I have a table where all columns need to be an exact minimum width.
If the table does not fit into it's container div the table will go into a scroll.
This is my setup:
<table>
<tr>
<td class='cell'>1</td>
<td class='cell'>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
.cell {
width: 10em;
min-width: 10em;
}
This works in every browser but IE7 because min-width is not supported, is there a workaround for this?
check this:
http://blog.throbs.net/2006/11/17/IE7+And+MinWidth+.aspx
Its easier than you think:
<table>
<tr>
<td width=60>1</td>
<td width=80>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
http://jsfiddle.net/V8jny/
#div {
width:XXXpx; // the static width u want
height:XXXpx; // the same with the height
overflow:scroll;
}
hope, thats what u're looking for.

I'm making a tabular layout and I really need:
2 columns, of variable width
columns have the same width
columns are no wider than necessary
I have found that "table-layout: fixed" can achieve this, if I set both columns to have "width: 50%". Here's an example:
CSS:
.mytable {
border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout: fixed;
}
.fifty {
width: 50%;
}
HTML:
<table class="mytable" border=1>
<tr>
<td class="fifty">hello</td>
<td class="fifty">x</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="fifty">a</td>
<td class="fifty">longer</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="fifty">reallyreallylong</td>
<td class="fifty">medium</td>
</tr>
</table>
This is exactly what I want, and I'm happy, except that everything goes out the window when this table appears within another table. In that case, all columns shrink to the minimum possible size (at least for my version of Chrome).
Here is a jsFiddle demonstrating my dilemma: http://jsfiddle.net/KTkZm/
Can anyone shed light on this, and hopefully find a way to get the inner table to render as it does outside of the table? Thanks!
Check below jsfiddle link. It's Working Fine.

I have an html table with table-layout: fixed and a td with a set width. The column still expands to hold the contents of text that doesn't contain a space. Is there a way to fix this other than wrapping the contents of each td in a div?
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/6p9K3/29/
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50px;">Test</td>
<td>Testing 1123455</td>
</tr><tr>
<td style="width: 50px;">AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</td>
<td>B</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
table
{
table-layout: fixed;
}
td
{
border: 1px solid green;
overflow: hidden;
}
In the example, you can see that the column with AAAAAAAAAAAA... expands despite being explicitly set to 50px wide.
Specify the width of the table:
table
{
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100px;
}
See jsFiddle
Try looking into the following CSS:
word-wrap:break-word;
Web browsers should not break-up "words" by default so what you are experiencing is normal behaviour of a browser. However you can override this with the word-wrap CSS directive.
You would need to set a width on the overall table then a width on the columns. "width:100%;" should also be OK depending on your requirements.
Using word-wrap may not be what you want however it is useful for showing all of the data without deforming the layout.
Make the table rock solid BEFORE the css. Figure your width of the table, then use a 'controlling' row whereby each td has an explicit width, all of which add up to the width in the table tag.
Having to do hundreds html emails to work everywhere, using the correct HTML first, then styling w/css will work around many issues in all IE's, webkit's and mozillas.
so:
<table width="300" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="50"></td>
<td width="100"></td>
<td width="150"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>your stuff</td>
<td>your stuff</td>
<td>your stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>
Will keep a table at 300px wide. Watch images that are larger than the width by extremes
You can add a div to the td, then style that. It should work as you expected.
<td><div>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</div></td>
Then the css.
td div { width: 50px; overflow: hidden; }
You can also use percentages, and/or specify in the column headers:
<table width="300">
<tr>
<th width="20%">Column 1</th>
<th width="20%">Column 2</th>
<th width="20%">Column 3</th>
<th width="20%">Column 4</th>
<th width="20%">Column 5</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<!--- row data -->
</tr>
</table>
The bonus with percentages is lower code maintenance: you can change your table width without having to re-specify the column widths.
Caveat: It is my understanding that table width specified in pixels isn't supported in HTML 5; you need to use CSS instead.
You can also work with "overflow: hidden" or "overflow-x: hidden" (for just the width). This requires a defined width (and/or height?) and maybe a "display: block" as well.
"Overflow:Hidden" hides the whole content, which does not fit into the defined box.
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/NAJvp/
HTML:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><div>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</div></td>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>cccc</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
td div { width: 100px; overflow-y: hidden; }
EDIT: Shame on me, I've seen, you already use "overflow". I guess it doesn't work, because you don't set "display: block" to your element ...
I would try setting it to:
max-width: 50px;
This works for me
td::after {
content: '';
display: block;
width: 30px;
}
Why does this table height not function?
<table border=1 bgcolor="green" width=80% height="30%">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" >
This is 1st row 1st column
</td>
<td >
2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
http://jsfiddle.net/zQNS4/
just add the following to your css:
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
As other said, a table doesn't have a height-attriute, but most browsers intrepet that anyway. you can see the result on jsfiddle.
The reason you need to do this is that the parent element of anything that should have a height in % must have a height too (as Shadow Wizard said: "30% of what exactly?" - the parent has to have a height).
The table tag does not contain a height attribute. Try setting the height of the table using CSS styling.
table{
height: 30%;
}
<div style="height: 200px; overflow-y: scroll;">
<table border=1 bgcolor="green">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" >
This is 1st row 1st column
</td>
<td>
2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
I just had the same issue.
