empecher les colonnes d’un tableau de déborder

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5590778/how-to-set-column-widths-to-a-jquery-datatable

I have a jQuery datatable(outlined in red), but what happens is that the table jumps out of the width I have set for the div(which is 650 px).

Here is the screen shot: enter image description here

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">

    var ratesandcharges1;

    $(document).ready(function() {

        /* Init the table*/
        $("#ratesandcharges1").dataTable({
            "bRetrieve": false,
            "bFilter": false,
            "bSortClasses": false,
            "bLengthChange": false,
            "bPaginate": false,
            "bInfo": false,
            "bJQueryUI": true,
            "bAutoWidth": false,
            "aaSorting": [[2, "desc"]],
            "aoColumns": [
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '9%' },
            { sWidth: '10%' } ]
        });

        ratesandcharges1.fnDraw();

    });
</script>
<div id="ratesandcharges1Div" style="width: 650px;"> 

<table id="ratesandcharges1" class="grid" >
    <thead>

</div>

Try setting the width on the table itself:

<table id="ratesandcharges1" class="grid" style="width: 650px;">

You’ll have to adjust the 650 by a couple pixels to account for whatever padding, margins, and borders you have.

You’ll probably still have some issues though. I don’t see enough horizontal space for all those columns without mangling the headers, reducing the font sizes, or some other bit of ugliness.

mu is too short

yeah I tried that. Still the same result in the browser. Is it possible to set the width to 650px and make the datatable scrollable from left to right to see the content on the far right. Thks for the reply. – Haxed Apr 8 ’11 at 5:37
You could put overflow-x: auto on #ratesandcharges1Div, that would put a horizontal scrollbar on the surrounding <div>. – mu is too short Apr 8 ’11 at 5:46
Was helpful. Thanks. – Haxed Apr 8 ’11 at 6:58

I found this on 456 Bera St. Man is it a lifesaver!!!

http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200704/how_to_prevent_html_tables_from_becoming_too_wide/

But – you don’t have a lot of room to spare with your data.

CSS FTW:

<style>
table {
    table-layout:fixed;
}
td{
    overflow:hidden;
    text-overflow: elipsis;
}
</style>

$(document).ready(function () {
     $("#companiesTable").dataTable({
              "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
              "bJQueryUI": true,
              "bAutoWidth": false, // Disable the auto width calculation 
              "aoColumns": [
                               { "sWidth": "30%" }, // 1st column width 
                               { "sWidth": "30%" }, // 2nd column width 
                               { "sWidth": "40%" } // 3rd column width and so on 
                           ]
     });
});

specify the css for table 

table.display {
      margin: 0 auto;
      width: 100%;
      clear: both;
      border-collapse: collapse;
      table-layout: fixed; // ***********add this 
      word-wrap:break-word; // ***********and this 
}

<table id="companiesTable" class="display"> 
<thead>
<tr>
   <th>Company name</th>
   <th>Address</th>
   <th>Town</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
   <% for(Company c: DataRepository.GetCompanies()){ %>
<tr>    
   <td><%=c.getName()%></td>
   <td><%=c.getAddress()%></td>
   <td><%=c.getTown()%></td>
</tr>
   <% } %>
</tbody>
</table>

It works for me.......

Exactly what I needed: the config options. – ChrisCantrell May 28 at 18:26

In java script calculate width using following code

var scrollX = $(window).width()*58/100; var oTable = $('#reqAllRequestsTable').dataTable({ "sScrollX": scrollX } );
