CSS table column autowidth

Given the following how do i make my last column auto size to its content? (The last column should autosize-width to the content. Suppose i have only 1 li element it should shrink vs. having 3 li elements etc):

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

table tr {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #e9e9e9;
}

table thead td,
th {
  border-left: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
  border-right: 1px solid #d5d5d5;
  background: #ddd url("../images/sprites4.png") repeat-x scroll 0 100%;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-align: left;
}

table tr td,
th {
  border: 1px solid #D5D5D5;
  padding: 15px;
}

table tr:hover {
  background: #fcfcfc;
}

table tr ul.actions {
  margin: 0;
}

table tr ul.actions li {
  display: inline;
  margin-right: 5px;
}

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
  <thead>
    <!-- universal table heading -->
    <tr>
      <td class="tc first"><input type="checkbox" value="true" name="data-1-check-all" id="data-1-check-all"></td>
      <td class="tc">Type</td>
      <th>File</th>
      <th>Sample</th>
      <th>Action</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Division 1</td>
      <td>Division 2</td>
      <td>Division 3</td>
      <td>Division 4</td>
      <td>Division 5</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Division 1</td>
      <td>Division 2</td>
      <td>Division 3</td>
      <td>Division 4</td>
      <td class="last">
        <ul class="actions">
          <li><a class="iconStats" href="#">Statystyki</a></li>
          <li><a class="iconEdit" href="#">Edytuj</a></li>
          <li><a class="iconDelete" href="#">Usuń</a></li>
        </ul>
      </t开发者_高级运维d>

The following will solve your problem:

td.last {
    width: 1px;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

Flexible, Class-Based Solution

And a more flexible solution is creating a .fitwidth class and applying that to any columns you want to ensure their contents are fit on one line:

td.fitwidth {
    width: 1px;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

And then in your HTML:

<tr>
    <td class="fitwidth">ID</td>
    <td>Description</td>
    <td class="fitwidth">Status</td>
    <td>Notes</td>
</tr>

If you want to make sure that last row does not wrap and thus size the way you want it, have a look at

td {
 white-space: nowrap;
}

You could specify the width of all but the last table cells and add a table-layout:fixed and a width to the table.

You could set

table tr ul.actions {margin: 0; white-space:nowrap;}

(or set this for the last TD as Sander suggested instead).

This forces the inline-LIs not to break. Unfortunately this does not lead to a new width calculation in the containing UL (and this parent TD), and therefore does not autosize the last TD.

This means: if an inline element has no given width, a TD's width is always computed automatically first (if not specified). Then its inline content with this calculated width gets rendered and the white-space-property is applied, stretching its content beyond the calculated boundaries.

So I guess it's not possible without having an element within the last TD with a specific width.

use auto and min or max width like this:

td {
max-width:50px;
width:auto;
min-width:10px;
}
