Hi! I am making a chat program, I am currently making the online list. All elements (users that are online) should have one gray solid background, that also is wide. so it don't look like this;
How should I do that? all the backgrounds should be just as long as each other.
Jump to PostYou can enclose it in a table and set absolute table width that way, each user name (data) will be confined or constrained within the specified table width.
Jump to PostHmm, I wouldn't use tables. An unordered list would probably be the way to go. background-color on the 'ul' element should do the trick.

I used tables and that worked best. Thanks!
hm or... it is not so good. look at this
how to chose the distance between the TDs?
EDIT: it was just that I had one BR between all the TDs :)
Leave the table out.
ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-color: red;
}
li{
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}change the margins/padding to suit you
