}
if you browse by chrome it's ok, in firefox "Labs" header cell is higher than "employees".
As you see these are two tables side by side with grid layout.
I tried to set height, line-height, overflow, nothing works.
Ok maybe it's a firefox bug, i don't care, how may i solve this??
Many thanks.

Add align-self: start; to .building-phonebook-table-labs so it won't stretch to full cell-height:
.view-content {
width: 400px;
}
/**

.building-phonebook-table tr td:nth-child(2),
.building-phonebook-table tr td:nth-child(3) {

HTMl table: turning cell background-colour with max-width does not work

Turning the header cells (th) with background-color does not work.
The color bar is too small or the cell is too wide or the background is not turned.
How is it possible to create a narrow cell with long text and turn it including the background-color?
th {
white-space: nowrap;
/* height: 180px;*/
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
width: 3em;
max-width: 2em;

You could use span in th:

vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
width: 3em;
max-width: 2em;
}
th span {
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;

How to change default value in counter-increment?

I think the code is counting the "Rank" header as a row and assigning 1 to it. How can I change the first number of the counter-increment? I would like the table to start from 0 so that the "Rank" header is assigned 0 and the next row is 1, and so on and so forth.

CSS counter's default value is always 0 and that's not the problem in your case. The problem is that you are incrementing the value to 1 when the first tr is encountered itself.
There are multiple ways in which you can solve this:
Assign the initial value of the counter as -1 during counter-reset property. This means that when the first tr is encountered the counter value increments from -1 to 0 and so it looks as though the header row is not numbered.
tr.odd {
background-color: #FFFFFF
}
tr.even {
background-color: #F2F2F2
}
table {
counter-reset: rowNumber -1;
}
table tr {
counter-increment: rowNumber;
}
table tr td:first-child::before {
content: counter(rowNumber);
min-width: 1em;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Points</th>
<th>Wins</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Increment counter value only from the second tr that is encountered. This can be done using the + (adjacent sibling selector) or ~ (general sibling selector) or nth-child(n+2). Using one of these would mean the selector would be matched only by the second and subsequent tr within the table.
tr.odd {
background-color: #FFFFFF
}
tr.even {
background-color: #F2F2F2
}
table {
counter-reset: rowNumber;
}
table tr + tr {
counter-increment: rowNumber;
}
table tr td:first-child::before {
content: counter(rowNumber);
min-width: 1em;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Points</th>
<th>Wins</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Best and recommended solution: Wrap the headers inside a thead, the contents inside tbody and modify the selector within which the counter is incremented. This is recommended because it gives a proper structure to the table and doesn't look hackish.
tr.odd {
background-color: #FFFFFF
}
tr.even {
background-color: #F2F2F2
}
table {
counter-reset: rowNumber;
}
table tbody tr {
counter-increment: rowNumber;
}
table tr td:first-child::before {
content: counter(rowNumber);
min-width: 1em;
text-align: center;
}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Rank</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Points</th>
<th>Wins</th>
</tr>

How to create Chrome DevTool style bar charts with grids using plain CSS/HTML?

I have a table with numerical data and I want to show a bar for every row. The challenge is to have grid lines like those found in Chrome dev tools:
You see those lines that say 400ms, 600ms, etc? That's what I'm after. One solution is to have multiple columns in the table but then how can the bar expand across multiple columns? Another solution is to use some sort of repeating background image that has those lines, but then it's tricky to adjust it for various designs (for example if the padding changes or if I want to change the grid color I have to redo the image, etc.)
I have come up with the code below but got stuck with the grid part. I want grid lines on 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Grids should be lines that go all over the bars all the way down to the bottom of the table.
table {
background-color: gray;
}
td {
width: 200px;
background-color: lightgray;
}
.bar {
background-color: red;
height: 1em;
}
<table>
<tr>
<th>value</th>
<th>25%| 50%| 75%| 100%|</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>100</th>
<td><div class="bar" style="width: 100%">.</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>80</th>
<td><div class="bar" style="width: 80%">.</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>95</th>
<td><div class="bar" style="width: 95%">.</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>18</th>
<td><div class="bar" style="width: 18%">.</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>5</th>
<td><div class="bar" style="width: 5%">.</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
And this is the result I want:
table {
width: 30%;
}
th, td {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
width: 20%;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0px;
}
th{
background: #606060;
border: none;
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
td {
vertical-align: top;
z-index: -1;
}
.bar-row td {
position: relative;
height: 0px;
font-size: 0px;
border-width: 0px;
}
.bar {
background: #f00;
height: 15px;
position: absolute;
top: -17px;
}
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>value</th>
<th>25%</th>
<th>50%</th>
<th>75%</th>
<th>100%</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">100</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 100%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
<tr class="grey-bg">
<th rowspan="2">80</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 80%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">95</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 95%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
<tr class="grey-bg">
<th rowspan="2">18</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 18%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">5</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 5%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
</table>
The complete solution you may here.
The main idea is to add 2 separate tr for each line: one for background, ticks, etc and another one - for the bar iteself. The 2nd row contains only 2 cells: for heading and for the bar. So the 2ns cell has width of 100%. Changing width of the div inside will draw the correct bar. Also div has to be shifted to the upper row:
.bar {
height: 15px;
position: absolute;
top: -17px;
}
but to make it works - the row has to become relative:
.bar-row td {
position: relative;
height: 0px;
font-size: 0px;
border-width: 0px;
}
table {
width: 100%;
}
th, td {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
width: 20%;
text-align: right;
padding: 0px;
}
td {
vertical-align: top;
}
.grey-bg {
background: #ccc;
}
.bar-row td {
position: relative;
height: 0px;
font-size: 0px;
border-width: 0px;
}
.bar {
background: #f00;
height: 15px;
position: absolute;
top: -17px;
}
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>value</th>
<th>25%</th>
<th>50%</th>
<th>75%</th>
<th>100%</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">100</th>
<td></td>

