Specifically define column width absolutely?

    Hi Tobias,

    how can you force a specific column to take a defined width?

    I have already defined various column widths in custom CSS, but unfortunately, for example, the 5th (“Questions / Answers”) column does not have a wider range (500px).

    Since I work in the collaps mode, it would have only the remaining following columns actually only break !?

    Here is my live-demo …

    Regards,
    Max

    Hi Max,

    this is probably caused by the table still taking up 100% of the width. So, if the sum of assigned column widths is not 100%, one column will get bigger.
    It might also be possible that there’s content/text in that column somewhere (it might be any row), that requires this column width, because the text in it is that long and can not be word-wrapped.

    You are basically experiencing one of the major challenges with HTML tables on the web: Getting the column widths right. Unfortunately, there’s no definite answer to that, especially when things like responsiveness also play a big role :-/

    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,

    I already suspected. But I did not want to leave it untried to ask.

    Thanks anyway!
