Every time I create a HTML table, it starts on a new paragraph. Is it possible to override this behaviour, so that I have two tables on the same row?
I'm using also CSS.
You'll want to style them, display: inline; or float both the tables.
I've always found it easier to just create a table that contains the 2 tables if i want them to always be on same row.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table id="table1">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table id="table2">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
styling works too though.
set display: inline-block; for each table.

If you need the horizontally aligned tables to fill 100% width, you need:
display:inline-table; and float:left;

I have html tables inside a huge table that I'm trying to get to to lay their cells horizontally dynamically generated by php. Right now my structure looks like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
and the html my chrome browser is rendering outputs the cells like this:
1
2
instead of:
1 2
I know I can just as easily do this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
and have my desired output of:
1 2
but I have some info that won't fit clean in a td cell in a table. Any help?
If you use "float: left" and put some text after the table, it positions next to the table, not in the bottom.
Use
td table {
float: left;
/*or:
display: inline-block;*/
}
Use float:left for table CSS
table{
float:left;
}
Fiddle here
In the below code, the table which is supposed to be below the div ends up colliding with it and showing up in the middle of it.
Any help is welcome.
Fiddle here
<div id="header" width="100%">
<center>
blabla
</center>
<table align="left" class="header">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Links</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>blabla</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>blabla</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>blabla</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table align="right" class="header">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>contacts</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>this guy</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>that other guy</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>the table that shouldn't be here</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You just need to "clear: both" when you don't want an element to be affected by other elements' float value (or align in this case).
Here is what is happening, your first table is attached to the left, your second to the right, and the third is trying to fit between the two.
You can tell the third table to find an empty line to start on by using style="clear: both"
Working fiddle here.
notice the:
style = "clear: both"
on the bottom table
A couple of things:
You're using <center>, which is deprecated, according to
W3C:
The element was introduced in HTML 3.2 - Block elements. It
has been deprecated since HTML 4 - 15.1.2 Alignment.
HTML5 classifies it as a non-conforming feature.
In the jsfiddle you linked, the table seems to be below the div, so
I'm not sure what the problem is. Can you clarify?
I got a table with a couple <td>:
<table>
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I want to do is to place the "Third" <td> (with the div) to the right side of the table and the "First" and "Second" <td> should stay left.
Style with float:right; didn't work for me...
You need to make your table's width 100%, then control the widths of your first 2 columns, and finally right-align your third column.
http://jsfiddle.net/25Mqa/1/
<table>
<tr>
<td class="first">First</td>
<td class="second">Second</td>
<td class="third">Third</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
table { width:100%; }
.first, .second { width:50px; }
.third { text-align:right; }
The problem is that the width of a <table> is determined by its content, by default. If you want the <table> to span 100% width (of its containing block) like block-level elements do, you can either add table-layout: fixed; and then specify your width - or just give it a width, depending on what you're after, e.g.
table {
width: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/QEaAd/2/
try add style="text-align:right;"
<table>
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px; text-align:right;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Only if you have 2 divs one near other:
<div id="fr">div1</div>
<div id="fr">div2</div>
you can float them right:
<style>
#fr{float:right;}
</style>
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px; display: block; float: right;">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I believe this does what you want, however from what I understand, floating table elements will cause problems in versions of Internet Explorer <8
I dont know what you are trying to do with tables and divs? But I normally use this for emailers.
I use the align attribute for td's. This helps a lot in making sure your layout looks the way you want. And it works in all browsers :)
FIDDLE
HTML:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>First</td>
<td>Second</td>
<td style="padding:20px;" align="right">
<div>
Third
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
In Bootstrap 5.2 you can add .text-start and .text-end to your text class to align elements inside a table.
I've two tables like below:
<table width="100px">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Two</td>
<td>Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
<td>Five</td>
<td>Six</td>
<td>Seven</td>
<td>Eight</td>
<td>Nine</td>
<td>Ten</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
When I run this my internal table is exceeding parent table width (100px) because it is having more TDs. How can restrict this?
All values are coming in the same row and it is going out of reserved area (100px). Is there any way to display values in multiple rows with the above code?
You cannot do this with <table> layout. Even adding the following CSS will not fix it, instead the cells are just rendered over each other.
table {
table-layout:fixed;
overflow:hidden;
}
The HTML table column element <col> element will also not really help since it will only apply to the first <td>.
One approach would be to use a non-<table> layout instead, for example:
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="container">
<div>One</div><div>Two</div><div>Three</div><div>Four</div><div>Five</div>
<div>Six</div><div>Seven</div><div>Eight</div><div>Nine</div><div>Ten</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
table {
width:100px;
}
#container div {
display:inline-block;
}
See demo of how <col> does not work and how the <div> layout wraps at 100px.
U can't fit 10 words like this in 100px with normal size font.
I think you might want to use <tr></tr>(row) tags for each word instead of td(cell)
Or you really want the 100px row to be split in 10 cells and to contain those words? (I think if might be somehow possible but u won't see the words :D or maybe if you used little font and somehow made the words to be rotated about 90 degrees...)
This Q/A Word-wrap in an HTML table might help u in that case.
add a class to table and set this css code
table.restrict { table-layout:fixed; }
table.restrict td { overflow: hidden; }
It will help you:
Fixed Table Cell Width
Use style attr 'table-layout:fixed' with table
or try this:
// div css
<style>
.frame {
overflow-x:scroll;
width:100px;
}
</style>
<div class='frame'>
<table width='100px'>
<tr>
<td>
<table width='100%'>
<tr>
<td>One</td>
<td>Two</td>
<td>Three</td>
<td>Four</td>
<td>Five</td>
<td>Six</td>
<td>Seven</td>
<td>Eight</td>
<td>Nine</td>
<td>Ten</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Quick-Question: how can this be achieved? (see image below)
Setting td width booth in plain html and with css had no effect.
The td width CAN vary but only with the same width for each row.
Use three separate <table> blocks, each with a single row having three columns of varying widths.
I don't believe it can in one table easily.
Instead, you have to use the colspan attribute to overlap cells on different rows.
For example, use 6 columns, the first row will have colspan = 2 , td, colspan = 2
The second row will have td, td colspan=2, td and so on.
It's quite messy - you might want to consider displaying your data in a different way, for example, using DIVs
It's a lot to look at, but you need a parent table with three rows where each row contains another table with three columns:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<!-- Set Width of Individual Cells Here -->
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<!-- Set Width of Individual Cells Here -->
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<!-- Set Width of Individual Cells Here -->
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's a working jsFiddle to illustrate.
take 1 main table with 3 tr and in each tr take another sub table with 3 column than apply css
It's actually possible without this sub-tabling. I'm having this as a bug in my layout now. Just try playing around with paddings and margins inside cells :(
"Bug" works consistently across multiple browsers.
Edit:
Hunted that one.
td { display: block; }
Don't do it at home.
