HTML Table with colspan not working correctly - html

I have 2 HTML tables with exactly the same code in both cases. I have used "colspan" there to differentiate 2 columns on the table. The main table width is colspan 65, and the columns are colspan 5 and 60 respectively. But in the 2 tables, the width of the columns are showing different.
I have tested all the codes. Both table have same code, I have used table-cell property but it is still not working. There was no specified width to any columns either.
Here is the syntax of both of my tables:
<table class="agenda-table" style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr class="agheader">
<th colspan="65">Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">xxx</td>
<td colspan="60">
<h4>yyy</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5">aaa</td>
<td colspan="60">
<h4>bbb</h4>
</td>
</tr>
....
</tbody>
</table>
You can check the live page here.
You can see 2 tables are there. 1st column of both tables are of different width irrespective of same code.
Thank you for checking.

Your page suffers many errors as you can see on this unicorn test result:
https://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_task=conformance&ucn_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.learnx.net%2Flearnx-agenda%2F&ucn_lang=en
There are many parse errors, unclosed tags which could lead to errors
like this.
Why are you using inline code if you´re using css classes to style the table?
In your pages css i´ve found this definition:
.agenda-table {
max-width: 96%;
margin: 100px auto 0;
}
so why are defining the witdh with inline code again?
style="width: 100%;"
I´ve taken your the code from your question and replaced
the inline code with classes and added some css.
css example:
* {
margin :0;
padding :0;
}
.agenda-table {
margin : 0 auto;
width : 100%
}
.agheader {
float : left;
width : 65%;
background : #f442bc;
}
th, tr {
float : left;
width : 100%;
text-align : left;
}
.left {
float : left;
width : 5%;
border-right : 1px solid #f442bc;
}
.right {
float : left;
width : 60%;
}
example html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
</head>
<body>
<table class="agenda-table">
<tbody>
<tr class="agheader">
<th>Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left">xxx</td>
<td class="right">
<h4>yyy</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left">aaa</td>
<td class="right">
<h4>bbb</h4>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table class="agenda-table">
<tbody>
<tr class="agheader">
<th>Title</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left">xxx</td>
<td class="right">
<h4>yyy</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left">aaa</td>
<td class="right">
<h4>bbb</h4>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Here is a fiddle that shows that this example works: https://jsfiddle.net/Thorske/bL5ktrga/11/
The float definition may not be necessary since it´s a table but
this would allow to easliy switch from tables to lists.

Use an equal percentage width in the first row of each table.
<table class="agenda-table" style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr class="agheader">
<th style="width: 35%">xxx</th>
<th>Title 1</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>xxx</td>
<td>
<h4>yyy</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>
<h4>bbb</h4>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table class="agenda-table" style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr class="agheader">
<th style="width: 35%">xxx</th>
<th>Title 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>xxx</td>
<td>
<h4>yyy</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>
<h4>bbb</h4>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

table fixed header and first column with scrollbars

What i'm trying to achieve here is to lock the HEADER and FIRST COLUMN so I can see what day it is and which name i'm under at all times while scrolling up/down or left/right.
I have tried some jquery plugins that make this happen but when the table cells are excessive, it tends to timeout on IE...so i would rather do this with PURE CSS..
Anyone have some valid input on this?
JSFIDDLE:
http://jsfiddle.net/dd5ysjus/15/
i would paste code here but its too much...
here is my css:
div.horizscroll {
overflow: scroll;
width: 600px;
height: 150px;
}
.header {
background: #D7DF01;
}
its hard to find things in it but anyway
add class fix which you want to fixed
.fix{ position:fixed; background:#fff;}
and
div.horizscroll {
overflow-x: scroll;
position:relative;
width: 600px;
}
hope it will help
Try this
<html>
<style>
table{border-collapse:collapse;}
table th{width:100px;}
.container{overflow:scroll;border:solid 1px red;width:700px;height:300px;}

.inner-table tr td{padding:53px;background:#ccc;}

It Works!
But you must set the row height inside the container row according to your data needs.
You can also achieve this by changing html structure, please check your updated fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/dd5ysjus/12/
<table class="table-intro">
..//here goes titles
</table>
<div class="horizscroll">
...//here all data you have
</div>

