Pb with "width" of Table and "*"

[freddybee]

Hi,

I do have a table with n+1 cells (TD).
Each of the first n cells have a content (text), the last one is empty.
My table has a width of 100%.
I want each of the first n cell to be wide enough to show the texte and the last one to fullfill the rest of the space ...
<-------------------------- width of the sreen ----------------------------->
(Text1 I Another Text I One more text I I

I have
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Text1</td>
<td>Another Text</td>
<td>One more Text</td>
<td width="*"></td>

But the result is that all cell are wider than supposed (there are not restrict to the width of the text).

Any idea ???

Thanks and merry xmas

Try giving the cells that contain text a fixed width.

Of course that is a solution ....

.... but I do not know in advance the content (it is dynamic) so I can't fix the size of the cell !!!!

Any other idea ???

Any other idea ???

yeah

in your case either use width="100%" or just leave out width...

Sorry but my table is already set with a 100% ....

If you mean the cells (TD) that doesn't work ..

Any working idea ?

This is a working idea:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Text1</td>
<td>Another Text</td>
<td>One more Text</td>
<td width="100%"></td>

[Mr J]

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100">Text1</td>
<td width="200">Another Text</td>
<td width="200">Adding a fixed with to a cell means that the text will wrap within that cell</td>
<td>&ampnbsp;</td>
</tr></table>
