I have an HTML table with a column of cells containing two parts e.g.
| Cat (meow) |
+---------------------------+
| Long-dinosaur-name (roar) |
There are also other columns not shown. My users' browsers have unknown widths. On a wide one, I wish to show the cell as one line, as above. If it gets too narrow, I'm fine with wrapping
| Cat |
| (meow) |
+----------+
| Long- |
| dinosaur-|
| name |
| (roar) |
but if one line wraps, all lines must also wrap:
| Cat |
| (meow) |
+---------------------+
| Long-dinosaur-name |
| (roar) |
Without using Javascript, is it possible to do this?
I know I can use <td nowrap> to prevent wrapping, or <br> to force a wrap, but how can I make one cell depend on another?
Try using media query(CSS) with breakpoints. I know you said, the user browsers width's are unknown, but you can anticipate for different width's etc

I have this table in ReST markup:
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Option Line Kind | Distinguishing Characteristic |
+===========================+=================================================================+
| **Reference** | The option name is called a (node) reference, if the value\ |
| | of an option is a predefined keyword for the current node\ |
| | class. Because the option's value is a keyword, it can not\ |
| | be an interpolated value. |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| **Option** | The option uses a defined option name valid for the current\ |
| | node class. The value can be a fixed or interpolated string. |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| **User Defined Variable** | Otherwise an option line is a user defined variable. It can\ |
| | have fixed or interpolated string values. |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
Sphinx (ReadTheDocs theme) generates a horizontal scrollbar instead of breaking the content in column 2. The result is this mess:
What do I need to change in ReST (or the RTFD theme??) to let it break the text?
Edit:
The answer from #aflp91 results in this table:
Add a _static/custom.css file with
.wy-table-responsive table td {
white-space: normal;
}
Don't forget to declare it into conf.py:
def setup(app):
app.add_stylesheet('custom.css')
Works in my test…
You can use CSS property for table:
Overflow-x : hidden;
overflow-y : hidden;
I have a box which contains an image, which has float:left set, and textual contents.
-------------------------------------
|--------- |
|| | |
|| Image | |
|| | Content |
|--------- |
| |
| |
| |
--------------------------------------
Fig. 1
I generally consider it good to have the content float around the image. However, in case of using lists, the following look is annoying:
-------------------------------------
|--------- |
|| | List |
|| Image | |
|| | 1. Item |
|--------- 2. Item |
| 3. Item |
| 4. Item |
| |
--------------------------------------
Fig. 2
I'd rather have it the following way (at least for considerably short lists, let's assume the list is short for now)
-------------------------------------
|--------- |
|| | List |
|| Image | |
|| | 1. Item |
|--------- 2. Item |
| 3. Item |
| 4. Item |
| |
| Additional content (not in list) |
--------------------------------------
Fig. 3
I got the above look by making the list display: inline-block (and either inserting a <br> before the list, or wrapping it in a block-level element)
However, in case of any long list items (longer than the small width of the content field),
the float is cleared.
-------------------------------------
|--------- |
|| | |
|| Image | |
|| | |
|--------- |
| 1. Item |
| 2. A very long item, which makes |
| the list box just as wide as the|
| outer box. |
| 3. More items |
-------------------------------------|
Fig. 4
Why this happens seems clear to me. In the floated environment, first, the list is rendered as a block (because of display: inline-block), using the width of the outer box as environment width. As there is a long items, the resulting block will be as wide as the outer box. In a second step, the block is tried to fit next to the floating image, where it won't fit. Lastly, the float is cleared.
Is there any way to amend the situation? Like, first try to render the list with the shorter width, and if that fails, re-render? Or a completely different way to achieve what I want?
Put the list inside a DIV that is also floated left with a defined width.
Try a plain overflow:hidden on your list - this should do the trick.
See the example.
I have one entire column of a table who's header consists of a question and in the following rows contains only a checkbox...
------------------------------------------------------
| Would you like this text to wrap ? | <rest of row> | <-- <th>
-------------------------------------+----------------
| [] + <rest of row> | <-- <tr>
-------------------------------------+----------------
| [] + <rest of row> | <-- <tr>
It looks unsightly to me. Can I use any markup to "encourage" browsers to render it like this...
---------------------------
| There, | |
| isn't | |
| that | <rest of row> | <-- <th>
| nicer? | |
----------+----------------
| [] | | <-- <tr>
----------+----------------
| [] | | <-- <tr>
----------+----------------
Please note that I do NOT want to force the browser into a particular rendering, just to suggest something - or to be told that it is not possible.
Any solution must work in MS IE 7.
I guess the best you can do is giving a width to the chosen th
here some example code: http://jsfiddle.net/karameloso/aMTNH/
Set width for that column like:
table#my-table th:first-child {width: 4em}
Here is an example
UPDATE.
Changed px to em's as Brock Adams suggests
I am trying to create a page that has a width that adjusts to the screen with a fixed width column on the right. So for example:
| | |
|-------Content------|--Column--|
| | |
| | |
|---Content---|--Column--|
| | |
| | |
|-----Content----|--Column--|
| | |
http://www.reddit.com/ would be a good example of this.
Thanks
This blog is pretty useful for grabbing complex layouts.
ultimate-2-column-right-menu-pixels
this is essentially what reddit does: http://jsfiddle.net/pxfunc/rCG84/
the side div 1.) is above content in the html, 2.) is set to float:right;, and 3.) given a specific width (width:300px)
<div id="side"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
the content div will adjust with the window size
This is a tricky question, but I will do my best to ask it:
I have a middle column of content and I want to add columns to the left and right of it, but I want them to "hug" the middle column. How can I center the middle column always and have the other two columns "hug" it?
The columns have a fixed width of 750px and basically when the viewport is maximized it should be something like this on a big monitor:
-------------------------------------
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | left | mid | right | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
-------------------------------------
and when the window is not wide enough, the left and right columns should get cut-off, but the middle column should still be centered and visible (assuming they don't make it too small horizontally):
-------------
| | | |
| | | |
le|ft | mid | ri|ght
| | | |
| | | |
-------------
Where "le" and "ght" are off-screen and not visible in the viewport.
I'm interested in any ways of accomplishing this. Currently I'm using
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
to center the middle column, but if there are ways to accomplish this without that, by all means =)
Thanks for reading this tricky question. I hope I got my idea across.
(If you can think of a better question title, feel free to edit it. I wasn't sure what to put)
P.S. Each column is actually made up of a few divs itself, (blocks that make up a column), I'm not sure if that makes the problem any easier to solve, or if that totally changes the problem...
Something like this ? http://jsfiddle.net/ndtLX/
i'm using an absolute positioned div above 2 floated divs, each large 50% of the container.
the problem is that on the left and right columns, the off-screen happen on the other side, and not on the same side as you asked...
You could also try floats to see if that gives you what you want
.divLeftCol
{
float: left;
}
.divRightCol
{
float: right;
}
<div class="divLeftcol"></div>
<div class="divCenter"></div>
<div class="divRightcol"></div>
