Is it possible to use the nth-child selector to target a specific table within it's parent element?
I'm trying to target the 2nd table in a div but it doesn't seem to be working:
#div table:nth-child(2) {
color: blue
}
<div id="div">
<table>
<tr>Table 1</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>Table 2</tr>
</table>
</div>
Your issue could be with the invalid html. You need to wrap the text within td.
<div id="div">
<table>
<tr><td>Table 1</td></tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr><td>Table 2</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
Also make sure you do not have id duplicated.
Here's a working CodePen demo
One more thing to be noted is that this will work only if your table is 2nd child of div, if you want to target 2nd table inside its parent you would need to use nth-of-type(2)
Problem is your invalid HTML
value or item or content should be inside td.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Table 1</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have this table <table></table> and there are many <label></label>'s inside. Is there a way to apply some property to all the labels inside the table but to none of the labels outside.
In other words, I'd like to write something:
FOR each label IN my table:
APPLY: property
PS: I know about the classes, but if I use class, I'll have to use <class= > for each label manually.
Are you just trying to style <label>'s that are inside a table? If so, just use a parent/child selector so only those applicable are styled as follows:
table label {
color: red;
}
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><label>LABEL INSIDE TABLE</label></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<label>LABREL OUTSIDE TABLE</label>
If you add a class to the appropritate table's, you can style labels only in those tables:
table.test label {
color: red;
}
<table border="1" class="test">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><label>LABEL INSIDE TABLE with class TEST</label></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><label>LABEL INSIDE TABLE with no class</label></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<label>LABREL OUTSIDE TABLE</label>
what you need is google more and read more.
it called css selector. you can use it like this
table label{
color:red;
background:green;
}
and so on. the class it self it's to specify what this particular label should do and this label should do. you can find it more in here all about selector
My table has a nested table for one of its rows. I would like both tables to take up 100% of the parent element width. How do I do that?
Demo
HTML
<div class="container">
<table>
<tr class="row">
row 1
</tr>
<tr class="requestDetails row">
<td>
<tr class="requestDetailsHeading">
<td>Headingname</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestRow">
<td>name</td>
<td>date</td>
<td>age</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="row">
<td>gg</td>
<td>dd</td>
<td>ee</td>
</tr>
</table>
Drawing on the other answers, in a roundabout way, yes they do have an element of correctness, unfortunately none of them has the full story.
As Justinas points out, you're not nesting tables, what you're nesting are rows. While row nesting will indeed work, it is actually now not supported under the new HTML5 schemes.
This means that trying to do what you're doing, will simply not validate, and worse will refuse to render correctly on mobile devices.
Working with your existing code:
<div class="container">
<table>
<tr class="row">
row 1
</tr>
<tr class="requestDetails row">
<td>
<tr class="requestDetailsHeading">
<td>Headingname</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestRow">
<td>name</td>
<td>date</td>
<td>age</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="row">
<td>gg</td>
<td>dd</td>
<td>ee</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
You can achieve what you're trying to do by adding a width of 100% to the table's style as others have already pointed out, and by adding a width:100% to requestDetailsHeading class.
However, I'm going to take a guess here, and looking at your other class names (specifically container and row) I suspect you might actually be using the Bootstrap CSS framework. If you're not then perhaps you might want to consider doing so, as it will make the task you're trying to do much easier and you'll have less fiddling about to do.
You can download the various CSS files from
http://getbootstrap.com/
And once you have a page set-up with BS in place, you can get the exact effect you want by using the following HTML
<div class="container">
<table class="table">
<tr> <!-- NOTE: Don't use the 'row' class here as BS3 has another use for that -->
<td colspan="3">
row 1
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestDetailsHeading">
<td colspan="3">HeadingName</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestRow">
<td>Name</td>
<td>Date</td>
<td>Age</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestData">
<td>gg</td>
<td>dd</td>
<td>ee</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Even without bootstrap added however, you'll notice that I've simplified the HTML.
To get the effect you're looking for of a 100% row, above each row of data, you don't need to nest things the way you did, you simply just need to tell the td element how many columns it has to span, and as long as that is equal to the rest of the table, you'll end up with a 100% width header across separate columns. If you decide to use Bootstrap, then BS will take care of giving you a 100% table width, otherwise as others have mentioned simply add a width of "100%" to a class that controls the table itself.
Additional (But not required to solve your problem)
If you decide to use Bootstrap as your CSS framework, there is another way that you can achieve what you're trying to achieve, and that's to use the BS3 grid system.
Using 'container' s, 'row' s and 'col-md-xx' style classes, you could very easily do something like the following:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Row Header Text Goes Here
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">Name</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Date</div>
<div class="col-md-4">Age</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">gg</div>
<div class="col-md-4">dd</div>
<div class="col-md-4">ee</div>
</div>
</div>
Because of the way Bootstrap works, the container will automatically take up 100% of the center column (approx 1024 pixels) and each of your rows will take up the appropriate space in the 12 column grid that's available by default.
