I have a table with 2 rows where i need varying cell width as
<body bgcolor="#14B3D9">
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<tr>
<td width="25%">25</td>
<td width="50%">50</td>
<td width="25%">25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50%">50</td>
<td width="30%">30</td>
<td width="20%">20</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
I cannot get the width as specified the second row also gets the width of the first row.
Select your table. On the Layout tab, in the Cell Size group, click AutoFit. Click Fixed Column Width.
By using CSS, the styling of HTML elements is easy to modify. To fix the width of td tag the nth-child CSS is used to set the property of specific columns(determined by the value of n) in each row of the table.
To set the cell width and height, use the CSS style. The height and width attribute of the <td> cell isn't supported in HTML5. Use the CSS property width and height to set the width and height of the cell respectively. Just keep in mind, the usage of style attribute overrides any style set globally.
to do this with one table you need to introduce more columns and then get the column widths by using colspan
so you can get the combined widths you require
to get this to work well across browser you will possibly need to use the <col> and <colgroup>
