The width of table cells within a div is completely disregarded

The cell width property seems to be ignored in this situation. Despite trying numerous approaches, the cells are splitting into equal portions and not respecting the specified width. Inspecting the code did not reveal any unexpected inheritance that could explain this behavior.

.CalculateBtn {
  background-color: #96c11f;
  width: 200px;
  -moz-border-radius: 6px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
  border-radius: 6px;
  display: inline-block;
  cursor: pointer;
  color: #ffffff;
  font-family: Raleway, Arial;
  font-size: 21px;
  font-weight: normal;
  padding: 10px 10px;
  text-decoration: none;
  text-align: center;
}

.CalculateBtn:hover {
  background-color: #7f0050;
  color: #ffffff;
}

.divTable {
  display: table;
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
  /*vertical-align: top;*/
}

... (Skipping remaining CSS code for brevity)


<div class="divTable" style="border: 1px solid #ffffff;">
  <div class="divTableBody">
    ... (Skipping HTML code for brevity)
  </div>

Answer №1

I typically use colgroup to achieve this effect. I noticed that you are using div elements in your code along with CSS for tables, so my suggestion would be to switch to table markup (if possible).

table {
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

th {
  background: #0095ff;
  color: white;
}

td {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
<table>
  <colgroup>
    <col style="width:30%" />
    <col style="width:40%" />
    <col style="width:30%" />
  </colgroup>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="3">This is the table header</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Cell 1</td>
      <td>Cell 2</td>
      <td>Cell 3</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
