I need to place a text with no spaces into left cell of my table, but I want to keep the size of the cell. Below is graphics example of what I want to achieve:
I tried different word-wrap settings but it only works for divs and not the cell table.
fix the size of left div with css using width.

I've got a table row which has 3 columns now. text text image(with cellspan=2 and rowspan=2)
How can I remove that padding from the right inside the td.
Basically I want to push the image to the left.
img is inside td too
the problem here is, Verticle- align try to change the values as you wanted
example code
vertical-align:baseline;
assigned generally applies to common html elements. with this change, Now everything works as supposed to.
If you want to effect the entire table, you can remove explicit width from all <td>s, and then the text will take as much space as it actually needs.
If you want to effect only one row, you can put the text and the image inside the same <td colspan=2> instead of two separate <td>s
I have to add data to table cells dynamically. But when I add data to one cell, the height of all the other cells also increases. So, is there any way that the height of only that cell where data is added increases, rest remain same.
Also is there any way to insert only table cells beneath certain cells in a row without adding a new row?
embed the content in each cell within a DIV and enable overflow:auto on that div, so that a scroll bar appears if the height exceeds the maximum permitted.
<table><tr><td height="50"> Hello World!!</td></tr></table>
Put the height inside the td tag
Fundamental problem... tables are grids. You can merge cells (col/rowspan) but a line is always a line - which is to say you can't make a cell a different height to its neighbours by definition.
If you're trying to show data in a hierarchical way, use a hierarchical structure like <ul>/<li> and style it as appropriate (margins, etc...). If you need block elements, have each <li> wrap a <div>

I have a table for which one column will sometimes contain extra-long content. Normally I want the table to stay at its natural width (i.e. not filling its container). However, if the natural width would be larger than the container, I want to cut off the extra-long content with an ellipsis. As shown in the link, I've tried what I think is the correct way of doing this, but it doesn't work: The table just keeps growing past the width of its container. Any ideas or suggestions?
Edit: The width of the table's container is not fixed, just as it is in the JSFiddle interface.
Set max-width:300px; on td.long (or whatever width you want)
Like the title says, I have a table with many rows and columns. The text within the cells will be populated dynamically. If a column has a set width and the amount of characters exceeds this width, I want the excess text to be hidden rather than the column made wider. How can i achieve this? i tried overflow:hidden in the <td> style without success.
you need to put div inside td - div can handle overflow: hidden
Or make table layout fixed using table style - this will cause table will not change columns width automatically
I have an HTML page with a section across the middle of it. This horizontal section uses a <table> and has a custom background image that needs to repeat horizontally across the entire section. This table has 5 elements in it. These elements are statically sized to 140px.
My problem is, I can't get the image to repeat across the remaining space. It's as if the table doesn't stretch the entire width. However, if I set the table width to 100%, the table cells grow beyond 140px.
What do I do? I want the table to fill the entire space. But I want my cells to remain a constant size, and I want the background image to be used.
Thank you!
A <table> is only as big as the cells inside it. So, if you’ve got 5 cells, each 140 pixels wide, the table will only be 700 pixels wide: it won’t stretch across the full width available to it.
You could wrap the <table> in a <div> and put the repeating background image on the <div>, if the 6th cell solution doesn’t work or isn’t preferable.
The sizes of background images are irrelevant to CSS, no help there. Maybe you can hack something in JavaScript, otherwise you will have to know how large your background image is.
Consider wrapping the middle section in a div and applying the background image to the div. Then set the width of your td elements in the table to 140px.
Here is an example. Clearly, you will need to reference your image instead of flurries.png (which is not part of the fiddle so it does not show).
Add a 6th cell and don't specify any width. This will keep the 5 cells at 140px and the 6th cell will be stretched to the end when table width is set to 100%.