I have table inside a container ( div config-table ), just setting height didn't work for me. I had to set overflow: auto ( for my case auto was needed ) and now work
.config-table {
height: 350px;
overflow: auto;
}
I have this code :
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:415px">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td style="font-family:Arial;min-height:60px;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;">
This is my text that I need in 2 lines
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td style="font-size:12px;line-height:14px">
Second Line
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
As you can see, the first tr/td should be height 60px (min-height:60px) but in fact it isn't.
For many reasons, I can't use height directly (this code is formatted trought back office system, in a newsletter).
So, how can I take the whole height on the td trought min-height?
Also, tried putting min-height:60px; on tr, but nothing change...
min-height doesn't work for table elements:
In CSS 2.1, the effect of 'min-width' and 'max-width' on tables, inline tables, table cells, table columns, and column groups is undefined.
I can only assume this applies to td and tr as well.
What should always work is wrapping the content in a div, and applying min-height to that, as shown in this JSFiddle:
<td style="font-family:Arial;min-height:60px;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;">
<div style="min-height: 60px; background-color: green">
This is my text that I need in 2 lines
</div>
</td>
Edit: You say this doesn't work with Outlook.
Alternative idea: Place a 60 px tall image in the td, and make it float: left:
<td>
<img src="..." style="float: left">
</td>
Use <td height="60"> not CSS height or min-height
For HTML email set your table cell as <td height="60"> and it will treat that as the min-height. If your content is more than 60px, it will expand accordingly.
Put a DIV in the cell, style the DIV instead.
Min-height doesn't works on tables.
It is sometimes useful to constrain the height of elements to a certain range. Two properties offer this functionality: min-height & max-height
But these can't be used on non-replaced inline elements, table columns, and column groups.
You can't set min-height and min-width, but you can use some CSS3 for achievements this same effect.
.default-table table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.default-table table td {
padding: 0;
}
.default-table tr:before {
width: 0px;
content: '';
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
height: 28px;
font-size: 0;
}
.default-table {
overflow: hidden;
}
<div class="default-table">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Steve</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>stevesmith#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jone</td>
<td>Polanski</td>
<td>jonep#gmail.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
but if u having collapse or padding in td. You must give for .default-table table minus margin-left.
HTML :
<table></table>
CSS :
table{
height:0px; /*Set any facultative length value to Height (percentage value doesn't work)*/
min-height:100vh;
}
That's how I always resolve this problem ...
Add display block
<td style="font-family:Arial;min-height:60px;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;display:block;">
Here's a solution that works in Outlook (tested) and other e-mail clients:
<td style="mso-line-height-rule:exactly;line-height:300px;"> </td>
This is cleaner than using an image, which could negatively affect your spam score, and does the exact same thing.
If you have other content in the <td> that you don't want to have that line height, you can just wrap the non-breaking space in a <span> and set the line-height on that tag:
<td><span style="mso-line-height-rule:exactly;line-height:300px"> </span>**Other content without 300px line-height here**</td>
The reason height or min-height works on <div> tags and not <td> is because <td> are set to display:table-cell and do not respect height the same way that display:block (<div>) elements do.
I have resolved this issue by adding display:block; to its style as
<td style="display:block; min-height:200px;">
min-height does not work in td, Set height that will work like min-height and automatic increase height if needed. That is worked for me
Here is a solution that does not depend on the height in pixels. It works in all email clients:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:415px">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;">
This is my text that I need in 2 lines
</td>
<td style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:14px;">
<br/><br/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td style="font-size:12px;line-height:14px">
Second Line
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
The solution works by adding a zero-width column with two lines to the right of the first one. It uses the character, which is a non-breaking zero-width space.
It may be reviving a 2012 post, for those who searched and found this post like me:
Note: Check these addresses for the email client support before using this method, at the time of writing this answer, the support was around 50% -ish.
E-mail client support range of :first-child
E-mail client support range of ::before
table tr:first-child td:before {
min-height: 100px;
display: block;
content: ""
}
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
What I found !!!, In tables CSS td{height:60px;} works same as CSS td{height:60px;}
I'm having a bit of an issue getting some stylesheet behavior that I want. I'm not even sure if it's possible. Basically I'm attempting to place a table with a variable number of cells with static cell width in a DIV with overflow: auto, and my goal is that when the tables width extends past the width of the container DIV that it becomes scrollable.
This isn't the case. The cells get shrunk together. A very basic representation (with inline styles for ease on this; not actually in the application haha) of the code:
<div style="width: 1000px; overflow-x: auto;">
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:400px;">
This
</td>
<td style="width:400px;">
Should
</td>
<td style="width:400px;">
Scroll!
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Is there anyway I can do this with CSS, or am I going to have to go back to setting the width inline on a second div containing the table through calculations?
Works if you set the width on the table itself.
<table style="width:1200px;">
The td will always shrink to the necessary size, they won't push the table wider in that situation.
using CSS can done like below but make sure you use id or class for applying css if you have more then one table or div.
<style>
div { width: 400px; overflow-x: auto; }
table { width:1200px; }
table td { width:400px; }
</style>
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
This
</td>
<td>
Should
</td>
<td>
Scroll!
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
This should help
<table style="width: max-content;">
