I am currently working on a straightforward JavaScript solution that proves to be useful when utilizing overflow-x:auto in tables. The script aims to decrease the height of rows by increasing the width of the table until the rows reach the desired height. I have come across similar questions addressing this height issue as well.
There are only two tasks remaining to finalize this script:
- Find and Verify the Height of Each Row in an Optimal Manner (This step is crucial for the script's functionality)
- If possible, Simplify the Code.
Here's what my JavaScript code looks like (it currently checks a specific row):
var h = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].rows[1].offsetHeight;
if (h > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "2000px";
var h = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].rows[1].offsetHeight;
if (h > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "3000px";
var h = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].rows[1].offsetHeight;
if (h > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "4000px";
}
}
}
Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated...
I believe there might be a simpler code snippet that I'm not aware of due to being new to JavaScript. Perhaps you guys may know that simple code...
UPDATE: Here's the final working code if you need to restrict the height of table rows:
var i = 0, row, table = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0], j = table.offsetWidth;
while (row = table.rows[i++]) {
while (row.offsetHeight > 160 && j < 4000) {
j += 300;
table.style.width = j + 'px';
}
}
Alternatively,
for (var i = 0, row; row = document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].rows[i]; i++) {
if (row.offsetHeight > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "1500px";
if (row.offsetHeight > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "2000px";
if (row.offsetHeight > 200) {
document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0].style.width = "2500px";
}
}
}
}
