Table data causing horizontal scroll
I've got a table on a webpage, with (say) 8 columns, and it's worked just fine until recently...
A user registered with an email address for a display name (not a huge issue, but the email is massive). Now, as one of the columns is a 'reported by' containing username, any pages with said user on them now have a massive 'reported by' column...
I should also emphasise, the table width was 100% (minus a 'margin') prior to this issue, and it worked just fine).
Is there a clever way to introduce a line break on a '.' or an '@'? Alternatively, how do people normally get around this? Interesting solutions to this annoyi开发者_Python百科ng problem are welcomed!
When you generate your html table content code, truncate every content extracted from your database to a maximum width. Your truncating function can easily add a tooltip giving the full label.
Alternatively, do this in javascript on pageload. Parse every table cell and truncate the content if it's too large. It's not as nice as server-side truncating, though.
The upside is that you can give the full label in a tooltip, append '...' to let the user know the label is truncated, etc.
Use the table-layout
css property.
table-layout: fixed;

You could set a max-width
on the column and overflow:scroll
or even overflow:hidden
.
