Table with 100% width with equal size columns

Question

I have to dynamically create a table with a variable number of columns, determined at runtime.

Can somebody tell me if it's possible to have a html table with equal size columns that are fully stretched?

Answer 1

If you don't know how many columns you are going to have, the declaration

table-layout: fixed

along with not setting any column widths, would imply that browsers divide the total width evenly - no matter what.

That can also be the problem with this approach, if you use this, you should also consider how overflow is to be handled.
