How to fix the table width content independently? - html

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>

Dynamic cell spacing in HTML table

Okay so I don't even know if this is possible, but I'm trying to accomplish the following design with the use of a <table>:
I know it would be easier to just use a <span> and not even bother with tables, but I figured a <table> would actually make sense here.
This is what I have so far:
table {
text-align: left;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Population:</th>
<td>334,300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Region:</th>
<td>Europe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Capital:</th>
<td>Reykjavík</td>
</tr>
</table>
You could just set a display:flex on tr and it would do the job. Like so:
tr {
display:flex;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Population:</th>
<td>334,300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Region:</th>
<td>Europe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Capital:</th>
<td>Reykjavík</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can reset display values for th and td
table {
text-align: left;
}
th,td {display:inline;}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Population:</th>
<td>334,300</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Region:</th>
<td>Europe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Capital:</th>
<td>Reykjavík</td>
</tr>
</table>

Wrapping table data without table-layout?

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>

css styling table borders looking strange

I encountered strange problem with table styling. Everything at least for me in code seems to be fine. however effects are unexpected.
I have to leave 0.3em margin as this is my student task, but I don't want the lines in the bottom to be separate.
Any webmaster can help? I would be very thankful. Here is peace of my code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Kategoriasystematyczna</td>
<td>Takson</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Domena</td>
<td>eukarionty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Królestwo</td>
<td>zwierzęta</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gromada</td>
<td>ssaki</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Podgromada</td>
<td>ssakiżyworodne
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Infragromada</td>
<td>łożyskowce
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rząd</td>
<td>parzystokopytne
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rodzina</td>
<td>żyrafowate
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rodzaj</td>
<td>Giraffa(Brünnich,1771)
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gatunek</td>
<td>żyrafa
<td>
</tr>
</table>
and style
td{
border:1pxsolidblue;
margin:0.3em,0.3em,0.3em,0.3em;
}
table{
border:1pxsolidblue;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
And this is how my table looks like
Anyone? Antyhing?
you have opening tags instead of closing tags td:
change
<td>Gatunek</td>
<td>żyrafa
<td>
to
<td>Gatunek</td>
<td>żyrafa
</td>
in various places
As mentioned in my original comment to your answer (prior to deletion for redundancy), the problem is the syntax errors of unclosed <td> elements (possibly typos), correcting your HTML fixes the problem. Corrected HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Kategoriasystematyczna</td>
<td>Takson</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Domena</td>
<td>eukarionty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Królestwo</td>
<td>zwierzęta</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gromada</td>
<td>ssaki</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Podgromada</td>
<td>ssakiżyworodne</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Infragromada</td>
<td>łożyskowce</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rząd</td>
<td>parzystokopytne</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rodzina</td>
<td>żyrafowate</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rodzaj</td>
<td>Giraffa(Brünnich,1771)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gatunek</td>
<td>żyrafa</td>
</tr>
</table>
JS Fiddle demo.
Also, your CSS is problematic, you have commas between the values of your margin property-values and no spaces to separate the properties of the border; fixed, it should look like:
td {
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 0.3em;
}
table {
border: 1px solid blue;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

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).

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;
}
