What I'm trying to do is to have a line with two parts, and the last part should be always visible while using text-overflow: ellipsis for the first one. Like this :
[[foo][bar] ]
[[lorem i...][bar]]
So I used display: table for the row and display: table-cell for the parts. And it works fine I add table-layout: fixed to the row, but that leaves empty space in the second cell.
Here is the fiddle containing what I tried: http://jsfiddle.net/ybouhjira/2vWKm/1/
It depend on #wrapper width
go change wrapper width to 400px
and add this code
#cell1 {
width: 20%;
}
#cell2 {
width: 99%;
}

I have a table that displays text fetched from an API using JS and because of that a lot of my cells have different length. I've been trying to create a table with a vertical and horizontal scroll, which I managed to do but I can't seem to figure out how to adjust table row length so that entire text is shown, instead of being cut out. I would like for a cell to have a maximum length and if that length is exceeded the text is shown on the next line. This might not be doable with css only but any solution is welcomed.
Here is a quick look on my issue
Here is part of my CSS for the Match History Table
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.table2 {
position: fixed;
top: 450px;
left: 400px;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 1001px;
overflow-x: scroll;
display: block;
}
.table2 tbody {
overflow-y: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
height: 300px;
}
.table2 td, th {
min-width: 100px;
height: 25px;
border: dashed 1px lightblue;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
max-width: 100px;
}
1st part of your issue is some cells needing longer lengths than others, so you could set the colspan for those longer than the others.
2nd part is by setting a max-width on those columns you can program how they behave when text is too long for the cells width. If you already know which column's cells will need more room, try adding a larger max width for those cells which will affect all cells in that column.
td:nth-child(1) {
width: 100px
}
td:nth-child(2) {
max-width: 400px; /* Comment this line to see the width stretch based on cell's
content */
}
I have included a working example of how you should set colspan and a modified version of your CSS here: https://codepen.io/TxsAdamWest/pen/NWbOwRW
I managed to fix my issue by adding a class with a min-width attribute to the headers that needed their length adjusted and as for the body, since it is generated dynamically using JS I did the same thing using cell.style.minWidth to a specific row.
I'm trying to make a two column CSS table (tried HTML table too) with one row where the first column is one line of text and it expands to fit the content. The second column needs to be a single line of text that is right justified and expands left until it hits the first column and then becomes an ellipsis.
This first column is working with white-space: nowrap;. The second column is the issue:
When the content is longer than the second column max width, it will wrap. Once I add white-space: nowrap; it overflows and ignores the width, max-width and overflow: hidden;
Here is a JSFiddle showing what I'm getting vs. what I'm trying to get. Thanks!

UPDATE
Thanks for the responses, but I found a way to accomplish this using flex box!
https://jsfiddle.net/esodell1/jdykzv5m/13/
So this is how the text-overflow technique works. There needs to be a defined width of it's parent or a closest parent. You'll need to defined a width for your cell such as:
&:last-child {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
width: 85%;
text-align: right;
}
But you'll also have to limit your table since table naturally tries to expand as much as the content in its child requires by using table-layout:
.table {
display: table;
padding: 0.25rem;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
This will make the right column create the ellipsis when the cell reaches 85% of its available width. The problem you'll be faced with is dealing with the left column because you also have no-wrap set on it so that column might actually exceed 15% width and overlap with the right. The issue is both your column is trying not to wrap and fighting for table space, you'll need to apply the same text-overflow technique on the left column. See the the previous and last example here:
https://jsfiddle.net/bhL6sx0g/
To be honest if you're dealing with many columns with dynamic content like this that you don't want wrapping you might want to add a layer of JS on top to do some of your sizing for you else the best option is delegate the actual widths such as a 15/85 split and stick to it.
Edit:
Give width units in vw(viewport width). Notice changes in scss of table(width), first-child( width, min-width) and last-child(width, max-width).
This vw will behaved strangely in jsfiddle, try in .html only.
.table {
display: table;
padding: 0.25rem;
width:90vw;
.row {
display: table-row;
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid gray;
padding: 0.25rem;
&:first-child {
white-space: nowrap;
width:20vw;
min-width:20vw;
}
&:last-child {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
width: 70vw;
max-width: 70vw;
text-align: right;
}
}
}
}

By max-width:100% it can stretch to take full size of parent. You need limit it to some percentage or pixels to achieve desired effect.
Removed width:100% as it was useless and changed max-width:200px
&:last-child {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
/* width: 100%; */
max-width: 200px;
text-align: right;
}
I have a fake table (divs rendered as a table).
There is only one row with 6 cells. The last one of them i set to position: absolute, and the table is set to table-layout: fixed.
Now the plan is to have the 5 first cells take up 20% each and the last one taking up no space. (as it needs to be moved outside of the box).
For some reason the table-layout: fixed also counts in the cell with position absolute meaning that each cell is given around 16% each.
The thing is that I need to be able to use the same css if the table all the sudden goes to 10 (+1) etc.
I have made a fiddle showing off the issue here.
https://jsfiddle.net/nxy0d023/
This is my css (simplified)
.table {
display: table;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
table-layout: fixed;
}
.table div {
display: table-cell;
height: 10px;
}
.table .last {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 20px;
width: 20px;
}
It is possible that I set each cell to a size if needed but that does not work sadly.
You can add width: 100% to the .table div.
jsFiddle
I'm building a list by using a table:
As you can see, the long url, makes the table wider. This is what I want to prevent.
I've used a couple of things like
table { table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; }
and
td.title { white-space:nowrap;overflow: hidden; width: 200px; }
But this did not work.
Also, maybe I need to note that my table is dynamically being made. But this should not be a problem.
Any suggestions?
Just cut the url text (not the href value) at a certain character. With JavaScript you can do that with str.substring(5, 0); where 5 is the number of characters you want left.
This is default behaviour of a table cell. It will always stretch to fit the content's dimensions. width on a table cell tends to behave more like min-width
The fix is to not style the td, but instead its contents only.
Try something like:
td.title a {
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
width: 200px;
}
i've got a problem with display: table-cell; and the space between the cells. I'd like to have dynamically the same width for all cells.
See JSFiddle
How you can see the "Ausstattung & Skizze" is much wider than the others. Is there a way to dynamically set the same width to all cells?
You can use table-layout:fixed; on the parent element which holds display:table;
ul{
display: table;
width: 700px;
table-layout: fixed;
}
This way, every cell will get the same width if you don't force their width, no matter how many cells you have in a row.
(Edit: see this JSfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/m8evqnv0/ )
li {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
}
edit: no need for inline-block, with width:25%
if the width of the unordered list is fixed, then:-
li
{
width: 25%;
}
best practice:- use classes for li and then style the class.
if you want the table to be responsive, use table markups then. it will work like a charm.
