I'm having some trouble formatting a table! I want to make a table in which all the cells stay at an equal width and height. In other words, so they don't overflow.
I can make it so that the cells don't overflow in the x-axis, by using table-layout:fixed, but I'm having some trouble preventing the cells overflowing in the y-axis. I want this to be hidden as well, but for some reason the CSS isn't co-operating with me!
I won't go into detail, as this isn't related to the problem I'm having, but I'm not looking for an absolute solution such as having a height:50px style. I would like a general solution to prevent this overflow, please!
I've provided some sample CSS and HTML below. Please let me know if you need any clarifications! http://jsfiddle.net/pdtua295/1/
CSS
table.pztable {
border-collapse:separate;
table-layout:fixed;
overflow:hidden;
margin:0px;
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
td.pzcol {
border:1px dotted #2F2F2F;
padding: 0px 2px 5px 2px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
span.pztext {
font-family:Tahoma;
}
HTML
...
<table class="pztable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="pzcol">
<span class="pztext">Alice</span>
</td>
<td class="pzcol">
<span class="pztext">Bob</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="pzcol">
<span class="pztext">S<br>T<br>R<br>E<br>T<br>C<br>H</span>
</td>
<td class="pzcol">
<span class="pztext">This won't stretch horizontally.</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
...
try this
word-wrap: break-word;
this will break even word

This isn't tested, but in the CSS for the td your should add height: 50px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: ellipsis; that should do it.
Replace your css with
give min width and max-width to table td like
`table.pztable{
border-collapse:separate;
table-layout:fixed;
overflow:hidden;
margin:0px;
}
td.pzcol{
border:1px dotted #2F2F2F;
padding: 0px 2px 5px 2px;
text-align:center;
min-width:150px;
max-width:150px;
}`

I wouldn't call myself a programmer at all but I do know some basic css. However, I have trouble creating a table that looks something like on this site: https://www.slotsia.com.
What I wish to achieve is that row numbering to the far left together with that corner graphic. I'm sure it's all done with css and the numbering is probably automatic.
I use wordpress and the plugin tablepress to create tables.
I did try to put the following code in the css which achieved the numbering, even if it starts wrong with 0 instead of 1.
.tablepress-id-4 {
counter-reset: rowNumber;
}
.tablepress-id-4 tr:not(:first-child) {
counter-increment: rowNumber;
}
.tablepress-id-4 tr td:first-child::before {
content: counter(rowNumber);
min-width: 1em;
margin-right: .5em;
}
Also, the larger text doesn't look like normal fonts? I'm thinking it's font awesome or google fonts or something? How to use that?
Thank you
Here's a fiddle demonstrating to accomplish that index thing in the cell : https://jsfiddle.net/59wfkzgs/2/
HTML
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<span class="index">1</span>
ABC
</td>
<td>
ABC
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span class="index">2</span>
ABC
</td>
<td>DEF</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span class="index">3</span>
ABC
</td>
<td>DEF</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS
table, tr, td {
font-family:"Segoe UI";
padding:20px;
border:solid 1px black;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
td {
text-align:center;
position:relative;
min-width:150px;
}
.index {
position:absolute;
top:-2px;
left:-2px;
width:30px;
height:30px;
border:solid 1px black;
border-radius:0 0 100px 0;
background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.5);
}
You are able to do -almost- everything you want in a table's cells, so you can stylish it in any way you want to. Do not fear of doing so :).
Hope it helps.

