Here's a portion of my table (it's a form):
Those are just two <td>'s in a <tr>. I'm trying to get Description up top, to the top of the table cell, rather than resting on the bottom.
How can I do that?
td.description {vertical-align: top;}
where description is the class name of the td with that text in it
td.description {
vertical-align: top;
}
<td class="description">Description</td>
OR inline (yuk!)
<td style="vertical-align: top;">Description</td>
Try
td.description {
line-height: 15px
}
<td class="description">Description</td>
Set the line-height value to the desired value.
If you are using Bootstrap, please add the following customised style setting for your table:
.table>tbody>tr>td,
.table>tbody>tr>th,
.table>tfoot>tr>td,
.table>tfoot>tr>th,
.table>thead>tr>td,
.table>thead>tr>th {
vertical-align: middle;
}
valign="top" should do the work.
<tr>
<td valign="top">Description</td>
</tr>
I had the same issue but solved it by using !important. I forgot about the inheritance in CSS. Just a tip to check first.
Just add vertical-align:top for first td alone needed not for all td.
tr>td:first-child {
vertical-align: top;
}
<tr>
<td>Description</td>
<td>more text</td>
</tr>
CSS {vertical-align: top;} or html Attribute {valign="top"}
.table td,
.table th {
border: 1px solid #161b21;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
width: 250px;
height: 100px;
/* style for table */
}
.table-body-text {
vertical-align: top;
}
<table class="table">
<tr>
<th valign="top">Title 1</th>
<th valign="top">Title 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="table-body-text">text</td>
<td class="table-body-text">text</td>
</tr>
</table>
For table vertical-align we have 2 options.
is to use css {vertical-align: top;}
another way is to user attribute "valign" and the property should be "top" {valign="top"}

