I have an html table of width 222px
Inside in I have a single row with width defined as 160px.
Inside this row, there is a single column having same width as that
of the row.
My question is, how to align this row to the center of the table.
I have tried align="center"and style="float:center;" but these work only
on the contained text.
But if you really, really must use a table, here's how to style it:
.resultset {
width:222px; border:1px solid;
border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:30px 2px;
}
.resultset td {
border:1px solid;
}
Where the 30px in the border-spacing is half the horizontal difference between the table width and the cell width.
See jsFiddle.
Agree with Quentin. There is no point having a 1x1 table.
Try with the following.
<div style="margin: 0px auto; position: relative; width: 222px;">
....your content
</div>
You might want to create a CSS class for the div. I personally don't like having inline styles.
you can try this like that
<table width="222px" align="center">
<td width="31px"></td>
<td width="160px">test</td>
<td width="31px"></td>
</table>
test here : http://www.webmasterorbit.com/wysiwyg-html-tester.html
You must use this
<td align = 'center'>Blah blah</td>
using this wont work
<tr align = 'center'></tr>

Given a <table> with one or many <td>'s with text that is wider than the parent <div>, is there a way to make the table scroll without making the parent <div> use overflow:auto, and still have the table retain 100% width?
I'm hoping for a CSS solution I can apply to ONLY the <table> element (or its children).
Example: See JSFiddle Demo.
CSS:
<style>
#wrapper {
width: 250px;
/* looking for solution that doesn't use overflow auto here */
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
border:1px solid #ccc;
padding: 3px;
}
</style>
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<p>Table should scroll, but not this text.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
<td>....................................................................................</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
<td>..</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
Not modifying the parent div is important in my project because <table>'s are in a <div> with a bunch of other content that I do not want to scroll with it. While I could add a wrapper <div> to all tables in my project, I would also have to rewrite a JavaScript plugin (has to do with paging), which I am trying to avoid.
You can use overflow: scroll on the table itself if you make it display as block:
table {
display: block;
overflow: scroll;
}
Edit:
As the comments below suggest, use td { width: 1%; } as a somewhat-messy way to get the table to still be 100% width if the content is narrower than the wrapper.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/94g53edb/12/
I am just a newbie in css and html, but if I can give my opinion, so there will be two ways in achieving that:
You can set the <p> to the fixed position,
or
You can create another wrapper for the table.
:)
[I'm adding a second answer because the comments on my first answer are going in a different direction than my new answer, and I don't want to derail that train]
Set the table to display: block and overflow: scroll, and give each of the cells a min-width (in pixels) to make up 100% of the container's width.
Here's what it looks like with table content less than the container width: http://jsfiddle.net/94g53edb/8/
Because the cells have only a min-width and not a fixed width, they can expand as needed, pushing the table to greater than the width of the container, and the table will scroll: http://jsfiddle.net/94g53edb/9/
I am trying to show some details of a receive in a table.
I want that table to have a min height to show the products. So if there is only one product, the table would have at least some white space at the end. In the other hand if there are 5 or more products, it won't have that empty space.
I have tried this CSS:
table,td,tr{
min-height:300px;
}
But it is not working.
height for td works like min-height:
td {
height: 100px;
}
instead of
td {
min-height: 100px;
}
Table cells will grow when the content does not fit.
https://jsfiddle.net/qz70zps4/
It's not a nice solution, but try it like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div>Lorem</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div>Ipsum</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
and set the divs to the min-height:
div {
min-height: 300px;
}
The solution without div is used a pseudo element like ::after into first td in row with min-height. Save your HTML clean.
table tr td:first-child::after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
min-height: 60px;
}
In CSS 2.1, the effect of 'min-height' and 'max-height' on tables,
inline tables, table cells, table rows, and row groups is undefined.
So try wrapping the content in a div, and give the div a min-height
jsFiddle here
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:300px">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div style="min-height: 100px; background-color: #ccc">
Hello World !
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div style="min-height: 100px; background-color: #f00">
Good Morning !
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
if you set style="height:100px;" on a td if the td has content that grows the cell more than that, it will do so no need for min height on a td.
Tables and table cells don't use the min-height property, setting their height will be the min-height as tables will expand if the content stretches them.
Setting height on table cells only works correctly, if your td is not using box-sizing: border-box. With border-box it will stay the height you set and content will overflow.
Use content-boxor something else.
I ran into this problem because I used a css-resetter.
Simply use the css entry of min-height to one of the cells of your table row. Works on old browsers too.
.rowNumberColumn {
background-color: #e6e6e6;
min-height: 22;
}
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="htmlgrid-table">
<tr id="tr_0">
<td width="3%" align="center" class="readOnlyCell rowNumberColumn">1</td>
<td align="left" width="40%" id="td_0_0" class="readOnlyCell gContentSection">411978430-Intimate:Ruby:Small</td>
I am looking for a way to specify a table's width by specifying widths of its TDs.
In the following scenario (try it live on jsfiddle) you can see that I have specified width of each TD as 100px and I expected to get a 300px table (and a horizontal scrollbar for div) but in practice browsers give them a width of 63px (that's table's width divided by 3)
Is there any way to make TDs determine the width of table and not other way round? So far I have tried different values of table-layout, display, overflow for TD and TABLE without any success.
The html:
<div>
200px
<table>
<tr>
<td>100px</td>
<td>100px</td>
<td>100px</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
and a minimal CSS:
div {
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
border: solid 1px red;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
td {
width:100px;
border: solid 1px #000;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
A simple solution is make the td's content be 100px wide.
<div>
200px
<table>
<tr>
<td><div class="content">100px</div></td>
<td><div class="content">100px</div></td>
<td><div class="content">100px</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
.content {
width: 100px;
}
Simplest solution appears to be setting min-width instead of width for TDs.
If you're dynamically generating the table, you could just dynamically set the width of the table while you're at it. Just calculate the desired width, and add style="width:300px;" (or whatever) to the <table> tag.
Not that the other options people have posted here aren't also perfectly valid, of course.
I want to create a table that is fully contained within its parent element, but having column widths that are resolved based on their content. If the required length of the table is longer than the content box of the parent element, then a horizontal scrollbar shall appear underneath the table. I tried fiddling with the table-layout and overflow properties, but without success.
HTML code:
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>fixed_length_text</td>
<td>variable_length_text</td>
<td>image</td>
<td>double_float_double_float</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>fixed_length_text</td>
<td>variable_length_text_variable_length_text</td>
<td>image</td>
<td>double_float_double_float</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
CSS code:
div {
padding: 10px;
background: grey;
width: 400px;
}
table {
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 2px;
background: white;
}
tr {
background: green;
}
This is what I have tried on jsFiddle. Is there anyway to combine the best of both worlds?
Try overflow-x:auto;. This applies to just the horizontal axis of the element.
if i understand you right than:

I have a div inside a td. The td has a height. How I can stretch the div vertically - without setting its height explicitely.
<td style='height:200px'>
<div>hello<div>
<td>
I tried setting the vertical-alignment but there is no "stretch" value.
Sample
http://jsfiddle.net/hnBNk/
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td style='height:200px; border: 1px solid red;'>
<div style="border: 1px solid blue;">hello</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
div { /* This is a sample! Of course a class 'my_div' would make more sense */
height: 100%;
}
Try this:
td div {
height:100%
}
how about this?
<td style='height:200px'>
<div style="height:100%">hello<div>
<td>
OK, it is explicit definition, but it stretches according to parent element.
Try this:
<div style="min-height:100%">
It will automaticly stretch if the text needs more space (vertically)
