Stacked table column widths

Question

You can use a GeneXus HTML table to layout text blocks and attributes. If I add a second table to contain some other information that I want to conditionally display, quite often, the first cell is a different width to the first cells of the table stacked above it.

How do you make all the columns/cells the same width so that stacked tables display with their contents correctly aligned?

This is for GeneXus Web in Evo 2 & 3.

Thanks

Answer 1

Put a value in the width property of the client table first cell. So, put the same value in the width property of the password table first cell.

Remember that the width value must be enough for both tables. In your case, the biggest textblock is the "Client Name". So, choose a width enough for that.

Best regards.

Answer 2

If you don't set a width, HTML will assume the minimum width required to accommodate the content. If you don't want it to be set automatically when when the page is displayed, you have to decide on a width.

In your case, you have to put the same width value for a cell (any cell) in the first column of both tables.