I have a gridview and I'm trying to add empty space between each row using CSS.
This doesn't work:
#gridview tr{
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Neither does this:
#gridview td{
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Messing with "border-collapse" does nothing as well.
Anyone know how to add spacing?
Margin will not work in table elements you should use border or padding like the following snippet
table.grid
{
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.grid tr
{
border: 0px solid white;
border-width: 20px 0;
}
<table class="grid ">
<tr>
<td>
Row 1
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Row 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can use it in GridView like this:
<asp:GridView ID="PetGrid" runat="server" CssClass="grid">
use padding:
#gridview td{
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
Use padding in th and td,
th, td {
padding: 15px;
}
Try this
table td {
border-bottom: solid 20px transparent;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
</table>
Which gridview are you using? try "inspect element" on the grid row and check from which .css class the style is getting inherited. try changing some parameters like padding/row height and observe if that works and make the change in the grid's library css or ovverride it with custom class.
#gridview tr{
{
height: 18px;text-align: left;font-weight: bold;color:white;padding: 5px 6px 2px;border-bottom: 2px solid #666666;white-space: nowrap;
}
In specifications margin are ignored for table cells: Link
Try to use padding
#gridview td{
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
I've found some very strange behaviour with Chrome with respect to the following CSS...
CSS:
table.addressBody {
width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
}
table.addressBody tr td {
padding: 4px;
width: 40%;
min-width: 40%;
max-width: 40%;
border: none;
vertical-align: middle;
}
table.addressBody tr td.left, table.addressBody tr td.right {
background-color: White;
border: 2px solid #aaa;
}
table.addressBody tr td.centre {
width: 20%;
min-width: 20%;
max-width: 20%;
text-align: center;
}
HTML:
<div class="fitWidth centre">
<strong>Mr Smith</strong><br />
29/05/2014 11:17:00 - Department, Site
</div>
<table class="addressBody">
<tr>
<td class="left">
<select name="ctl00$phBody$repPatients$ctl01$ddlPickup" id="ctl00_phBody_repPatients_ctl01_ddlPickup"></select>
</td>
<td class="centre" style="border: none;"> </td>
<td class="right">
<select name="ctl00$phBody$repPatients$ctl01$ddlDest" id="ctl00_phBody_repPatients_ctl01_ddlDest"></select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="leftShadow" colspan="2">
<img src="../img/other/bottomShadowLt.png" alt="Shadow" />
</td>
<td class="rightShadow">
<img src="../img/other/bottomShadowRt.png" alt="Shadow" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
(Fiddle)
The problem is the centre cell of the table which has a bottom border, despite the fact that I haven't actually specified that there should be one. I've tried the same code in both IE and FF and both produce the desired result (two outer cells with borders and the inner without).
I have also tried coding the CSS in turn for each border on all of the cells, but as soon as I code the #left cell bottom-border the centre cell is also bordered on the bottom. Also, notice in relation to this question there is no border collapse in the code (unless it's part of Fiddle itself).
Can anyone spot anything obvious that I've missed or know of any bug with Chrome that has a workaround?
-- EDIT --
But you did specify that it have a bottom border:
table.addressBody tr td.centre {
width: 20%;
min-width: 20%;
max-width: 20%;
border-bottom: 2px solid #aaa; <---
text-align: center;
}
As it turns out, my post is, in fact, a duplicate of this question, and so, if you wish to close it, please feel free.

I've got table inside a containing block that has a set width of 400px. When the browser width is less than 421px the containing block width switches to 95%. Cells of type "A" and "B" contain simple text. There is a single cell that contains a link with white-space:nowrap applied.
I need the table to self determine its dimensions (so no table-layout:fixed-width), but not take in to account cell "X" when determining the width of the second column. It is ok to hide the content of cell "X" that doesn't fit.
I have tried applying width:100% with overflow hidden on all manner of different elements, to no avail.

Make sure the following are applied to the .link element.
white-space:nowrap;
overflow:hidden;
text-overflow:ellipsis;
max-width:100px; /* adjust as needed */
This will cut off the link if it's too long, filling in with ... at the end.
I handled a similar problem by limiting the actual size of the text string and then putting the full text in the tool tip. The blog post is HERE.
Got it
td.link{
overflow:hidden;
}
td.link a{
display:block;
overflow:visible;
max-width:10px;
white-space:nowrap;
}
Place a max width on the anchor to keep it from determining the column size for its column, then allow its overflow to be visible. Then hide overflow on the table cell.
The only bad thing about this solution is that text-overflow:ellipsis doesn't work on it because we are hiding block overflow and not text overflow. A sacrifice I am comfortable with in this instance.
If anyone can figure out a way to get text-overflow working with this let me know.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
I have a table with two columns. The width of the 2 columns are set and should not be modified. The first column contains 2 spans standing side by side. The content of the first span has a variable length. The second span also. What I would like to do is to hide the overflow of the second span when the content hits the border. I tried several things but I do not manage to find a solution. Hope someone can help. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc.

.hide-overflow{
background-color:yellow;

I'm not incredibly happy with this, but it does seem to work in Firefox. jsFiddle
table{
width:400px;
border-spacing: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout:fixed;
}
th,td {
border:1px solid black;
white-space: nowrap;
}

th:last-child, td:last-child{
width:50px;
}
.hide-overflow{
background-color:yellow;
}
span.hide-overflow {
