To merge table cells, you do it via the source code. This is not ideal for accessibility - make sure you read the note below. Occasionally you may want to merge some cells in a table heading row.
#Html how to merge cells in a table code
Here are the 12 snippets of code and what percentage they will apply. On this page, I set the width of just the first column in each table.
You generally don't need to set the width of all the columns. If we use the table above as an example, you add the code as follows: In the CSS for we have preset 12 fixed widths that correspond to percentages of the text area on screen (with different widths for different devices: desktop, tablet or mobile). Width is controlled by our CSS (a style sheet that controls how the web pages look). In this case, setting the width of just the first column should make the page content look better. One reason you might want to do this when you have a page with several similar tables and, due to varying lengths of content, they are displaying with varying column widths.
(This is different to alignment, which you have to set up in every cell.) Why you might want to set column width You can set column width in just the heading row and that instruction will control the whole column. Here's how the table will display with right alignment set on the second column. Here's an example, using the code above with the alignment snipped added: To set right-alignment for the second column in the example, you need to add the code snippet into the and all the corresponding tags. Remember to add a space between th or td and the alignment code snippet, so it looks like this: How to add the code
The code options you need to copy in are: To set alignment, you need to go into the source code and edit the HTML. However, tables of financial figures should have the columns with numerals set to right-aligned. Mostly, tables should be left-aligned because we read left-to-right.
