Detailed explanation of the application of table-layout:fixed in css

Application scenario one:

When there is a long English text in the table, if table-layout:fixed or is not set word-break:break-all, then the width displayed by the cell is not the width we set, as follows:

<style>

    table{border:2px solid #ccc;width: 100%;text-align: center;border-collapse:collapse;/*table-layout: fixed;*/}
    td,th{height: 30px;border:2px solid #ccc;/*word-break: break-all;*/}

</style>
<table width="400" border="1" id="table1">
   <tr> 
      <td>3</td>
      <td width="10%">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td>
      <td width="20%">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
       <td>3</td>
       <td>4</td>
       <td>5</td>
   </tr>
</table>

In the above code, add table- to the table element layout: fixed; or add word-break: break-all to td, you can achieve the width display we set when installing the table:

table{border:2px solid #ccc;width: 100%;text-align: center;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout: fixed;}
td,th{height: 30px;border:2px solid #ccc;/*word-break: break-all;*/}

table{border:2px solid #ccc;width: 100%;text-align: center;border-collapse:collapse;/*table-layout: fixed;*/}
td,th{height: 30px;border:2px solid #ccc;word-break: break-all;}

Application scenario two:

General writing method of ellipsis in css:

white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;

When you want to apply ellipsis in table:

<p style="margin-bottom: 7px;"><style><br/>    *{padding:0;margin:0;font-size: 12px;color: #333}<br/>    li{<a href="http://www.php.cn/wiki/953.html" target="_blank">list-style</a>: none;}<br/><br/>    table{border:2px solid #ccc;width: 100%;text-align: center;border-collapse:collapse;}<br/>    td,th{height: 30px;border:2px solid #ccc;word-break: break-all;}<br/><br/>    .ellipsis{white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;}<br/></style><br/><br/><table width="400" border="1" id="table1"><br/>        <tr><br/>            <td>3</td><br/>            <td class="ellipsis" width="10%">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td><br/>            <td width="40%">5</td><br/>        </tr><br/>        <tr><br/>            <td>3</td><br/>            <td>4</td><br/>            <td>5</td><br/>        </tr><br/></table><br/></p>

The result is not what we want at all:

Solution: add table-layout: fixed;

<style>
    *{padding:0;margin:0;font-size: 12px;color: #333}
    li{list-style: none;}

    table{border:2px solid #ccc;width: 100%;text-align: center;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout: fixed;}
    td,th{height: 30px;border:2px solid #ccc;word-break: break-all;}

    .ellipsis{white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;}
</style>

<table width="400" border="1" id="table1">
        <tr>
            <td>3</td>
            <td class="ellipsis" width="10%">aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td>
            <td width="40%">5</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>3</td>
            <td>4</td>
            <td>5</td>
        </tr>
</table>

The effect is exactly what we want:
