I have a <tdthat contains several elements, some of which are
left-aligned, right-aligned, or centered. I do not know the widths of these
elements beforehand, so I cannot give my <tda fixed width. I want the <td>
to have as small a width as possible without causing anything to wrap, but
IE seems to want to make it bigger. Does anybody know of a good way to
prevent a <tdfrom being stretched to a larger width than necessary?
Thanks.

A <tdwill expand to fit its contents. However, if other rows have more
data in the corresponding cell, then obviously the entire column will expand
to fit the contents of the largest cell.
Check in View Source for what markup is actually being included in the cell
in question...

Here is an example of a <tdusing more space than necessary:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<span style="float:le ft;">Float Left</span>
<span style="float:ri ght;">Float Right</span><br/>
<div
style="width:50 0px;height:500p x;background-color:Orange;"> </div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
You will notice that neither the table or td has a set width, but the float
right hangs over the edge of the div. The table could easily be no more than
the width of the div (in this case 500px) and still fit both span tags in.
Do the floats have anything to do with the problem? I use floats because I
want the spans on the left and right of the same line, and in my code the
width of the div is dynamic (my code also involves more cells than this).

Hello,
If the containing table and td have no width set, the td width will be the
size of the column.
To prevent the wrapping, use the nowrap attribute. See http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/tables/_TD_NOWRAP.html

Hi everyone
Sorry to ask such a simple question. I created a table with 18 columns-
16 of which represent weeks starting from 1 to 16. In each cell I have
a field which takes either a Null value or and "X". Since I only have
at most one (1)character, I would like to make the td with as small as
possible. I have placed width="5px" but it does seem to work. Can
anyone suggest how I can make the cell smaller?
Thanks

Hello!
I have a table with several rows with text. I want to make the complete cell
(or row) clickable as a link/href.
Writing <a href...><td>bla bla</td></a> is not possible.
If this is possible I have to add several spaces to the text (bla
) to make the clickable area larger.
If I have to do this, how to disable the feature that formats the text as a
link (becames blue and underlined).

In Internet Explorer, the "hello, world!" text is on top on the red
box is on the bottom. In Firefox, the "hello, world!" text is on top
and the red box is in the middle.
Internet Explorer's rendition is the preferred rendition. Any idea as
to how to make Firefox's rendition look more like Internet Explorer's?
Thanks!
