hi there,
can somebody please explain to me how to make a very rigid/fixed column width.
i m having this table like below:
| Code: |
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td width=200> </td><th colspan=2>name</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=200>time1</td>
<td width=40>a1</td><td width=40>b1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=200>time2</td>
<td width=40>a2</td><td width=40>b2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=200>time3</td>
<td width=40>a3</td><td width=40>b3</td>
</tr>
|
everytime i submit to the same page, the column a1 and b1 became too big(it is at least not 40px)? why? what did i do wrong here?
btw, the table above is within another table. |

Try using styles
| Code: |
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td style="width: 200px;"> </td>
<td colspan="2">name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 200px;">time1</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">a1</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">b1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 200px;">time2</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">a2</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">b2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 200px;">time3</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">a3</td>
<td style="width: 40px;">b3</td>
</tr>
</table> |
to help control the width. But id the data is more than 40px, the <td> will need to expand.

it does not help. here is other information. i m using a button (along with the table) to submit to itself which mean there is a form exist in the page and also the table as above.
I dont know whether this would affect the table rendering. |

Does the <th> have a width set? If not then it won't wrap text because it does not know where to break to a new line. Add a width.  |

ok, i solve the case already. in the hidden input value, there s a line of many " ".that is causing the table not to wrap. i just replace ";nbsp" with space.
regards.
