Table Scrolling Problem

A Question · Joined: 12 Dec 2007 Posts: 1

Hi,

I have a table which I need to display within a div of a fixed width. The
length of the table exceeds the width of the div which is ok as I can make
the div scrollable. The problem that I have is that the cells in the table
must be a fixed with because they need to co-incide with another table which
is going to be in another scrolling div below.

The problem is if I restrict the with of the containing div to something
less than the with of the table. The table then attempts to crunch the
table width to the least width and thus reduces the table cell widths and
ignores the fixes widht size applied tot he style.

How can I get around this.

the simple solution would be to
1. create transparent.gif with size 1x1 pixel
2. To the headers of columns add

height=1>

This will keep your columns to be at least 100 pixels.

PS: There might be easier solutions with CSS. Mine is just a suggestion and
will work with any browser.

George.

Hi, yes, its a possibility. I have also found that fixing the width of the
table acheives the same thing. Thanks for your help.
