it!

Hi Xiang,

 

I've developed it further since, flipped labels and fields horizontally because it looks visually better and dressed it up with styles but the basic idea is the same. Thanks!
