Peter, that solved the vertical alignment issue. But i am still missing the wrapping of the fields. Some of the texts are very long

If you search for this record: 1B. 214 (don’t forget the space in the middle). This is a good example.

Peter, I am back with my next problem which is also related to formatting.

The discussion above is related to a very simple database with only 3 columns and nothing collapsed.

No I have gone on to something more advanced:

The page is here:

https://test.arma-dania.dk/?page_id=484

A good example is on page 4. Stempel: 1B. 214, Line number 32110

When you expand this record, it appears that my CSS is not affecting anything of what was collapsed. I have tried to affect the vertical alignment with

table.dataTable.nowrap th, table.dataTable.nowrap td {
    vertical-align: top;
} 

But is is not affecting the collapsed part of the record.

Also, the column stempel_paa is not wrapped. I tried both

#View_avd_stempel7.dataTable.nowrap td.stempel_paa {
  white-space: normal;
}

and

.dataTable.nowrap td.stempel_paa {
	max-width: 300px !important;
  white-space: normal;

But with no result as you see from the table.

Is there a simple solution to this?

I hope so because I have 9 databases which contains hundreds of articles with lots of text and photos. The database here is still quite simple compared with the rest of the stuff.

Here is an example of a typical record:

Hi, sorry for not providing this in the first instance

Se page 2 of the table

Peter, thanks for reply.

I have created a view with the necessary information and it works.

However, vertical alignment is set to Bottom for all the columns and it looks rather bad. Is there a way to set vertical alignment to Top as default for all tables created by WP Data Access?

I see that you are using Top in your example tables, but I could not see where you set that option.

Peter

This worked also. I think my initial problems are solved. I think you can close this one.

And once again, thanks for the help. I am sure that I will be back with more questions.

Best regards
Morten

Thanks for the advice, but as I said earlier, I am not a programmer, I am a editor. I come from a PHPRunner environment where you specify what you want by ticking boxes in the setup. No programming.

If it is so complicated to get WP Data access to show my simplest table within my screen widths, it may not be se solution to my problems. It is a shame because I would really like to switch to wordpress and WP Data Access looked like a solution to by problem.
