How to create nested cells inside the same table TD - html

Question

I have the following table:-
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach(var permisionMag in Model.PermisionManagement)
{
<tr>
<td>#permisionMag.Name</td>
#{
int i = 0;
<td class="f">
#foreach(var item in permisionMag.TechnologyTypes.OrderBy(a => a.Name)) {
#(i+1) #item.Name
i = i + 1;
}
<br />
</td>
}
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
But currently i need the second column to have nested rows instead of showing the rows inside the same TD? any advice on this?

Answer 1

You can not generate directly table cells, you have to generate a new table inside the second table cell.
You could also render #item.Name as a span/div and style that to create the illusion of a nested table(jsFiddle example).

Answer 2

You can use rowspan on the first column :
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>#foreach(var permisionMag in Model.PermisionManagement) {
<tr>
<td rowspan="#permisionMag.TechnologyTypes.Count()">#permisionMag.Name</td>
#{
int i = 0;
foreach (var item in permisionMag.TechnologyTypes.OrderBy(a => a.Name))
{
i = i + 1;
if( i > 1) {
</tr><tr>
}
<td class="f">
#(i+1) #item.Name
</td>
}
}
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
See expecting result
I hope it helps.

Answer 3

If I understand your question, then you probably want to do this:
#foreach(var permisionMag in Model.PermisionManagement) {
<tr>
<td rowspan="#permisionMag.TechnologyTypes.Count()">#permisionMag.Name</td>
#{int i = 0;
#foreach (var item in permisionMag.TechnologyTypes.OrderBy(a => a.Name)) {
<td class="f">
#(i+1) #item.Name
i = i + 1;
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
}
</tr>
}
}
But it should essentially build you something like this:
----------------
| Name | Item1 |
| | ----- |
| | Item2 |
| | ----- |
| | Item3 |
| | ----- |
| | Item4 |
----------------