Your data rows are set to column widths of 4 grids, as 3 times 4 is 12, and it's easy to repeat the 'div' sections as needed in order to produce as many rows as needed.
Finally, if you use 'container-fluid' rather than 'container' in your outermost div, then your layout will span the entire width of the visible page.
The best part about going the bootstrap route however, is that everything you do using it is automatically responsive, and so will adapt and resize automatically for mobile and desktop as needed, especially if you start using a mixture of 'col-xx-yy' column types, where xx represents the device target size, and yy the number of grid columns you wish to consume.
Fiddle
table{
background-color:white;
width:100%;
}
You don't have nested tables. You have tr > td > tr > td that I think is not valid.
Also, first row don't have td element.
Simply apply width: 100% to all tables:
table {
background-color: white;
width: 100%;
}
.requestDetails {
background-color: red;
}
.container {
width: 600px;
background-color: green;
}
.row {
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
<div class="container">
<table>
<tr class="row">
row 1
</tr>
<tr class="requestDetails row">
<td>
<tr class="requestDetailsHeading">
<td>Headingname</td>
</tr>
<tr class="requestRow">
<td>name</td>
<td>date</td>
<td>age</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="row">
<td>gg</td>
<td>dd</td>
<td>ee</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Just add width: 100%; to the table in CSS.
Updated jsFiddle
Readup: CSS width | MDN
Just update your css like below:
.container table{
background-color:white;
width:100%;
}
If the width attribute is not set, table takes up the space it needs to display the table data. so you have to define the width of table.
so just define the width for table in CSS.
.row, table{
width:100%;
background-color:blue;
}
I'm trying to write some HTML/CSS to display a certain row with some of the elements left-aligned and some of them in the center. This was my HTML code:
<tr class="mainInfo" id="header">
<td> Item </td>
<td> Color </td>
<td> Size </td>
<div class="mid">
<td> Subtotal </td>
<td> Tax </td>
<td> Total </td>
</div>
</tr>
And this is my CSS code:
.mid {
text-align: center;
}
.mainInfo {
font: bold 13px Tahoma;
}
#header {
background-color: #68891;
color: white;
}
But the last three elements are not moving to the center, and I really don't understand why not. I tried putting class="mid" in the <td> tags and that worked, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of DRY?
Fiddle Demo
You cannot put a div instead of td element.
You should validate your HTML code with w3 validator.
If you'll do so you'll see you get this error message:
document type does not allow element "DIV" here; missing one of "TH", "TD" start-tag
Maybe you can do it this way:
<table>
<tr class="mainInfo" id="header">
<td> Item </td>
<td> Color </td>
<td> Size </td>
<td class="center">Subtotal</td>
<td class="center">Tax</td>
<td class="center">Total</td>
</tr>
</table>
JSFiddle example
No, you should not put divs inside tr's or tables.
And you should not use tr's or td's without table-element.
<table>
<tr>
<td>hello world</td>
<!-- This is bare minimum to use tables properly -->
</tr>
</table>
You can insert whatever(not tr or td, but could start new table) you want inside TD-elements though.
It's possible to use other elements to replace these standard ones with css display-property set to table-row etc., but you should stick to conventional tags.
Use colspan/rowspan to span over multiple table columns or rows.
CSS classes are designed to be used as often you need/want to. Only IDs should appear once per page.
Of course you should always keep the DRY concept in mind but in your case it's totally fine. It wouldn't if you would set your .mid class to every <td> because in that case you could just set the properties directly to the <td> element.
middle is not a valid value for text-align, so I'm going to assume, in your CSS, that's meant to be vertical-align. If so, it's because vertical-align will only apply to table cells, not divs - that would explain why it is only being successfully applied to your tds.
Additionally, you shouldn't really put a div inside a table (and shouldn't put a td inside of that) but that's not related to your problem.
Assign one class for left alignment and other for center like so...
.left {
text-align:left;
}
.center {
text-align:center;
}
Asign class to TD elements
<tr class="mainInfo" id="header">
<td class='left'> Item </td>
<td class='center'> Color </td>
</tr>
Hi am trying to add a div above every <tr> but when i look at the html console the div are showing outside the table. below is the html code.
<table>
<div>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</div>
<div>
<tr><td></td></tr>
</div>
</table>
Is this not allowed? any help would be great.
<div> tag can not be used above <tr> tag. Instead you can use <tbody> tag to do your work. If you are planning to give id attribute to <div> tag and doing some processing, same purpose you can achieve through <tbody> tag. <div> and <table> are both block level elements. so they can not be nested.
For further information visit this page
For example:
<table>
<tbody class="green">
<tr>
<td>Data</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody class="blue">
<tr>
<td>Data</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
secondly, you can put "div" tag inside "td" tag.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Further questions are always welcome.
