I have the following code:
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.colspan2 {
/* What to do here? */
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Pretty straightforward. How do I add a colspan (or the equivalent of colspan) for elements with display: table-cell?
As far as I know, the lack of colspan/rowspan is just one of the limitations of display:table. See this post:
http://www.onenaught.com/posts/201/use-css-displaytable-for-layout
Since OP does not explicitly rule that solution must be pure CSS, I'll be stubborn and throw in my workaround I figured out today, especially since it's much more elegant than having a table inside a table.
Example equals to <table> with two cells per row and two rows, where the cell in the second row is a td with colspan="2".
I have tested this with Iceweasel 20, Firefox 23 and IE 10.
div.table {
display: table;
width: 100px;
background-color: lightblue;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.row {
display: table-row;
}
div.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.colspan,
div.colspan+div.cell {
border: 0;
}
div.colspan>div {
width: 1px;
}
div.colspan>div>div {
position: relative;
width: 99px;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">cell 1</div>
<div class="cell">cell 2</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan">
<div><div>
cell 3
</div></div>
</div>
<div class="cell"></div>
</div>
</div>
Live action (demo) here.
EDIT:
I finetuned the code to be more printer-friendly, as they leave background-colors out by default. I also created rowspan-demo, inspired by late answer here.
A simpler solution that works for me in Chrome 30 :
Colspan can be emulated by using display: table instead of display: table-row for the rows :
.table {
display: block;
}
.row {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.row.colspan2 {/* You'll have to add the 'colspan2' class to the row, and remove the unused <div class=cell> inside it */
display: block;
}
The only pitfall is that the cells of stacked rows won't align vertically, as they're from different tables.
If you're looking for a straight CSS way to simulate a colspan, you could use display: table-caption.
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.colspan2 {
/* What to do here? */
display: table-caption;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Simply use a table.
table's are only frowned upon when being used for layout purposes.
This seems like tabular data (rows/columns of data). Therefore I would recommend using a table.
See my answer to this question for more information:
creating the same thing with divs as tables
Here's one way to span columns in CSS I used for my own situation.
https://jsfiddle.net/mb8npttu/
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dotted red;
}
.colspan {
max-width: 1px;
overflow: visible;
}
<div class='table'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='cell colspan'>
spanning
</div>
<div class='cell'></div>
<div class='cell'></div>
</div>
<div class='row'>
<div class='cell'>1</div>
<div class='cell'>2</div>
<div class='cell'>3</div>
</div>
</div>
There is a solution to make the colspan the widht of the entire table. You can not use this technique to colspan a part of the table.
Code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.table {
display: table;
position: relative;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
.colspan {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.dummycell {
border-color: transparent;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell dummycell"> </div>
<div class="cell colspan">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Explanation:
We use position absolute on the colspan to make it the full width of the table. The table itself needs position relative. We make use of a dummycell to maintain the height of the rows, position absolute does not follow the flow of the document.
Of course you can also use flexbox and grid to tackle this problem these days.
CSS
.tablewrapper {
position: relative;
}
.table {
display: table;
position: relative
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
border: 1px solid red;
display: table-cell;
}
.cell.empty
{
border: none;
width: 100px;
}
.cell.rowspanned {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100px;
}
.cell.colspan {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
HTML
<div class="tablewrapper">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell rowspanned">
Center
</div>
<div class="cell">
Top right
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell empty"></div>
<div class="cell colspan">
Bottom right
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Code
It can be done just with pure CSS and centering the text across the "fake" colspan.
The trick is to set the rows to position:relative, then to place "empty divs" in the row where you want to make the colspan (they must have height in order to work), set the cell where the content is in as display:grid, and finally, applying position:absolute to the element inside the cell (and center it as you may center any other absolute element).
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
position: relative;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
height: 26px;
padding: 0 8px;
}
.colspan2 {
display: grid;
}
.colspan2 p {
position:absolute;
left: 50%;
transform:translateX(-50%);
margin: 0;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2"><p>Cell</p></div>
<div class="cell"></div>
</div>
</div>
By using the appropriate div classes and CSS attributes, you can mimic the desired effects of the colspan and rowspan.
Here's the CSS
.table {
display:table;
}
.row {
display:table-row;
}
.cell {
display:table-cell;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Here's the sample HTML
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">X</div>
<div class="cell">Y</div>
<div class="cell">Z</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">2</div>
<div class="cell">4</div>
<div class="cell">6</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">A</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">B</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cell">
ROW SPAN
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
From what I'm seeing in both the questions, and most responses, is people seem to forget that in any given div that's acting as a "table-cell" you can insert another div that's acting like an embedded table, and start the process over.
***It's not glamorous, but it does work for those looking for this type of formatting and they want to avoid the TABLEs. If its for DATA LAYOUT, TABLEs do still work in HTML5.
Hopefully, this will help someone.
You can set the position of colspan content as "relative" and the row as "absolute" like this:
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
position: relative;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.colspan2 {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
You can't achieve this at present.
AFAIK this would be covered by CSS Tables, a specification which appears to currently be at "work in progress" state.
You can try this solution, where you can find how to apply colspan using div

