I'm totally stuck trying to figure out why setting a td width attribute in the following table is throwing off the display.
<table style="width:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<big><big><b>Investments By Bruce Wayne</b></big></big>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Date</u></b></td>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Invested</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>Company (and Round)</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>SPV</u></b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The above is rendered with the word "Invested" outside of the table entirely (see screenshot).
Any thoughts on why this might be happening? Thanks in advance!
<table style="width:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<big><big><b>Investments By Bruce Wayne</b></big></big>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Date</u></b></td>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Invested</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>SPV</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>Company (and Round)</u></b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Problem:
All you have to do is to format your code. There is a NON-BREAKING-SPACE between td and style <td style (the one with the Investment text) that destroys the layout. To reproduce you can delete the whitespace and add the whitespace again.
Note:
You have to <big><big> there wrapped - this can be reduced to just one element.
<table style="width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<big><b>Investments By Bruce Wayne</b></big>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Date</u></b></td>
<td style="width:20%;"><b><u>Invested</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>Company (and Round)</u></b></td>
<td style="width:30%;"><b><u>SPV</u></b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Example
This is a "T-account" as shown in the book Principles of Macroeconomics by Gregory Mankiw:
Code
To render this, I took the approach of using nested tables:
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ASSETS</th>
<th>LIABILITIES AND OWNERS' EQUITY</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Reserves</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">200</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Loans</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">700</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Securities</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">100</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Deposits</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">800</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Debt</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">150</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Capital</td>
<td style="text-align: right;">50</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
In my application (with some CSS that comes with Blazor) here's the result:
Question
This seems to work OK, although it seems a bit odd. There's the assumption that the rows in each table will always align, for example.
Is there a better or more idiomatic way to implement the T-account in HTML?
This sounds very similar to previous questions, but I've not found something that matches what I'm trying to do here.
My current code (very verbose with everything in line) looks like this:
td { border: 1px solid black }
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td>
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:red"></td>
<td style="background-color:limegreen;width:30px"></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"></td>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:red"></td>
<td style="background-color:limegreen;width:30px"></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"></td>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:red"></td>
<td style="background-color:limegreen;width:30px"></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"></td>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td style="background-color:red"></td>
<td style="background-color:limegreen;width:30px"></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"></td>
<tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:25%;text-align:center">Some text here</td>
<td style="width:25%;text-align:center">More text</td>
<td style="width:25%;text-align:center">Hi</td>
<td style="width:25%;text-align:center">Somewhat longer text</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I'm trying to accomplish should look like this:
That is, the four main columns should all be the same width, which is the width of the largest content of any of the columns.
The green columns should always be 30px, and the red and blue columns should fill the remaining space each side of that middle column, only up to the width available in the auto-sized outer column.
Setting the internal tables to 100% width makes this happen, but of course the outer table then takes up the entire page width.
I'm also aware that using tables for this is probably not a great idea now we can use CSS, but I'd like to get this example working in tables before 'translating' it.
I'm very opposed to using JavaScript to solve this, for the record!
Edit: I also tried putting all 'subcolumns' in one row, and setting the text to colspan three at a time, with the 25% then applied to that. This ended up confusing the engine, and the width ended up about 75% of the page.
<table style="table-layout:fixed" border="1">
<tr style="font-size: 1px;">
<td width="25%" colspan="3"> </td>
<td width="25%" colspan="3"> </td>
<td width="25%" colspan="3"> </td>
<td width="25%" colspan="3"> </td>
</tr>
<tr style="font-size: 6px;">
<td style="background-color:red"> </td>
<td style="background-color:green"><div style="width: 30px;"> </div></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"> </td>
<td style="background-color:red"> </td>
<td style="background-color:green"><div style="width: 30px;"> </div></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"> </td>
<td style="background-color:red"> </td>
<td style="background-color:green"><div style="width: 30px;"> </div></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"> </td>
<td style="background-color:red"> </td>
<td style="background-color:green"><div style="width: 30px;"> </div></td>
<td style="background-color:blue"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" style="text-align:center">Some text here</td>
<td colspan="3" style="text-align:center">More text</td>
<td colspan="3" style="text-align:center">Hi</td>
<td colspan="3" style="text-align:center">Somewhat longer text</td>
</tr>
</table>
this might solve your answer, your previous code html elements are not properly closed look on that also.
So I am trying to split cells in a table using colspan but I am seeing some odd behavior. In the code bellow the first table does not render as expected.
In particular the row with the 1/4 and 1/2 column are not spanning to 2x25% occupancy and then one that uses the remainder space, and this messes up the proper spanning of the 1/3 cells and 1/2 cells... On the other the second table looks as expected.