You can't put a div directly inside a table but you can put div inside td or th element.
For that you need to do is make sure the div is inside an actual table cell, a td or th element, so do that:
HTML:-
<tr>
<td>
<div>
<p>I'm text in a div.</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>

No, you cannot insert a div directly inside of a table. It is not correct html, and will result in unexpected output.
I would be happy to be more insightful, but you haven't said what you are attempting, so I can't really offer an alternative.
You can not use tag to make group of more than one tag. If you want to make group of tag for any purpose like in ajax to change particular group or in CSS to change style of particular tag etc. then use
Ex.
<table>
<tbody id="foods">
<tr>
<td>Group 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Group 1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="drinks">
<tr>
<td>Group 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Group 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
In the html tables, <table> tag expect <tr> tag right after itself and <tr> tag expect <td> tag right after itself. So if you want to put a div in table, you can put it in between <td> and </td> tags as data.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div>
<p>It works well</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<table>
If we follow the w3 org table reference ,and follow the Permitted Contents section, we can see that the table tags takes tbody(optional) and tr as the only permitted contents.
So i reckon it is safe to say we cannot add a div tag which is a flow content as a direct child of the table which i understand is what you meant when you had said above a tr.
Having said that , as we follow the above link , you will find that it is safe to use divs inside the td element as seen here
A div cannot be added inside tr but there's an alternate solution here.
I tried adding a div inside tr but it seems a td should be the immediate child of a tr for it to work properly.
Adding a div inside td works fine.
I suppose you are trying to add some background or border-radius for the whole tr. Here's how I achieved the similar result in my project.
I'm using colspan and flex property to achieve that.
.flex-container{
display: flex;
margin: 5px;
}
table{
border: 1px solid red;
}
tr{
border: 1px solid green;
padding: 5px;
}
.flex-container .col{
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 1px solid;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 5px;
background: skyblue;
}
<table>
<tr>
<!-- Assuming you have 4 columns -->
<td colspan="4">
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="col"> Item 1 </div>
<div class="col"> Item 2 </div>
<div class="col"> Item 3 </div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The problem will happen whenever it will render on small device. Element <div> inside <td> will occurs in mobile responsive screen.
You could use display: table-row-group for your div.
<table>
<div style="display: table-row-group">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</div>
<div style="display: table-row-group">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</div>
</table>
I want to put a background image in only 1 cell of the table. When I'm specifying in table tag or in 'style' background is being applied to whole screen. Is it possible to specify different local images to different cells in a table using only html?
Relevant HTML (from comment by the OP):
<table align="center" height=501 border=2>
<tr>
<td height=167 align="center" style="background: (C:\Users\user\Desktop\4R9EF00Z.jpg);">[here]
Apple pie s</td>
<td rowspan=3 width="80%"> <b>Ingredients</b> .........</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table style="width: 100%; height: 300px; ">
<tr>
<td style="background-image:url(http://www.housecatscentral.com/kittens.jpg)">CELL ONE</td>
<td>CELL TWO</td>
</tr>
</table>
Ways to apply the style:
Inline style (usually not the preferred method)
Class selector
CSS2/3 hierarchy selector or pseudo-class
ID selector
Simply use inline CSS on the <td> element of the cell.
For example:
<td style="background: url(/resources/images/background.png);">
Specify your background (using style attribute) for <td> tag (or <th> tag)
You have to specify it to the cell (td tag), not to whole of table.
do it like this:
<tr><td style="background-image:url('yourPath')"></td></tr>
HTML:
<table>
<tr><th>Header 1</th><th>Header 2</th><th>Header 3</th></tr>
<tr>
<td class="cell">Cell 1</td>
<td id="cell">Cell 2</td>
<td style="background-color: yellow">Cell 3</td>
<tr>
</table>
CSS:
.cell {
background: url(http://forum.php.pl/uploads/profile/photo-50953_thumb.png);
}
#cell {
background: url(http://forum.php.pl/uploads/profile/photo-50953_thumb.png);
}
Preview here: http://jsfiddle.net/384An/
With CSS there are two ways, assign an id to the cell:
#tableCellID {
background-image: url(path/to/image.png);
}
Or use nth-child:
tbody tr:nth-child(2) td:nth-child(3) {
background-image: url(path/to/image.png);
}
Combining both approaches in one JS Fiddle demo.
If you must use in-line styles (and I heartily recommend avoiding this if you can):
<td style="background-image: url(path/to/image.png);">...</td>
Or, possibly (but it's deprecated):
<td background="path/to/image.png">...</td>
But, please note that I do not recommend, or support, using either of these approaches. Certainly the final approach is horrible, but if it's the only approach you can take then...just don't tell me you used it. It's horrible, and it'll keep me awake for days feeling guilty.
Updated the previous JS Fiddle demo.
