    <p>I'm generating HTML tables that are meant to be sent via Lotus Notes (8.0.2) with my rails app.</p> <p>My tables are extremly simple (have a look at this fiddle) : <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/msbkk/" rel="nofollow" title="Example output">Example output</a> and render correctly into jsfiddle or into my browser.</p> <p>Here is a reduced HTML code :</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Example&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;1&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;3&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='name'&gt;Foo&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;11&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;0&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='name'&gt;Bar&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;8&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;10&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='name'&gt;Baz&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class='number'&gt;-12&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>My problem</strong> : The output I get in Lotus Notes is broken. My table cells are too small and don't adapt to content's length. For example, the word 'Example' is broken like that : </p> <pre><code>Examp(new line) le </code></pre> <p>Unfortunatly, I can't upload a screenshot because my company is monitoring the uploads...</p> <p>When I remove this CSS : </p> <pre><code>th, td, tr, table { border: 1px solid #000000; } </code></pre> <p>the problem disapears <strong>but</strong> I don't have my mandatory borders anymore!</p> <p>I think Lotus might be using a very old version of html/css interpreter. Do you know how I can bypass this behaviour?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <h2>Edit :</h2> <p>I duct-taped the problem by adding some <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> into the <code>th</code> elements. But this is far from an elegant solution...</p>

    3. COIf it's a very old HTML parser, maybe you could try adding `border="1"` to the table start tag instead of using the css.

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.
