<div style="width:500px;">
<p>To create not a block, but an inline code span,use backticks:Press the `<Tab>` key, then type a `$`.If you want to have a preformatted block within a list, indent by eight spaces: </p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Action</th>
<th>abc</th>
<th>xyz</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>hihi</td>
<td>hihi</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I set the div of width 500px, and under it I have p and table elemetns. The p element adjust to the width of the div, while the table has its own width, which doesnt necessarily adjust to fit into 500px. I don't know how this works, can anyone explain it to me? Thanks
By default, <table> elements adjust to auto fit their contents. If the contents don't need the full container, the space isnt taken. You can change this behavior by styling the table with:
<table style="width: 100%;">
In which case it will take all available width if possible.

I have a table with a format like this
<table>
<thead>
<th> </th>
<th>foo1</th>
<th>foo2</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Text that makes the cell use two lines of height</th>
<td className="grid-item">
<b>P</b>
</td>
<td className="grid-item">
<div>✔ 17/10/2019</div>
</td>
</tr>
/* more tr s */
</tbody>
</table>
and when click a external button, it turns something like this:
<table>
<thead>
<th> </th>
<th>foo1</th>
<th>foo2</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Text that makes the cell use two lines of height</th>
<td className="grid-item green_border">
<div className="clickeable-cpopup">
<b>P</b>
</div>
</td>
<td className="grid-item green_border">
<div className="clickeable-cpopup">
<div>✔ 17/10/2019</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
/* more tr s */
</tbody>
</table>
and the div "clickeable-cpopup" has a onClick function and it needs to fill all space of its td parent, height and width, otherwise i click the td instead of the div and nothing happens.
the "grid-item" has padding: 0 and i tried the solution of apply display: flex to the "grid-item", it works in filling the space but the table format gets messed up.
Also I tried with better results giving position: relative to the "grid-item" and absolute to both "clickeable-cpopup" and "content". The clickeable div use all space in the td but then the cell that contains the date doesnt adjust to its content (the width of the cell is smaller that the lengh of the date)
How could I achieve this? I would like to avoid make the td clickeable.
Fixing the cell size is not a good option, a column that only contains <b>P</b> should be smaller thant a column that contains both P and date, an P could become a date and vice versa and some headers of the first column may use 2 lines of height.
And of course neither width: auto nor 100% work since the "grid-item" doesn't have a fixed size
I am using the trick of assigning a small width to a table cell for it to wrap its content so the following works fine (I want the second and third cell to be assigned their width automatically according to their content):
<table style="width:100%;">
<tr>
<td style="width:1px;">11111111</td>
<td>1111111111111111</td>
<td>11111111</td>
<td style="width:1px;">11111111</td>
</tr>
</table>
But in my project, I am going to animate the width of the cell content to zero so I want the cell to be also of "0" width because I have a hover styling on the cell and even 1 px will trigger this styling when the mouse hovers over it. But assigning the cells 0 width instead of 1px is totally ignored.
One solution I thought of was binding the hover styling to the div inside the td. But is there a way to make the cell width really "0"?
try to use table-layout:fixed and width:0px on the td
<table style="width:100%;table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td style="width: 0px;"> </td>
<td>1111111111111111</td>
<td>11111111</td>
<td style="width: 0px;"></td>
</tr>
</table>
I have a large table which I would like to apply a max-height to, however I am having difficulty doing this since the leftmost column is set to be fixed in place (using absolute positioning).
When I give a max height to its container div, the absolutely positioned div spills over and looks terrible. HTML looks roughly like this
<div style="max-height: 100px">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="fixed">blah</td>
<td class="not_fixed">blah!</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
This is an example which demonstrates my issue much more clearly:
https://jsfiddle.net/YMvk9/6468/
I have a <table> inside a <div> tag, which doesn't want to span as long as it needs to be. I need to specify a width in px for the <table> to span and thus cause the <div> container it is inside to scroll. Otherwise, the <table> just spans to a width of 100%, i.e. the width of the <div>.
My example is as follows:
<div style="width:880px; overflow:scroll;">
<table> // I need to explicitly specify a width for it, otherwise it just span 100% which is incorrect
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
I have specified for all the <td> tags a width inside my CSS.
I don't understand why the <table> can't determine it's own width or just respect the widths of all the <td> tags.
Try setting white-space: nowrap; on the td in your table and dump a lot of text inside each td you will start seeing a scroll bar on your div.
Are you sure there isn't any unintended CSS being applied to the table? By default the table only expands to accommodate its columns.
<div style="width:880px; overflow:scroll; background-color: green;">
<table style="background-color: red;">
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>two</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Using this code, you can see the red table is only as big as its columns in relation to the green div as long as no other CSS is involved.
Use a tool like Firebug or IE's Developer Tools (F12) to see which styles are actually being applied to the table element.
See the example here.
I'm trying to do the following: http://www.pastebin.org/113337
I'm wondering why the scrolling won't take place? It just stretches the table. Try running the code with and without white-space: nowrap and see how it differs. Whenever I apply nowrap my table gets stretched. How do I avoid this?
I'm pretty sure that's just how tables work; they stretch when there's too much content in one of their cells.
Try putting a <div> inside your <td> and apply the width and overflow properties to that instead.
Addendum:
Your table has a CSS width property of 150px while the div has a percentage, %100. Try giving the <div> a non-percentage width...
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div style="150px;">
<!-- wtv -->
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Or try putting the whole <table> in a <div> with a fixed width...
<div style="width:150px">
<table>
<!-- wtv -->
</table>
</div>
... lastly, I'd advise that you put your CSS in an external .css file ;)
