Codesandbox linkI have a component in my application where I'm to work with Html table. But the problem I'm having now is That I needed to limit the height and width of the row to a particular fixed size. I tried applying height and overflow on the rows but it wasn't working. Here

Attached is the codesandbox link

HTML TABLE IN REACT COMPONENT ROW (TR) NOT RESPONDING TO CSS STYLING TO LIMIT THE HEIGHT OF THE CONTENT

is what I have done below.

App.css

import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Hello CodeSandbox</h1>
      <h2>Start editing to see some magic happen!</h2>

      <table id="customers">

    <th>Contact</th>

CodePudding user response：

I have created a solution. Check if that works for you. I have created max-width for the table td and added thead and tbody for being semantically correct.

#customers {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
}

#customers td,
#customers th {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  padding: 8px;
}

#customers tr:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
  height: 20px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

#customers tr:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
}

#customers th {
  padding-top: 12px;
  padding-bottom: 12px;
  text-align: left;
  background-color: #04aa6d;
  color: white;
}

tbody tr td {
  max-width: 100px;
}
tbody tr td div {
  height: 50px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}