Use nested tables to nest column spans...
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Or use 2 tables where the column span covers the whole row...
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Even if this is an old question, I would like to share my solution to this problem.

<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>

content: "c";
display: inline;
visibility: hidden;
}
.spanned-content {
position: absolute;
}
</style>
Here is a fiddle.
It's not really a span, and the solution is a bit hacky, but it is usefull in some situations. Tested on Chrome 46, Firefox 31 and IE 11.
In my case, I had to present some non-tabular data in a tabular way, keeping the width of the columns and giving title to sub-sections of the data.

You have to deal with floats and for this you need to understand what floats and BFC are :
a few ways to do this, that you should understand once you been reading a bit about floats, clearing and Block formating context.
(last example in the snippet below, oldish, even avoids the floats but does the layout)
/* DEMO purpose : Show the id or class being used on that container*/
section:before {
content: attr(id)' 'attr(class);
display: table;
background: #177EE5;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 0 0 1px black, 0 0 1px black, 0 0 1px black, 0 0 1px black, 0 0 1px black, 0 0 1px black;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
/* your css turned into class to be valid since used for many tags */
.container {
background-color: #333333;
width: 990px;
}
.left {
background-color: red;
width: 300px;
float: left;
}
.splitter {
background-color: green;
width: 90px;
float: left;
}
.right {
background-color: blue;
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
/* wrapper for each examples */
section {
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 1em;
}

.overflow .container {

float: left;
}

There could be more examples from the same chunks of code and floatting children.
Clear the floats in the container.
You have 3 simple ways to do that:
1. Float
#container {
clear: both;
}
2. Overflow
#container {
overflow: hidden;
}
3. Micro clearfix hack

Here is what you want done bro..

How to remove the space between inline/inline-block elements?
(41 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Today I am facing a big problem with centering floated elements that have set custom width. For better explanation I made a snippet for you:
body { text-align: center; }
.square {
width: 20%; height: 100px;
background: cornflowerblue;
float: left;
}
.container {
display: inline-block;
}
<div>
<div class="container">
<div class="square">a</div>
<div class="square">b</div>
<div class="square">c</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<div class="container">
<div class="square">a</div>
<div class="square">b</div>
<div class="square">c</div>
<div class="square">d</div>
<div class="square">e</div>
</div>
</div>
The problem is that first three squares get shrinked after centering.
The reason why I am floating the elements is that the second container has to be same as first container and it must contain 5 elements (to cover full width of document). Here is how it looks like without floating (see the gabs between elements):
body { text-align: center; }
.square {
width: 20%; height: 100px;
background: cornflowerblue;
display: inline-block;
}
.container {
display: block;
}
<div>
<div class="container">
<div class="square">a</div>
<div class="square">b</div>
<div class="square">c</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<div class="container">
<div class="square">a</div>
<div class="square">b</div>
<div class="square">c</div>
<div class="square">d</div>
<div class="square">e</div>
</div>
</div>
Now the elements have right width, but the second line doesn't cover width of document because of the gabs between elements.
Is there any way to have floated elements with custom width centered? Which styles I should use for container element?
OK, I think I got what you need
.square {
width: 20%; height: 100px;
background: cornflowerblue;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 1rem;
}
.container {
display: block;
font-size:0;
}
jsfiddle
body { text-align: center; }
.square {
width: 20%; height: 100px;
background: cornflowerblue;
float: left;
}
.container {
width:100%;
margin-right:20%;
margin-left:20%;
}
Are you looking for something like this?
Add min-width:7px; this will solve your issue
body { text-align: center; }
.square {
width: 20%;
height: 100px;
background: cornflowerblue;
float: left;
min-width:7px;
}
.container {
display: inline-block;
}
<div>
<div class="container">
<div class="square">a</div>
<div class="square">b</div>
<div class="square">c</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
<div>

