I have a table with fixed layout. On overflow, the contents of cells should clip from the left instead of the right. That is, if the width of the TD is less than the width of the text, the cell below should display "67890" instead of "12345".
This needs to work in IE7+ at minimum. Is there a way to do this in css without any JavaScript?
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<TD>
12334567890
</TD>
</tr>
</table>
you could use:
direction:rtl;
I haven´t tried it, but you could try text-align:right or wrap the contents in a div and float that right.
You can use the CSS3 property word-wrap: break-word but there's no way to control where it will break the word. It will fit whatever it can on the line and then break it down to the next, it won't keep the lines of equal length.
There is also the <wbr> tag but I've never used or experimented with it, so I can't really tell you how to use it.

I've got a table row which has 3 columns now. text text image(with cellspan=2 and rowspan=2)
How can I remove that padding from the right inside the td.
Basically I want to push the image to the left.
img is inside td too
the problem here is, Verticle- align try to change the values as you wanted
example code
vertical-align:baseline;
assigned generally applies to common html elements. with this change, Now everything works as supposed to.
If you want to effect the entire table, you can remove explicit width from all <td>s, and then the text will take as much space as it actually needs.
If you want to effect only one row, you can put the text and the image inside the same <td colspan=2> instead of two separate <td>s
I have simple tables like this:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>title1</td>
<td>title2</td>
<td>title3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
<td>item1_1</td>
</tr>
</table>
Combined with my CSS, the result would be:

As you can see, the hyperlinks inside the table "move" when hovering over it.
Of course that movement is an unwanted effect, and I would like to get rid of it.
I did some search on it, but could not find anything satisfying.
Could someone explain, why this is happening and how to fix it?
Instead of using the bold attribute to highlight an element, the proper approach is to give the currently hovered link a different color - that way, you won't have these kinds of problems!
Simply remove the bold attribute and change the color to something different, like so:
a:hover
{
text-decoration:none;
color:#000000;
}
Remember that making something bold makes it's size larger to render, and that this is the generally preferred approach.
Here's a working jsFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/yzsfH/5/
This you may know, that the width is increasing because the text size is increasing. (Bold Text)
So, give the below properties to a tag which will solve the problem.
a{
display:block;
width:55px; /* give fixed width here */
}
Giving fixed width to td is waste because if the content inside it increases then td width also increases eventhough fixed width is assigned to it.
Working Fiddle
This is happening because a bold font is wider than a normal font. Try centring your text and making the cell slightly wider.
bolder text = larger text ... it's not a bug, it's an obvious feature
try forcing the width of your td's (using CSS of course) so that their width doesn't depend on the width of the text in it...
When text becomes bold, it increases in width. Because the cells wrap around the text, and the text is now wider the cell becomes wider to accommodate this. A fix would be to use a lighter font and on hover have it become darker.
To fix this issue Give the fix
width:50px;
How do to remove Auto Resize of Table cell? When I enter a text that would exceed the width of a table cell it automatically increases its width. Is there a way to disable its auto resize?
I'm directly adding text in table cell without any other element than <td>,
<td>Text is Here...</td>
Is there an element when the text exceeds the <td>'s width it will auto end line the next word. is that possible? I tried <p> and it doesn't work for me.
This is a sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/88RtG/2/
I want the first cell to have same width all the others regardless of its contents.
Browsers apparently expand a cell no matter what (even table-layout: fixed does not help), if the cell contains a string of characters that cannot be broken by the rules that the browser is applying.
If a string like “asdasdasdasdasdasddasdasdadasd” has no permissible breaking points, then it seems that the only way is to wrap the cell content in an element, say <td><div class=cell>...</div></td> and set a width on that inner element. You would then have to deal with the overflow issue (should the excess content flow into the next cell, or be hidden, or what?).
If it has permissible breaking points, mark them, using <wbr> or (More info on this: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/nobr.html#suggest ) for simple line break opportunities, for hyphenation points.
Specify the width to the table, row or the cell.
Try:
<td width="80px">Text is Here...</td>
Alter the width on all the cells of the ones you want - only need to do it on the first row. You can use percentages as well.
eg: my table height and width is 10:10. When i entered some paragraph inside table, unexpectedly the width(50) is increasing. Please give me solution for avoid that things.
In my case, if i'm aware of how text inside a in a table are rendered, i put them inside a . You got, together with CSS, complete control of the text.
<table style="background-color:#ccc;">
<tr>
<td><div style="width:20px;height:20px;">'randomtext</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
Above snippet gives you a static box whatever you put into the div-tag. If you intend to hide the characters that not fit in the size, just add overflow:hidden.
<div style="width:20px;height:20px;overflow:hidden;">'randomtext</div>
You may also use the table-layout:fixed; CSS attribute to the <table style=''> tag to achieve same effect. overflow:hidden give you same effect with table-layt, as in a DIV. I will point out avoiding the use of tables in design purposes (DIV's are the element for this). However I also will beg-pardon if I don't understand the question correctly. Your question could, at this time, be much more clear.
A side note,
If we say the example with a square height of 10 x 10 pixels. When you type in a ' or something, the table are grow. Probably in height but maybe also in width depend on font-style. The <div> can override this. Even if the character are visibly smaller, like as a quote mark, there are space reserved for a box around a full size of that chosen size, font-face and encoding.
I have an html table and one column (or <td>) contains very long words. I want to set the max-width of the column so that if text is longer than the max-width the text should auto-wrap to next line. I have tried to set the css max-width style on the appropriate <td> element with "max-width:100px", but it does not work. The text is still very long and does not auto-wrap to next line.
Any ideas what is wrong or any solution reference code? I am using IE 8 on Windows 7.
You need to add the CSS3 property word-wrap: break-word;.
You can put a div inside your table cells.
Nothing within that div will stretch out the table cell.
Works great in IE8 and Chrome at least.
Old html td width will work in IE 8 for that... But you want maximum-width, not a width... besides the extra html attribute needed for each cell.
<td nowrap="wrap" style="width:100px;"></td>
All browsers..
Unfortunately you have to handle each cells content to keep the whole table fixed width. There is a width attribute for but it doesn't control anything..