Height of a cell according to height of the table

I have the following code :
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- Black Box -->
</td>
<td>
<!-- Search Box -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan='2'>
<table>
<tr><td class='thead'>Statut</td></tr>
<tr><td><!-- THE TD TO RESIZE --></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td class='thead'>Annonce</td></tr>
<tr><td><!-- Don't Care --></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td class='thead'>Message</td></tr>
<tr><td><!-- Don't Care --></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
It renders like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img689/3140/tbi4.png
But I would like the orange cell under "Statut" to fill the whole height of the containing TD. I tried to apply a height property to the table, the TR and the TD, but nothing happens, be it in HTML with height=... or in CSS with style='height: ...
Here's the render I'd like to have: http://imageshack.us/a/img560/3809/dy4w.png
One could argue that tables are not the best choice here, as they should only be used for tabular data, not for layout.
However, if you decide to go with tables, you should not nest them, but work with rowspan to achieve the deisred result. The HTML would look like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- Black Box -->noir</td>
<td>
<!-- Search Box -->cherche</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='titre'>Statut</td>
<td class='titre'>Annonce</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan='3'>lorem ipsum statut</td>
<td>lorem ipsum annonce</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='titre'>Message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>lorem ipsum message</td>
</tr>
</table>
This way you do not need to bother with heights in css (which can be a pain).
I set up a small example to demonstrate: http://jsfiddle.net/qJQdj/
Try height:100%; to make it takes the total height.
Employing min-height will do the trick for you here if you are content aware of the table.
CSS
td[rowspan="2"] > table{
min-height:80px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/LWxK4/
changed code : convert your code to:
<table>
<tr >
<td class='thead' rowspan='2'>Statut</td>
<td class='thead'>Message</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class='thead'>Message</td></tr>
</table>
it will give you what u want for sure
EDIT: this is the concept of using rowspan.now you should use it to build your own webpage.there are few more cells as well in your code.you can do that using nested tables.my answer shows how to use rowspan properly
If you really wanted nested tables...
You can force a nested table/table-cell to have a minimum height as follows:
Add a class .statut-panel to your inner table:
<table class="wrap">
<tr>
<td>Black Box</td>
<td>Search Box</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan='2'>
<table class="statut-panel">
<tr>
<td class='thead'>Statut</td>
</tr>
<tr class="full-size">
<td>THE TD TO RESIZE...</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table class="annonce-panel">
<tr>
<td class='thead'>Annonce</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Don't Care</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td class='thead'>Message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Don't Care</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
and apply the following CSS:
table td {
background-color: lightgray;
vertical-align: top;
}
table.statut-panel {
border: 1px solid blue;
height: 200px;
}
table.statut-panel .full-size td {
border: 1px dotted blue;
height: 100%;
}
Give the inner table .status-panel a fixed height, say 200px. CSS will treat this as a minimum height so you won't get into any overflow issues as the table content expands.
For the table cell that you want to expand, table.statut-panel .full-size td, simply set the height to 100%, and it will expand in height to at least 200px (or whatever is a good minimum height).

Center a Table inside a TD

I have a very simple problem: I need to center a table inside a TD element. If I were using HTML 4 I'd do it like this:
​<table style="border:solid;width: 100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table style="border:solid; width:50%">
<tr>
<td >I must be in the center</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>​
But I'm trying not to use deprecated attributes and do it the CSS way. I already tried this:
<td style="text-align:center">
And this:
<td style="margin: 0 auto">
And the tables keeps in the left-side of the cell. Any suggestions?
You had the right idea with margin:auto 0; just take off the 0.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/cxnR8/
<table style="border:solid;width: 100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table style="margin:auto;border:solid; width:50%">
<tr>
<td >I must be in the center</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>​
But, more importantly, do you really need to use tables and in-line styling?
Center the table using the deprecated align="" attribute.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td>in the middle</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>​
Your seccond suggestion is correct. See this working example.
HTML:
<table class="outer">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="inner">
<tr>
<td>in the middle</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>​
CSS:
.outer
{
width: 100%;
border: solid 1px red;
}
.inner
{
width: 25%;
margin: auto;
border: solid 1px blue;
}

In Table Fixed Layout How To Give Just One Column A Width Wider Than All The Others?

I am wondering whether it is possible to have a fixed table layout and have one column in the middle with a wider width than all the others...?
I'd appreciate any help! :)
Thanks,
Piotr.
Just add the style=\"width: 20%;\" to the th (or td) tag of that column. Check [1]:
<table style="table-layout:fixed; border: 1px solid black; ">
<tr>
<th style="width:30% ">name</th>
<th style="width:70% ">Color</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>N1</td>
<td>red</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>N2</td>
<td>blue</td>
</tr>
</table>
[1] http://jsfiddle.net/AP5rL/1/
Just set the width attribute on the TD tag corresponding to the wider column.
Example:
<table width="650">
<tr>
<td width="100">normal</td>
<td width="100">normal</td>
<td width="250">wide</td>
<td width="100">normal</td>
<td width="100">normal</td>
</tr>
</table>
Can you add a class to the column that needs a different width? If so, you can use the class to manipulate width:
HTML
<table width="650">
<tr>
<td>normal</td>
<td>normal</td>
<td class="wider">wide</td>
<td>normal</td>
<td>normal</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
td.wider {
width: 250px;
}

In Internet Explorer 7, text-align: right is not taking effect

Is there any way to make the header align towards right?
Tested in Internet Explorer 7 only.
<html>
<style type="text/css">
th {
text-align: left;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="width: 250px;">Tag
<th style="width: 100px; text-align: right;">Duration
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td > one
<td> two
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
First, close your tags. You have a lot of invalid HTML here. Second, you're mixing the table width (100%) as a percentage and the cell widths (250px, 100px) as pixel widths. These two are not compatible. Choose either one or the other and keep it consistent throughout your table.
<table style="width:350px" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="width:250px;">Tag</th>
<th style="width:100px; text-align:right;">Duration</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>two</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You aren't closing your TH tags (or your TD tags for that matter). Fix below:
<table width="100%" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="width: 250px;">Tag</th>
<th style="width: 100px; text-align: right;">Duration</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> one </td>
<td> two </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
