I am quite new to css, and i was searching already for hours for a solution to this problem. I have a fixed layout table in a resizable container. i have a resizing column, that has 2 texts, the first should do a text-overflow:ellipse while the second should always show (if possible). The requirement is to not show all the text in a table cell if it doesnt fit, but display the last 5 letters. I figured ill put 2 spans in a td, and give a width to the second, but the width is ignored. When i tried to float the element (i can only float left, cause floating right will put the last 5 letters to the end on an long column with little text, which is not ok), left, but then the first div is not getting smaller so the text-overflow:ellipse is not applied. E.g i need when td is short: <pre><code>|Hello budd...ight?| </code></pre> and <pre><code>|Hello buddy ho...ight?| </code></pre> but when td is long: <pre><code>|Hello buddy how is it going tonight? | </code></pre> This seems to be a fairly common requirement, so how can i achieve it? I do not want any javascript, im quite sure it can be solved by css, and maybe some extra divs... my html: <pre><code><table style="table-layout:fixed"> <colgroup> <col/> <col width="200px"/> </colgroup> <tr> <td> Hello buddy how is it going ton ight? </td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </code></pre> my css: <pre><code>table { width: 90%; margin: 10px; } tr { height: 100px; } td { width: 50%; border: 1px solid blue; padding: 5px; height: 100px; vertical-align: top; position: relative; while-space:nowrap; } span.first { white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; border: 1px solid red; } span.second { border: 1px solid green; } </code></pre> Any ideas how to achieve this? Any help is very appreciated. Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
