Here is a URL to my table:
http://collection.callahan09.com/comics/
I have tried a number of things, but I am not good with CSS and I'm new in general to working with web programming and styling, so I have had no success. But I want my table to always appear within the white background and never extend into the grey background on the sides. If you click on "Manage Columns" and remove the "Cover" column, you should see the table re-adjust to the correct width. I don't want my columns to be fixed width, they should always adjust according to how many columns are visible and the content of those columns. But the overall width of the table should remain within those confines. The only solution I can think of is to have the table shrink, meaning all text and everything would just get smaller and smaller as more columns with longer strings for content are made visible. This functionality would work just fine for me, if possible. The other alternative would be to have a horizontal scroll bar added when the columns would extend out past the confines of my area. I've got this working in a different solution, but I am not satisfied with it is as the scroll bar does not disappear when you hide columns, so there is no way to get back the table in its original format with no scroll bar by removing columns in column management. Is there a solution?
Please help. Thanks!
