Hey guys,
I'm generating reports using HTML tables and having loads of issues with regards to column widths.
Ideally, I want the table to show all cell content without wrapping or hiding anything, so the columns should automatically be wide enough to fit the cell with the longest contents.
However, I have the following caveats:
1. I don't know how many columns will be in the table
2. I can't set the width of the table (because it should be as wide as is needed, given the description above)
3. I am running expand/collapse operations on the table using jquery (when a button is clicked) and so performance is also an issue (currently IE runs dog slow, firefox is lightening fast)
I have tried various combinations of table-layout and white-space css properties but no joy yet.
Any recommendations? Or is this just not possible in IE?...