My goal is to make an HTML page that is similar to a "photo frame". In other words, I want to make a blank page that is surrounded by 4 pictures.
This is my code:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="bTop" colspan="3">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bLeft">
</td>
<td class="middle">
</td>
<td class="bRight">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bBottom" colspan="3">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
And the CSS classes are the following:
.bTop
{
width: 960px;
height: 111px;
background-image: url('../Images/BackTop.jpg');
}
.bLeft
{
width: 212px;
height: 280px;
background-image: url('../Images/BackLeft.jpg');
}
.middle
{
width: 536px;
height: 280px;
}
.bRight
{
width: 212px;
height: 280px;
background-image: url('../Images/BackRight.jpg');
}
.bBottom
{
width: 960px;
height: 111px;
background-image: url('../Images/BackBottom.jpg');
}
My problem is that I am getting thin white lines between the cells of the table, I mean that the border of pictures is not continuous. How can I avoid these white spaces?
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
And in css:
table {border: none;}
EDIT:
As iGEL noted, this solution is officially deprecated (still works though), so if you are starting from scratch, you should go with the jnpcl's border-collapse solution.
I actually quite dislike this change so far (don't work with tables that often). It makes some tasks bit more complicated. E.g. when you want to include two different borders in same place (visually), while one being TOP for one row, and second being BOTTOM for other row. They will collapse (= only one of them will be shown). Then you have to study how is border's "priority" calculated and what border styles are "stronger" (double vs. solid etc.).
I did like this:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="first">first row</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="second">second row</td>
</tr>
</table>
----------
.first {border-bottom:1px solid #EEE;}
.second {border-top:1px solid #CCC;}
Now, with border collapse, this won't work as there is always one border removed. I have to do it in some other way (there are more solutions ofc). One possibility is using CSS3 with box-shadow:
<table class="tab">
<tr>
<td class="first">first row</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="second">second row</td>
</tr>
</table>
<style>
.tab {border-collapse:collapse;}
.tab .first {border-bottom:1px solid #EEE;}
.tab .second {border-top:1px solid #CCC;box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #CCC;}
</style>
You could also use something like "groove|ridge|inset|outset" border style with just a single border. But for me, this is not optimal, because I can't control both colors.
Maybe there is some simple and nice solution for collapsing borders, but I haven't seen it yet and I honestly haven't spent much time on it. Maybe someone here will be able to show me/us ;)
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
For me I needed to do something like this to completely remove the borders from the table and all cells. This does not require modifying the HTML at all, which was helpful in my case.
table, tr, td {
border: none;
}
In a bootstrap environment none of the top answers helped, but applying the following removed all borders:
.noBorder {
border:none !important;
}
Applied as:
<td class="noBorder">
In a bootstrap environment here is my solution:
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;">
<tr style="border: none;">
<td style="border: none;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
This is what resolved the problem for me:
In your HTML tr tag, add this:
style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"
That removed all the borders that were showing on the table row.
Using TinyMCE editor, the only way I was able to remove all borders was to use border:hidden in the style like this:
<style>
table, tr {border:hidden;}
td, th {border:hidden;}
</style>
And in the HTML like this:
<table style="border:hidden;"</table>
Cheers
Use this Css style in your global CSS
.table,
.monthview-datetable td,
.monthview-datetable th {
border: none !important;
}
table {
border: none;
}
You can user this css property to hide table border.
Nothing of the answers here worked in 2022 (at least for Chrome) except <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">. However I needed a CSS solution, not the HTML one. So here it is:
table,
thead,
tbody,
tfoot,
tr,
th,
td {
padding: 0;
border-spacing: 0;
}
padding is the CSS synonym for HTML cellpadding and border-spacing is respectively for cellspacing. Not quite an obvious thing though.
Given:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Company</th>
<th>Contact</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<table>
Using this on your CSS would work:
tr {
border: transparent 1px solid;
}
I found border-spacing to be my issue
td, th, tr, table {
border: 0 !important;
border-spacing:0 !important;
}
I'm a newbie regarding CSS and HTML, so apologies if this seems like a stupid question. But for the love of god, I can't seem to figure it out. I only get a horizontal scrollbar and not a vertical one.
In the code below I try to achieve that the last column, that contains the string 'aaaaaabbb...' becomes scrollable. So that when it's overfilled it starts a new line and shows a scrollbar. So I would like to see this for the last row:
Desired result:
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbc
cccccccc

Thank you for your help.
Two things:
You have a missing ">" at the end of your closing </td>.
You only have one column in that <tr> - is that intentional? (if not you should have colspan=2 in that <td>
The solution you are looking for is word-wrap: break-word; This will allow the content to wrap.
I have modified your snippet:
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head></head>
<body><head><style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {

background-color: #eee;

max-width:100px;
min-width:100px;
max-height:200px;
min-height:2000px;
overflow: auto; /* changed this */
word-wrap: break-word; /* added this */
}
</style></head><body>

Like others have mentioned, in order to get the long-one-word text to wrap - you need to add: word-wrap: break-word; to the td
However, achieving a vertical scroll on a table cell is problematic because by definition table cells expand to fit all the content.
You could work around this by setting display:block on that table cell. (like this)
But it's probably better to wrap the text within a span tag so as not to mess with the display of table elements:
Like so:
FIDDLE
table,
th,
td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th,
td {
padding: 5px;
}
th {
text-align: left;
background-color: #eee;
}
.td_size {
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
max-width: 100px;
min-width: 100px;
}
.td_size span {
overflow: auto;
display: block;
max-height: 200px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
<h2>Ticket details</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Requester</th>
<td>^User^</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Submitted by</th>
<td>®User®</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Service</th>
<td>#GLOBAL END USER WORKPLACE#</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>CI</th>
<td>+N/A+</td>

