One issue I encountered involves a button located within a div that has unintended consequences for another div. Here is the basic structure of the elements:
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<button>THIS BUTTON</button>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<table>THIS TABLE</table>
</div>
</div>
Initially, it seemed like adding or removing the button should have no impact on the width of the table and its parent div.
The goal was to ensure that the table spans the entire available width.
Before introducing the JavaScript functionality to export table data as a CSV file, everything looked like this:

However, incorporating the button to enable CSV export caused an unexpected change in the layout, resulting in a narrower table:

Below is a distilled sample code snippet in HTML format:
<html>
<head>
... (Script and style imports omitted for brevity)
</head>
<body>
<div class="container-fluid" style="max-width: 100%">
... (Nested div and header content excluded for clarity)
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<table id="myTable" class="table table-striped table-responsive table-hover sortable">
<thead>
... (Omitted table header details)
</thead>
<tbody>
... (Sample row entries also removed)
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
