Ensure that the text in the table with a width of 100% remains stable

Currently, I am encountering an issue with the inside text moving within my application on a webpage. In my previous tables, I utilized the min-width option to prevent the text or td from shifting when resizing the website page. For example, when stretching over two monitors, everything remains fixed except for the footer.

I am seeking advice on how to ensure that each <td> text stays fixed on the page.

Here is a snippet of the HTML code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" width="100%" style="min-width:1400px">
    <tr bgcolor="silver">
        <td align="center" valign="middle" width="200"> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2.5">
                Last Modified:&nbsp;</font>

        </td>
        <td align="left" width="400"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2.5">
                 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/ClassifiedAds/Index.aspx</font> <br/>
        <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> </font> 
        </td>
        <td align="left" valign="middle" width="300"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2.5"></font> </td>
    </tr>

Answer №1

Feel free to check out this fiddle where I have included a blank td without any width specified, ensuring that the other columns do not resize when the page is resized.

https://jsfiddle.net/johndoe/abcd1234/5/

You also have the option to remove width="300" from the third td, causing it to only expand upon resizing while keeping the other two columns at a fixed width.

Answer №2

Instead of using pixels, try utilizing percentages in order to prevent exceeding 100%.

<td width="20%">
<td width="30%">
<td width="50%">

Additionally, remember to delete any instances of style="min-width:1400px".

By doing this, your table will occupy 100% of the page perfectly.

Calculating it out: 50 + 30 + 20 = 100
