I'm trying to make a calendar, and I've got it mostly working except I want to space it out a bit. I tried setting the table to width: 210px and table-layout: fixed so it'd work like this, but I can't seem to get it worked. Here is the jsFiddle; when I set the width to 210px it just slides the table over. Fixed doesn't seem to do anything.
How can I set the column width to stretch to fit (and evenly spaced).
Try removing display: inline-block from the table#cal styling.

I am playing with the table-layout:fixed, it works almost perfectly for my needs. However, apparently I can not have a column of fixed size that won't change when I add or remove columns dynamically from the table.
Here is the example. If you add some columns you can see that the first column shrinks and the checkboxes kind of pop out of the columns. How can I make the first column have a fixed size while keeping the table-layout:fixed behavior on the other columns?
I am using table-layout:fixed because once I add enough columns, it will add a horizontal scroll bar and will guarantee that the columns have at least the width I specified.
You can try a different approach by not using table-layout: fixed and achieve almost the same result. Also, instead of using width property for the <th>, you can define min-width.
Check this updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/L9rudjng/5/. I moved the inline CSS into CSS box too.
The table will maintain the 500px until it can't hold enough <th>'s with 100px width. Then it will expand and force the horizontal scroll.
I am trying to convert my table design to css div design.
What does not work:
1.)
The black div will have list items therefore I need scrollbars which is shown at the moment. Thats fine.
But I do not want to limit the height to 400px. My former design had 100% for the height so it takes all vertical space on the screen.
2.) The red div (rightContent) should have a fixed width of 200px; When I set this what do I have to set, that the leftContent takes all horizontal space.
Above all in the old table layout were no outer vertical scrollbar visible around the whole layout.
I tested this on IE9

For Question1:
If you want a scrollbar, you should not set the height property to auto. Instead you can dynamically set the Div height via Javascript like this.
document.getElementById("ListData").style.height=<your Size>;
For Question 2:
If you want to set height to Red Div. You can specify like this.
height: 200px;
overflow:hidden;
this will limit the div to 200px. Now you can increase your other div/divs width to occupy this space .
If I was starting something like this from scratch I'd rethink the layout so I didn't have such tight constraints, but as you're converting an existing site I appreciate this might not be an option.
You could use the display: table;, display: table-row; and display: table-cell; declarations to get a semantically correct (it's not tabular data, right?) structure which behaves just like the oft misused <table> of yore. Admittedly, you'd have to implement some work-around for IE6&7 (probably 2-3% of users), but perhaps you could accept that it's usable but imperfect in those browsers?

I have no control over the html in this project, so I need a css only solution unfortunately. The html is horrible, and it this wouldn't even be a problem if I could edit it. I have made a fiddle of where I am at at the moment.
I have a fixed width div, with a fixed width table inside it. They are the same width (500px in example) The table has an unset number of rows, generated in asp. I have floated the rows left so they appear in line (I know this is awful, but it was all I could do without editing the html) Each td is 100px. The heights and background colours added in the css are just to make it a bit clearer, they can be changed to whatever.
What I want to achieve is to get the td to start at the right hand side instead of the left. I have tried floating right instead of left, but this makes the links appear in reverse order which is undesirable.
The only solution I can come up with is to change the table width in css and float it to the right, which would be fine if the number of rows was a constant, but there could be some added to it or removed, which would leave it looking incorrect again.

I think you were correct with your thought to change the table width in css and float it to the right. I think I get what you want if I set the table width to 0px (it will expand to contain the tr's) in CSS, and float the table to the right.
Edit: nevermind. I was using Chrome and it worked there, but not in IE
Edit2: width:auto seems to make it work in IE, Chrome, and Firefox
I you have fixed width tds in your table, they should add up to 500px. In this case they add up to 400px. So you have to prepend one tr with auto width to your table.
Update: Hmm, this does not work since you have floating trs instead of tds
I am creating a table which I want to have a top part, middle part, and a bottom part. The middle is also divided into a left, center, and right. I want it so that the only thing that ever gets larger or smaller is the middle's center. I am encountering a few problems with this however:
The table isn't filling the entire height;
The Center-Left and Center-Right aren't holding their widths
I have created a JsFiddle so that you can see what I mean.

Thanks!
Ignoring the fact that this is a table and you appear to be wanting to use it for layout (hint: You probably shouldn't be), and some other problems.
There were 2 primary problems.
You had every element under .Window set to display: block; and width: 100%. Remove that.
You have the width of .Window-Content-Content set to 100%, which is 100% of it's parent, which isn't what you want. You have left and right set to specific widths, table cells will then naturally fill in the extra width. if the parent table has a width set on it.

i made myself a Speed Dial-like homepage with links I visit the most.
Now, i made it elastic, so when browser window is narrowed horizontally, the boxes getting narrower too.
What I want is that when browser window is narrowed vertically, that boxes get narrower again.
I tried with several percentage height rules but it didn't work, need help.
Here is the page I'm working on its one-file page so CSS is not separated.

You have to add the height percentages to almost all the divs if you want it to work. Add height: 100% to html, body then the wrappers and also the lis and yeah, the a style too.
Don't know if it's optimal but tables for this should work. Set the table height and width to 100%. And don't forget to set your html and wrapper tag to 100% in height.
