My code is this :
<div style="width: 300px;">
<table width="100%" border="2px solid blue">
<tr>
<td style="width:30%">Player</td>
<td style="width:30%">Club</td>
<td style="width:30%">Country</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%">HazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazard</td>
<td style="width:30%">Chelsea</td>
<td style="width:30%">Belgium</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Ronaldo</td>
<td>Real Madrid</td>
<td>Portugal</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Messi</td>
<td>Barcelona</td>
<td>Argentina</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
The result is this :
I tried to add width=30% in the column player, but it's still not working.
it's beacause your text is too large
use this may help you
<style>
table tr td
{
word-break: break-all;
}
</style>
Moob was before me, use word-wrap:break-word; but also use table-layout:fixed
css code
table{
table-layout: fixed;
}
td {
word-wrap:break-word;
}
That's because "HazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazardHazard" is stretching it.
Table cells will stretch to fit their content, and if they can't break, they will keep stretching.
If it was "Hazard hazard..." etc with spaces, it would break as expected. The same would happen if you put a large image in the table cell.

I need to wrap text within a <td> element, but I can't use the css table-layout property as the output is to html e-mail body and Outlook doesn't support the table-layout property.
Is there some other way to wrap text within a <td> element, or do I need to do the line breaking and measuring manually in code?
Here is an example of what I am trying to acheive:
td {
border: solid black 1pt;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 10pt
}
thead td{
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse
}
<html>
<body>
<table style="width:35pt;height:24pt;table-layout:fixed">
<thead>
<tr>
<td style="width:35pt;height:12pt">Good</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:35pt;height:12pt;word-wrap:break-word">Costingly Cost Cost</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div style="height:50pt"></div>
<table style="width:35pt;height:24pt;">
<thead>
<tr>
<td style="width:35pt;height:12pt">Bad</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:35pt;height:12pt" nowrap>Costingly Cost Cost</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Use the Microsoft proprietary word-break:break-all;
<td style="word-break:break-all;">
That should fix things.
You can try this:
<tr>
<td nowrap>Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything</td>
<td>Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything</td>
I got a table with a couple <td>:
<table>
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I want to do is to place the "Third" <td> (with the div) to the right side of the table and the "First" and "Second" <td> should stay left.
Style with float:right; didn't work for me...
You need to make your table's width 100%, then control the widths of your first 2 columns, and finally right-align your third column.
http://jsfiddle.net/25Mqa/1/
<table>
<tr>
<td class="first">First</td>
<td class="second">Second</td>
<td class="third">Third</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
table { width:100%; }
.first, .second { width:50px; }
.third { text-align:right; }
The problem is that the width of a <table> is determined by its content, by default. If you want the <table> to span 100% width (of its containing block) like block-level elements do, you can either add table-layout: fixed; and then specify your width - or just give it a width, depending on what you're after, e.g.
table {
width: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/QEaAd/2/
try add style="text-align:right;"
<table>
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px; text-align:right;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Only if you have 2 divs one near other:
<div id="fr">div1</div>
<div id="fr">div2</div>
you can float them right:
<style>
#fr{float:right;}
</style>
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px; display: block; float: right;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I believe this does what you want, however from what I understand, floating table elements will cause problems in versions of Internet Explorer <8
I dont know what you are trying to do with tables and divs? But I normally use this for emailers.
I use the align attribute for td's. This helps a lot in making sure your layout looks the way you want. And it works in all browsers :)
FIDDLE
HTML:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px;" align="right">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
In Bootstrap 5.2 you can add .text-start and .text-end to your text class to align elements inside a table.
I am trying to fix the width no matter of what the content is. But, the width of the table is changing according to it's content. How can I fix it?
Here is my code:
<style>
table{width:25px; background:#66f;}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td>sn</td>
<td style="width:20px;">Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff</td>
</tr>
</table>
Try this
<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td>sn</td>
<td style="width:20px;">Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td style="word-break: break-all;">Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You need to use table-layout: fixed; and provide width to your table and td elements accordingly.
