How to set height to fill height of parent node?












0















I want to try to make an HTML table using pure CSS and div/span elements. I currently have the following jsFiddle. However the table cell...



 .table .table-cell {
float: left;
padding: 0 10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
display: table-cell;
}


...elements don't fill the height of the parent row.



Please help me to resolve my problem.



EDIT: I make on pure CSS instead table element for increased performance.



EDIT2: Is it possible to simulate colSpan and rowSpan?

  • I'm not sure if you are being bound by an angry project manager to not use tables, but sorry, if you want to build something that looks like a table then just build a table. Why div's and span's?

    Just an additional comment...who told you that not using a table would increase performance? That's not even remotely true.

    That's not true. They used to be heavy in the old days, where systems would build layouts based on tables inside of tables inside of tables inside of tables etc. Nowdays, just building a table to render a table is no different than using div's. In fact, based on your code, your method is actually a couple of bytes bigger than it would be with tables!

Try this instead your style:



.table .table-cell {
padding: 0 10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
display: table-cell;
}

    Table cells can not be floatet. Remove float: left from the .table-cell like in this Fiddle:



    .table .table-cell {
    /* float: left; */
    padding: 0 10px;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    display: table-cell;
