I have a problem in layout in my spring MVC application. In my app, table which is containing in div going out of it even I set a width parameter for this div. I tried many solutions which I googled but without success. Here is my jsp file, CSS file, and screen from my app. As you can see when text in table is long it's not break to new line (as I want).
CSS file:
th,td {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: #BCBCBC;
}
#all {
width: 500px;
}
#tablediv {
width: 400px;
float: left;
}
jsp file:
<body>
<h3>All your notes:</h3>
<c:if test="${!empty notes}"/>
<form method="post" action="manage_note">
<div id="all">
<div id="tablediv">
<table>
<tr>
<th class="widther">Note date</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<c:forEach items="${notes}" var="note">
<tr>
<td class="widther">${note.date} ${note.time}</td>
<td >${note.description}</td>
<td><input type="radio" name="chosen_note" value="${note.note_id}"></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</div>
<div id="addbutton">
<input name="add_note" type="submit" value="Add note"/>
</div>
</div>
<div id="restbuttons">
<input name="edit_note" type="submit" value="Edit"/>
<input name="delete_note" type="submit" value="Delete"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
And here is screen:

The trick is to use the CSS property table-layout. It can take three values: auto , fixed , and inherit . The normal (initial) value is auto , which means that the table width is given by its columns and any borders. In other words, it expands if necessary.
Option 1: surround your cell contents with a SPAN tag, add a css class cellContent to it, as shown below. Following sample code works only if your table do not contain any images whose size exceeds the size of the parent DIV container.
Yes you can put table tag inside div tag .
To prevent cells (rows) from expanding vertically, you have to set a fixed height for table rows. Select the relevant rows and, on the Table Tools Layout tab, click Properties. On the Row tab, select "Specify height" and then choose "Exactly" for "Row height is." Specify the desired amount.
You'll need to do two things to prevent the table from becoming too large.
1) Set the table-layout to fixed:
table {
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
2) Set word-wrap to break-word for td/th
th,td {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px;
border-color: #BCBCBC;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
