YUI Datatable Width

Question

This may seem like a basic question, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to set the table width to 100% on a YUI datatable.

I tried doing

#dtContainer {
    width: 100%;
}

#dtContainer table {
    width: 100%
}

but none of these approaches work.

To clarify, I am trying to set the datatable width to 100% when the table is empty and the empty message is displayed.

The generated table is an HTML table; so, I thought this should work.

Answer 1

Dont use .yui-dt table { width:100%;} , It doesn't appear to set the column widths correctly. Use myDataTable.setAttributes({width:"100%"},true); after table render