</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">

</tr>

<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 80%" class="bar"><div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">95</th>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bar-row">
<td colspan="4"><div style="width: 95%" class="bar"><div></td>

How to add a scrollbar to an HTML5 table?

I have an table in HTML5 that I would like to add a scrollbar to. I want the table to show ten rows and then the user can scroll down to see other songs. How can I add the scrollbar?
Here is my code for the table in HTML5:
<table id="my_table" table border="5">
<tr>
<th>URL</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>http://www.youtube.com/embed/evuSpI2Genw</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>http://www.youtube.com/embed/evuSpI2Genw</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is my CSS code:
#my_table {
border-radius: 20px;
background-color: transparent;
color: black;
width: 500px;
text-align: center;
}
If you have heading to your table columns and you don't want to scroll those headings then this solution could help you:
This solution needs thead and tbody tags inside table element.
table.tableSection {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
table.tableSection thead, table.tableSection tbody {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
table.tableSection tbody {
overflow: auto;
height: 150px;
}
table.tableSection tr {
width: 100%;
display: table;
text-align: left;
}
table.tableSection th, table.tableSection td {
width: 33%;
}
Working fiddle
With comments
Note: If you are sure that the vertical scrollbar is always present, then you can use css3 calc property to make the thead cells align with the tbody cells.
table.tableSection thead {
padding-right:18px; /* 18px is approx. value of width of scroll bar */
width: calc(100% - 18px);
}
You can do the same by detecting presence of scrollbar using javascript and applying the above styles.
Instead of assuming as fixed width columns.
CSS
table.tableSection {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
table.tableSection thead,
table.tableSection tbody {
width: 100%;
}
table.tableSection thead {
overflow-y: scroll;

Working Fiddle
This is technique I have used on a number of occasions. It is originally based on this fiddle with a number of modifications. It is also fluid and column widths can be fixed by adding a width style to the <th>.
/* this is for the main container of the table, also sets the height of the fixed header row */
.headercontainer {
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #222;
padding-top: 37px;
background: #000;
}
/* this is for the data area that is scrollable */
.tablecontainer {
overflow-y: auto;
height: 200px;
background: #fff;
}
/* remove default cell borders and ensures table width 100% of its container*/
.tablecontainer table {
border-spacing: 0;
width:100%;
}
/* add a thin border to the left of cells, but not the first */
.tablecontainer td + td {
border-left:1px solid #eee;
}
/* cell padding and bottom border */
.tablecontainer td, th {
border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
padding: 10px;
}
/* make the default header height 0 and make text invisible */
.tablecontainer th {
height: 0px;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
line-height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}
/* reposition the divs in the header cells and place in the blank area of the headercontainer */
.tablecontainer th div{
visibility: visible;
position: absolute;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
padding: 9px 10px;
top: 0;
margin-left: -10px;
line-height: normal;
border-left: 1px solid #222;
}
/* prevent the left border from above appearing in first div header */
th:first-child div{
border: none;

Also as a JSFiddle
A year or so has passed since the question was asked, but I wasn't satisfied with the answers. I fiddled for a while, and here is a code that:
works in IE8+ and all other browsers;
is very easy to understand;
lines up the cell borders perfectly (fixed-width cells);
fixes the head while the body scrolls;
automatically adapts to touch screens.

