Column width problem.

MickB

Can anyone see why my columns are not wide enough (Activity Date and Palletised By)?

debug code: ovipus

You've got an old version of DataTables, so the first thing to do would be to try the latest version. Failing that, I think this might be something I'd need a link to a test case for as it might be CSS related.

Updated and it is still the same:

debug code: uquvud

I think it is something to do with the datetime field.

Tried to recreate here and it looks OK:

I have got this working by adding:

table.dataTable thead > tr > th.sorting_asc, table.dataTable thead > tr > th.sorting_desc, table.dataTable thead > tr > th.sorting, table.dataTable thead > tr > td.sorting_asc, table.dataTable thead > tr > td.sorting_desc, table.dataTable thead > tr > td.sorting{
 padding-right: 10px;
    padding-left: 10px;
}

Just a bit concerned that this will mess something else up.

Hi Mick,

No that looks like it should be absolutely fine. Nice one.

This isn't quite working, for some columns to clear I need to go as much as :

  padding-right: 46px;
  padding-left: 35px;

This then makes some of the other columns too wide.

Any ideas what else I could do or what we could do to this resolve this problem?

As usual it's not really possible to give you access to this site

I don't understand what I am doing differently to cause this..

I'd really need a link to a test case showing the issue so I can help to debug it I'm afraid. I don't know what would be causing it. Best guess is that box-sizing: content-box; is being applied to the table cells or perhaps border-collapse: collapse; to the table?
