Topic: Tables max width (Page 1 of 1)

The subject saysit all, i have a table that covers 80% of the screen, but when it reach 1000 px i want it to stop growing

Osaires: Hmmmmmmmm its doable in CSS2 but browser support is still patchy. Look up min-width in the CSS compatibiliy charts.

hmm, Yeah would be nice to have that browser suport though.

Thought maby it could be possible with to tables, but i havn't found a solution to it yet

You could do that with javascript, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Appart from that, I'm stumped.

Yeah, CSS2's max-width property is fantastic. Works great in NN7, Mozilla 1, and OP 7.

But not in IE =(

As said before, min-width and max-width are the way to go. Unfortunately, IE doesn't support this CSS2. Another useful property is "white-space". (Not really related but...) Again, no support from IE.

Hmm.. is this a layout table or a data table?

ozphactor: Are you sure IE doesn't support white-space? I know IE 5 doesn't, but I've had at least some success using it in IE 6. I wouldn't be surprised if it's buggy, but I think it is partially supported.

max-width would be ideal for this situation, which is frustrating. I'm not sure what you can do...

Oops.

Take that back. IE6 seems to fully support white-space. (Who would've guessed...)

That's funny. I don't remember it working correctly before.
Well, we all make mistakes (especially me).


Thanks for the correction.
