    <p>I have code that generates a <code>TABLE</code> that contains relative positioned elements causing elements to overlap in a <code>TD</code>. The <code>TD</code> then appears too wide.</p> <p>Here's a short example of the table:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr style="background-color: rgb(221, 255, 221)"&gt; &lt;td style="padding-left:20px;"&gt; text1 &lt;select size="1" style="width: 262px"&gt; &lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;12345&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input type="text" size="5" style="position: relative; left: -262px; width: 239px"&gt; &lt;span style="position: relative; left: -239px"&gt;text2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input type="text" size="5" style="position: relative; left: -239px"&gt; &lt;span style="position: relative; left: -239px"&gt;text3&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input type="text" size="5" style="position: relative; left: -239px"&gt; &lt;span style="position: relative; left: -239px"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; info &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The <code>input</code>-element appears above the <code>select</code>-element.</p> <p>Obviously I don't have any widths set in <code>TD</code>, <code>TR</code> or <code>TABLE</code>. So it's the browser that makes the first column too wide. The width of the empty space seems to be the width of the <code>input</code>-element.</p> <p>How can I circumvent this? Basically I want the first column only to be as wide as necessary.</p>

    3. CO@Naveed Opera 11.50, Firefox 3.6. However, it should work with Chrome and IE, too. What mock-up? The only current problem is the space between the third input element and the right end of the first column.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