Here your 5 div row era is also working.
I wish to create a matrix of cells with the names of people. I want to create a 3 by 3 matrix of names. So far I just have one row of names, but I want to add another two rows. I know I can do this using the HTML "tr" and "td" tags, but is there a way I can do this purely using CSS?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color: lightgray}
div {
float:left;
width: 300px;
padding: 25px;
border: 25px solid navy;
margin: 25px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>James</div><div>Richard</div><div>Kevin</div>
</body>
</html>
You can try using flexbox:
.flex {
font: 14px Arial;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.flex > div {
flex: 1 1 auto;
width: 33.3%;
box-sizing:border-box;
border:1px solid black;
text-align:center;
line-height:20px;
padding:5px;
}
<div class="flex">
<div>James</div>
<div>Richard</div>
<div>Kevin</div>
<div>James</div>
<div>Richard</div>
<div>Kevin</div>
</div>

CSS3 has columns property:
.divTable
{
-webkit-columns: 1px 3;
-moz-columns: 1px 3;
columns: 1px 3;
}
<div class='divTable'>
<div>James</div><div>Richard</div><div>Kevin</div>
<div>James</div><div>Richard</div><div>Kevin</div>
<div>James</div><div>Richard</div><div>Kevin</div>
</div>
It forms columns first and then rows (all Jameses will go to the first row). But it flexible with regards to the width.
You could keep using div elements and still achieve your 3x3 matrix by just wrapping every row with a div.
.row{
width: 390px;
}
.row div{
float:left;
width: 50px;
padding: 25px;
border: 5px solid black;
margin: 10px;
}
<div class="row">
<div>James</div>
<div>Richard</div>
<div>Kevin</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div>James</div>
<div>Richard</div>
<div>Kevin</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div>James</div>
<div>Richard</div>
<div>Kevin</div>
</div>
How about this:
<style>
.main div {
float:left;
margin:3px;
width:80px;
height:80px;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.main div:nth-child(3n+1) {
clear:left;
}
</style>
<div class="main">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
.Table

Is there a better way to absolutely position a bunch of boxes to the left and right like this? Perhaps using flexbox?
http://jsfiddle.net/frank_o/zpv4jbmx/
HTML:
<div class="box first">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<div class="box second">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
...
CSS:
.box {
position: absolute;
background: blue;
color: white;
}
.box.first, .box.third, .box.fifth {
left: 20px;
}
.box.second, .box.fourth, .box.sixth {
right: 20px;
}
.box.first {
top: 20px;
}
.box.second {
top: 120px;
}
...
Since we are going for "better", you could use floating and CSS even/odd rules, like so:
HTML
<div class="box">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<div class="box">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<div class="box">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<div class="box">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<div class="box">
<h1>Lipsum</h1>
</div>
<!-- As many as you'd like... -->
CSS
.box {
background: blue;
color: white;
}
.box:nth-child(odd){
float: left;
clear: both;
}
.box:nth-child(even){
float: right;
clear: both;
}
The result is the same, but the implementation is much more scalable.

It looks like a table, but I'd like to implement it by using only CSS.
What is the most robust style for this layout that works with all browser?
_________
| A |__b__|
|_A_|__c__|
<div class='container'>
<div class='sectA'> A </div>
<div>
<div class="sectB"> b </div>
<div class="sectC"> c </div>
</div>
</div>
You need one more div and two more classes, but it's very easy:
HTML
<div class='container'>
<div class='sectA'> A </div>
<div class="separator">
<div class="sectB"> b </div>
<div class="sectC"> c </div>
</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
CSS:
.container div.sectA
{
float: left;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px dotted #000;
}
div.separator
{
float: left;
}
div.sectB,
div.sectC
{
float: none;
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px dotted #f00;
}
.clear
{
clear: both;
}
