Horizontally align rows in multiple tables using web user control
- by goku_da_master
I need to align rows in different tables that are layed out horizontally. I'd prefer to put the html code in a single web user control so I can create as many instances of that control as I want and lay them out horizontally. The problem is, the text in the rows needs to wrap. So some rows may expand vertically and some may not (see the example below). When that happens, the rows in the other tables aren't aligned horizontally. I know I can accomplish all this by using a single table, but that would mean I'd have to duplicate the name, address and phone html code instead of dynamically creating new instances of my user control (in reality there are many more fields than this, but I'm keeping it simple). Is there any way to do this whether with div's, tables or something else?
Here's the problem: Mary Jane's address field expands 2 lines, causing her phone field to not align properly with John's and Bob's.
Name: John Doe Name: Mary Jane Name: Bob Smith
Address: 123 broadway Address: Some really long address Address: Short address
Phone: 123-456 that takes up multiple lines Phone: 111-2222
Phone: 456-789
I'm not restricted in any way how to do this (other than using asp.net), but I'd prefer to use a single web control that I instantiate X times at design time (in this example, it's 3 times). I'm using VS2008, and .Net 3.5