<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td_size"><span>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccdddddddd</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
First, make that last column span over 2, ie colspan=2 but as for the css part you can use overflow-x and overflow-y to determine the scrolling parts
Try it
you may use word-wrap: break-word; or <br> tag where you want to break the word
I have got the following code and would like to know how I can make the text from the column with rowspan 3 start on the top. (because if you look at it now you will find that the text "Nueva columna" is displayed in the middle of the column:
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid ;
}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Numeros</th>
<th rowspan="3">Nueva columna</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uno</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Dos</td>
</tr>
</table>
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks!
Use vertical-align: top:
th[rowspan] {
vertical-align: top;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
The above will only set vertical-align: top to <th> elements with a rowspan attribute; to style all <th> elements:
th {
vertical-align: top;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
And to style all <table> elements that way:
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid;
vertical-align: top;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
References:
vertical-align property.
Add:
th {
vertical-align:top;
}
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid;
}
th {
vertical-align:top;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Numeros</th>
<th rowspan="3">Nueva columna</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uno</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Dos</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can set the vertical-alignto toplike so :
table tr:first-child th:nth-child(2){
vertical-align: top;
}
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Lsog2mxv/
Edit : The code above will only target the proper th, in case you want your other cells to keep the default behavior. You can remove the pseudo elements and target all the thand tdif you would like all of your cells to have the vertical-align: top;.
I have a really simple table with two rows and two columns. I want the text in the first column to be right-aligned and the second column to be left-aligned. I'm sure this is really easy but I just can't figure it out.
Here's the HTML:
<table>
<tr><td>Previous:</td><td>Link 1</td></tr>
<tr><td>Next:</td><td>Link 2</td></tr>
</table>
How would I do this?
I would use classes in this instance. You could get fancy but this is the best way for supporting.
CSS
.alignright { text-align: right; }
.alignleft { text-align: left; }
HTML
<td class="alignright"> </td>
<td class="alignleft"> </td>
You could go further by adding padding, margins and further classes. Depending on your TABLE css you might need to add some padding so that the cells aren't all padding: 0 and not showing any alignment.
You can either use :first-child to target the cells in the first column:
td {
text align: left;
}
td:first-child {
text-align: right;
}
But :first-child: doesn’t work in IE 6, so you might want to add a class to the cells in the first column, and use that instead:
<table>
<tr><td class="first">Previous:</td><td>Link 1</td></tr>
<tr><td class="first">Next:</td><td>Link 2</td></tr>
</table>
td {
text align: left;
}
td.first {
text-align: right;
}
As written, this will apply to all <td> elements, so you might also want to add a class to your table and limit the styles to <td>s in that table:
<table class="simple">
<tr><td class="first">Previous:</td><td>Link 1</td></tr>
<tr><td class="first">Next:</td><td>Link 2</td></tr>
</table>
table.simple td {
text align: left;
}
table.simple td.first {
text-align: right;
}
As an alternative and given your scenario and if you are able to - why don't you replace the <td>'s in your second column with <th>'s and then the CSS will be really simple:
td { text-align:right; }
th { text-align:left; }
set different classes on each td element
<style>
td.raligned {text-align: right;}
td.leftaligned {text-align: left;}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="raligned">blah</td>
<td class="leftaligned">blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
It's easy. Create a class of CSS
<style>
.aleft {text-align: left;}
.aright {text-align: right;}
</style>
Now add the classes to your table, it's easy.
<table>
<tr><td class="aright">Previous:</td><td>Link 1</td></tr>
<tr><td class="aleft">Next:</td><td>Link 2</td></tr>
</table>
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td class="right-align">Previous:</td>
<td class="left-align">Link 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="right-align">Next:</td>
<td class="left-align">Link 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
And your stylesheet..
td.right-align {
text-align: right;
}
td.left-align {
text-align: left;
}
Use
<col align=right>
inside the <table> element, to right-align the first column on IE, and
td:first-child { text-align: right; }
to do the same on more standards-conforming browsers.
Data cells (td elements) are left-aligned by default, so you need not do anything with the second column.
Personally I would recommend not using tables and use a CSS solution that being said here's a jsfiddle option. basically the same as other have said but with jsfiddle you can manipulate it and make changes so you can see them immediately.