I am not sure if this is a bug in Chrome?? it seems to have also hill behavior in IE9, am i missing something here? Is there a better method to get this done?
You can see live version of code at: https://jsfiddle.net/4xwm33n6/
Unexpected alignment:
<table border="1" align="center" cellspacing="0" width="400px">
<tr >
<td colspan="100%" align="center">1/1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
<td colspan="50%" align="center">1/2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="50%" align="center">1/2</td>
<td colspan="50%" align="center">1/2</td>
</tr>
</table>
This works (but two 1/4 cannot be merged as one):
<table border="1" align="center" cellspacing="0" width="400px">
<tr >
<td colspan="100%" align="center">1/1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
<td colspan="33.33%" align="center">1/3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
<td colspan="25%" align="center">1/4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="50%" align="center">1/2</td>
<td colspan="50%" align="center">1/2</td>
</tr>
</table>
To do what you want to do you need something along the lines of:
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="12">1/1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="6">1/2</td>
<td colspan="6">1/2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">1/3</td>
<td colspan="4">1/3</td>
<td colspan="4">1/3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">1/4</td>
<td colspan="3">1/4</td>
<td colspan="3">1/4</td>
<td colspan="3">1/4</td>
</tr>
</table>
This way you can combine the number of cells you need. By the way I got the 12 by using the lowest common multiple of 4 and 3...
Sorry for wrote comment like answer, I can't comment this post :(
colspan mean how many cells You want to merge, not width. You can't set width in colspan.
You should use colspan="#" using a number not a percent.
For example, if you want a td to go across two columns, use colspan="2"
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">4</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
</table>

I'm having this little table of mine, which doesn't seem to work. The CSS will tell all about what height and width I want. Do I do this in a wrong way or what am I missing in this?
And why aren't all the borders aligned?
The table, html and CSS can be seen in this jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/YaKCT/
<table class="stamtavle">
<tr>
<td rowspan=7 class="cell1"><p>Volstrups Casillas</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3 class="cell2"><p>Colman</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Carthago Z</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Rosenquarz</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3 class="cell2"><p>Lucille</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Lordship</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Carna</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=7 class="cell1"><p>Volstrups Corona</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3 class="cell2"><p>Churchill</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell2"><p>Cicero</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Ziska</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3 class="cell2"><p>Volstrups Cartia</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Calato Z</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell3"><p>Sidsel</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
Add this to your table tag
class="stamtavle" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
I think you'd need a different approach to make the spacing between cells work how it was before due to your rowspan layout. This does neaten everything up though.
I am new to HTML and CSS designs. I have the below code.
<html>
<body>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="25%"> </td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
<td width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td >wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td >abcdefdsfds</td>
<td >sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
<td >dsfsdfdsfdsfsdweqw</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="34%">wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td width="33%">abcdefdsfds</td>
<td width="33%">sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The first and second rows have 4 tds of equal width. Now on third row, i wanted to have 3tds with equal width. But it is not working with the above code. Pls help
You should consider using a grid system (like http://960.gs/) instead of tables.
If you still want to use tables, use the colspan attribute:
<html>
<body>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" width="25%"> </td>
<td colspan="3" width="25%"></td>
<td colspan="3" width="25%"></td>
<td colspan="3" width="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" width="33%">wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td colspan="4" width="33%">>abcdefdsfds</td>
<td colspan="4" width="33%">>sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The table above has 12 columns, so for N tds, use colspan="12/N".
<table width="100%" border="5">
<tr>
<td colspan="25%"> </td>
<td colspan="25%"></td>
<td colspan="25%"></td>
<td colspan="25%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="25%">wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td colspan="25%">abcdefdsfds</td>
<td colspan="25%">sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
<td colspan="25%">dsfsdfdsfdsfsdweqw</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="34%">wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td colspan="33%">abcdefdsfds</td>
<td colspan="33%">sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
</tr>
</table>
The way you tried won’t work because it does not correspond to the HTML table model, or any logical table structure. What browsers do in practice is (as you probably noticed) that they treat the row with three cells as if it had a fourth, empty cell. And then they more or less ignore the conflicting width settings.
Among the possible workarounds, the cleanest (and most common) is probably the use of nested tables. You would replace the last row cells by a single cell that spans all the four columns and contains an inner one-row table. The last row could thus be:
<tr>
<td colspan=4>
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td width="34%">wqewqehkjfoiw</td>
<td width="33%">abcdefdsfds</td>
<td width="33%">sdfdsfdsfdsf</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
