[Seaside] How do I widen this column?

[Jupiter Jones]

Hi David,

It’s up to the browser how things are rendered - collapsing tables can be a pain. In this case the Current Balance column is wider than the Amount column because “Current Balance” is a longer string than “Amount"

As Esteban mentioned, the only way to control presentation is css.

If you want seaside to have a say in presentation (ie. by providing css), just use the #style: method…

html tableData 
	style: 'min-width: 10em;whitespace: nowrap;’;
	with: [ myNumber printString ]

It’s still probably better to add all your styling to an external stylesheet. Without careful planning, embedding css in smalltalk can become harder to maintain.

Cheers