For beginner programmer:
If you don't want to download and host jQuery yourself, you can include it from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
Adding jQuery to Your Web Pages click here.
Reference: HERE
You can use a division class with the overflow attribute using the value scroll. Or you can enclose the table inside an iframe. The iframe works well with old and new IE browsers, but it may not work with other browsers and probably not with the latest IE.
#myid { overflow-x: scroll; overflow-y: hide; width:200px; /* Or whatever the amount of pixels */ }
.myid { overflow-x: scroll; overflow-y: hide; width:200px; /* Or whatever the amount of pixels */ }

My simplest solution is based on fixed columns layout. You'll have to set the width of each column, for example: 4 columns 100px each is equal to 400px total width.
table {
table-layout: fixed;
width: 400px;
}
td, th {
width: 100px;
}
The fixed table layout algorithm has many advantages over the automatic table layout algorithm (for example: the horizontal layout only depends on the table's width and the width of the columns, not the contents of the cells; allows a browser to lay out the table faster than the automatic table layout; the browser can begin to display the table once the first row has been received; etc.)
Then, you'll have to separate the thead from the tbody by forcing their display style to block rather than to the default table-*
thead tr {
display: block;
}
tbody {
display: block;
height: 256px;
overflow-y: auto;
}
That what will make the tbody scrollable as a separate box and the thead unrelated from it. And that's the main reason why you had to fix the column widths as done above.
Working JsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/angiolep/65q1gdcy/1/
This was a challenging question. I think I finally have a solution that satisfies complete requirements: a vertical and horizontal scrollable dynamic table (dynamic because you can change the amount of rows and columns, and no cells have fixed width or height).
The HTML and CSS layout is quite simple as other people have mentioned. The key issue is recalculating (JavaScript) cell widths. And to make sure horizontal scrolling works, I also recalculate theader and tbody width.
Here's a fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/jmarcos00/6hv0dsj8/1/
HTML code:
<!--
thead and tbody have identifiers
table is inside a div container
-->
<div>
<table>
<thead id="mythead">
<tr>
<th>header one</th>
<th>two</th>
<th>header three</th>
<th>header one</th>
<th>two</th>
<th>header three</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="mytbody">
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
<td>one</td>
<td>data two</td>
<td>three</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
CSS code:
/* table border rule */
table, td, th { border: 1px solid black; }
/* display as block plus display vertical scroll bars */
thead, tbody { display: block; overflow-y: scroll; }
/* sample height */
tbody { height: 100px; }
/* sample width and horizontal scroll bar */
div { width: 200px; overflow-x: auto; }
JavaScript code:
var i, w, wtot, thtot, thw, tdw, theadtr, tbodytr;
var th_rect, td_rect, theadtr_rect, tbodytr_rect;
var safe = new Array();
// get thead and tbody
var mythead = document.getElementById("mythead");
var mytbody = document.getElementById("mytbody");
// get first tr of thead and tbody
theadtr = mythead.children[0];
tbodytr = mytbody.children[0];
theadtr_rect = theadtr.getBoundingClientRect();
tbodytr_rect = tbodytr.getBoundingClientRect();
// get width difference of longer first tr
// difference between tr and parent
if (tbodytr_rect.width > theadtr_rect.width)
wtot = mytbody.getBoundingClientRect().width - tbodytr_rect.width;
else
wtot = mythead.getBoundingClientRect().width - theadtr_rect.width;
// get width difference between tr and total th width (first step)
thtot = theadtr_rect.width;
// get th thead array and td tbody array
theadtr = theadtr.children;
tbodytr = tbodytr.children;
// get loop
for (i = 0; i < theadtr.length; i++)
{
// second step for width difference between tr and total th width
th_rect = theadtr[i].getBoundingClientRect();
td_rect = tbodytr[i].getBoundingClientRect();
thtot -= th_rect.width;
// get width of each th and first row td (without paddings etc)
tdw = parseFloat(window.getComputedStyle(tbodytr[i]).getPropertyValue("width"));
thw = parseFloat(window.getComputedStyle(theadtr[i]).getPropertyValue("width"));
// get bigger width
w = (tdw > thw) ? tdw : thw;
safe.push(w);
// add to width total (decimal value with paddings etc)
w = (tdw > thw) ? td_rect.width : th_rect.width;
wtot += w;
}
// consider tr width and total th width difference
wtot += thtot;
// set loop
for (i = 0; i < theadtr.length; i++)
{
// set width to th and first row td
w = safe[i] + "px";
theadtr[i].style.width = w;
tbodytr[i].style.width = w;
}
// set width for thead and tbody
wtot = wtot + "px";
mythead.style.width = wtot;
mytbody.style.width = wtot;
I first tried the accepted answer by Mr Green, but I found my columns didn't align, that float:left seems very suspicious. When I went from no scollbar to scrollbar -- my table body shifted a few pixels and I lost alignment.
