How to make table grows and shrinks automatically with screen size?

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Set the table and cell widths to % instead of pixels
- but your content will still rule the minimum size

This is OT but I noticed that your response to the question has a date / time earlier than the question. I don't believe I've ever
seen that before.

That is the only thing I could figure.

Hi,

Thanks. I did that.

But I was confused for the following.
What if I have a page with several tables and some of then are using include
files with tables as well.

Do I have to set 100% for tables in the pages displaying results of include
files?

Or do I have to set 100% for each of the include page using tables AND those
pages displaying the results?

Many thanks.

If you are using a liquid layout (that will expand/contract to fit any
browser size) all tables and cell widths should be expressed in %s,
this applies to tables in includes, shared borders (if used) nested
tables - every table.
Any table that has a width expressed in pixels will take on that size
(as a minimum) and may expand any table or page it is in so it will
fit, to the possible detriment of your page layout.

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Depends on your design and needs
You can constrain any table / cell(column) w/ a fixed px size as long there is also an appropriate variable width column/table to
take up the slack

Hi,

Appreciate the kind response from Stefan and Ronx.

After some testing, I guess I have to take Ronx's approach. Even if I
missed one cell, the entire page will not adjust with the screen size.

Thanks a lot.