You should also use word-wrap: break-word; so that you don't get in trouble if you encounter a non-breaked string
Demo
you don't mentioned style class table with dot extension and it won't be called using class attribute.
Here is the code:
<style>
.table{
width:25px; background:#66f;
}
</style>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<td>sn</td>
<td style="width:20px;">Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff</td>
</tr>
</table>
Let's take 4 table columns - ID, Text, Date, Action. In my case table have always constant width - in example 960px.
How can I create such table as :
*-*------------------------------------*----------*----*
|1| Some text... |May 2011 |Edit|
*-*------------------------------------*----------*----*
|2| Another text... |April 2011|Edit|
*-*------------------------------------*----------*----*
As we can see, ID, Date and Action adjust their width to content, Text is as long as possible....
Is that possible to do without setting specific width of columns ? When ID = 123 or Date = November 2011, columns should automatically be wider...
Using a 100% width on the wide td and a fixed width for the table along with white-space:nowrap, this can be done:
Demo
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td width="100%">Some text... </td>
<td>May 2011</td>
<td>Edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td width="100%">Another text... </td>
<td>April 2011</td>
<td>Edit</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
table
{
...
width:960px;
}
td
{
...
white-space:nowrap;
}
basically, it's just like this: http://jsfiddle.net/49W5A/ - you have to set the cell-width to something small (like 1px) to make them stay as small as possible.
but as you'll see, theres one problem with the date-fields doing a line-wrap. to prevent this, just add white-space: nowrap; for your text-field: http://jsfiddle.net/ZXu7U/
working example:
<style type="text/css">
.table{
width:500px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.table td{
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.id, .date, .action{
width:1px;
}
.date{
white-space: nowrap;
}
</style>
<table class="table">
<tr>
<td class="id">1</td>
<td class="text">Some Text...</td>
<td class="date">May 2011</td>
<td class="action">Edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="id">2</td>
<td class="text">Another Text...</td>
<td class="date">April 2011</td>
<td class="action">Edit</td>
</tr>
</table>
My best advice to you is to not touch the widths of the table, the table automatically layouts in a way that does all cells best.
However, if you'd like to push through, I'd use width: 1px; on the cells that needs adjusting (one of each column is enough). Also use white-space: nowrap on all cells. that will make sure the lines don't break.
Try this:
.id, .date, .action is the table cells (td).
CSS:
.id, .date, .action {
width: 1em;
}
It worked for me.
The width:1em will not cut the text but force the width size to the minimum.
The best way that I've found for setting table column widths is to use a table head (which can be empty) and apply relative widths for each table head cell. The widths of all cells in the table body will conform to the width of their column head. Example:
HTML
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th width="5%"></th>
<th width="70%"></th>
<th width="15%"></th>
<th width="10%"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Some text...</td>
<td>May 2018</td>
<td>Edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>Another text...</td>
<td>April 2018</td>
<td>Edit</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
CSS
table {
width: 600px;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
border: 1px solid #999999;
}
View Result
Alternatively, you can use colgroup as suggested here.
I have a table with 2 rows and variable columns. I tried width = 100% for the column. So the first content in the view will fit. But suppose if i am changing the contents dynamically then it is not dynamically increase/decrease the HTML table column size.
If you want the cells to resize depending on the content, then you must not specify a width to the table, the rows, or the cells.
If you don't want word wrap, assign the CSS style white-space: nowrap to the cells.
You can try this:
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td class="shrink">element1</td>
<td class="shrink">data</td>
<td class="shrink">junk here</td>
<td class="expand">last column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="shrink">elem</td>
<td class="shrink">more data</td>
<td class="shrink">other stuff</td>
<td class="expand">again, last column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="shrink">more</td>
<td class="shrink">of </td>
<td class="shrink">these</td>
<td class="expand">rows</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
table {
border: 1px solid green;
border-collapse: collapse;
width:100%;
}
table td {
border: 1px solid green;
}
table td.shrink {
white-space:nowrap
}
table td.expand {
width: 99%
}
Well, me also I was struggling with this issue: this is how I solved it: apply table-layout: auto; to the <table> element.
