HTML: When i hide a textbox in a Table, is it expected that the table reformats the space?
- by Michel
Hi,
i have a input type=text in a table (in a TD actually)
When a user clicks a checkbox, the input is hidden with Jquery (via the hide method)
This makes the style of the input to "display:none;"
So far so good.
Now, when that has happened, the row where the cell is in is shrunk (the height is lowered) because the only thing left in the row is a <span>, which height is lower than the input height.
The net result of this is that the row gets smaller, and when you click the checkbox again the input re-appers and the row gets larger.
That doesn't look so nice, so i wondered if there was a way to prevent this?
And second: is this the way it should work (the table resizing)?
