Show last table column on line hovering

In a centered table is the last column hidden.
On hovering over a specific line I want the table to show the last column of this single line.
This should be offering the ability to edit and delete (AJAX) the content/object of the line.
Here's a example:
https://jsfiddle.net/5x2wv160/1/
The problem is the changed size of the table so it is moving a little bit to the left.
My idea fixing this is to change the last column to
tr > td:last-child {
position: relative;
}
But what base element do I have to set the display-style too?
Does anyone have any better ideas?

Check this way of showing the last column on hover to <tr>
.action {
display: none;
}
tr:hover .action{
display: block;
}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>One</th>
<th>Two</th>
<th> </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Content1</td>
<td>Content2</td>
<td class="action">Edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content3</td>
<td>Content4</td>
<td class="action">Edit</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content5</td>
<td>Content6</td>
<td class="action">Edit</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You can use visibility instead of dispay:none like this:
table {
margin: 0 auto;
}
tr > td:last-child {
visibility: hidden;
}
tr:hover > td:last-child {
visibility: visible;
}

You are on the right way. But how about only showing contents thus the hyperlink on hover. tr td a { display:none; } VS tr:hover td a{ display:block} so the content would not be moving left and right. Also setting standard widths for each table column would prevent that the columns are moving

convert rows of html table into bootstrap cards

I have html table with rows like below:
<table id="tb" class="table table-bordered table-hover table-condensed">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>title</th>
<th>price</th>
<th>discount</th>
<th>image</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>PRODUCT 1</td>
<td align="right">24.43</td>
<td align="right">53</td>
<td>https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81xV%2BD1OkGL._AC_SL1500_.jpg</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PRODUCT 2</td>
<td align="right">50.27</td>
<td align="right">70</td>
<td>https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61d-BO4sARL._AC_SL1500_.jpg</td>
</tr>
<!-- ... many other rows -->
<!-- I added this script to put the image link inside src -->
<script>
$('#tb td:nth-child(4n)').each((i, el) => {
$(el).wrapInner(`<img src="${el.innerText}" class="img-fluid"/>`);
});
</script>
I want to convert each row to a bootstrap card
I tried to give each the bootstrap class class="card" using jquery:
$('#tb tr').addClass("card")
it didn't worked, returns each row on top of each other
I want results like this:

It's pretty hard to take HTML code and use javascript to convert that into some other complicated format. If you want to do everything manually, you can make the cards by hand with HTML. However, I suggest using a database and PHP to programmatically create those cards or tables with the data in the database.
Here is some information about how to create those Bootstrap cards: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/card/
Here is some information about how to use databases and PHP to create those cards automatically: https://www.phpzag.com/create-bootstrap-cards-with-php-and-mysql/

The thing which you are trying to achieve makes no sense. I myself came across this dilemma of converting a table into a card but after some quick search I got to know, this makes no sense.
Think of it like transformers. Table and card are two different transformers and they cannot be converted into each other until and unless we you brute force.

You can convert the table into cards. I have done this in the WordPress admin tables. Though I have not done it into bootstrap.
Here is a way to do with straight CSS.
First remove the table header and footer (if you have one).
thead, tfoot {
display: none;
}
Then remove the background of the table
table {
background: none !important;
border: none !important;
}
Change your rows so that they display as a card:
make them inline-block so they will appear on the same row but as a full container
add a background, border, padding and shadow to style it
tr {
display: inline-block;
padding: 1rem 0.5rem 1rem 0.5rem;
margin: 1.5rem;
border: 1px solid grey;
border-radius 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px;
}
Make the cells appear on their own rows
td {
display: block;
}
If you want to add labels to the cell data you can use ::before and use a specific CSS attribute selector. For example, in my WordPress admin tables the column names are added to each cell with the attribute "data-colname".
td[data-colname="Guardian"]::before {
content: "Guardian :";
}
Here is an example of my WordPress table as cards:
(And as you can imagine, you can't easily alter a WordPress admin table -- you work with what you get).

Don't need to write single line of CSS code for hide thead or tfoot. first you need to know about replaceWith() method in jQuery & replace() method in JavaScript. So just pull the table contents as a string and run a simple string replace. And add Bootstrap classes as you want for card design.

Removing whitespace in collapse row

Bootply: http://www.bootply.com/N8lH48VBN7
I have rows where I want each row to expand to show additional rows but I'm having trouble getting rid of the whitespace even when the hidden row is not expanded. I think there might be a way to write a function in JS, but is there a faster and easier way to do this?
Also, when the collapsed rows are expanded, there is some whitespace, and I tried to change some properties of the div to no avail.

Bootstrap has a css style itself.
(so, if you want to apply your css style, you have to use '!important' keyword in your css.)
and, your code structure is not good as well.
therefore, it made a little space inside of each table row.
I think you want to do like this. :)

}
.table>tbody>tr>td[colspan] .table {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Never use !important
Almost all answers here suggest to use !important. I think all of them need to read about CSS Specificity and stop using !important today.

...Or you could add this JS code:
$("td[colspan]").css("padding", "0");
$(".table").css("margin-bottom", "0");
Here is the Bootyply
Or can use pure CSS like this:
td[colspan]{
padding:0 !important;
}
.table{
margin-bottom:0 !important;
}
CSS Only Bootply

Use below code in css
tr td{padding: 0!important;}
Thanks With Regards

Remove padding-top and padding-bottom only from your collapsed rows. This padding is coming from bootstrap table style.
tr:not([data-toggle]) > td { padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; }
Selecting the cells which are children of rows which do not carry an attribute called data-toggle.
There is margin in the nested table as well. You can remove that:
.table tr:not([data-toggle]) table,
.table tr:not([data-toggle]) td {
padding: 0; margin: 0px;
}

Use this CSS style
tr[data-toggle="collapse"] + tr td {
padding: 0 !important;
}

Hover td escapes background-color change from hover tr

I have a general class that I use for table rows which changes the background-color of it's td 's when they are hovered. I'm using it all over my application.
.enty-table {
&:hover > td {
background-color: lightblue;
}
}
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Min Length</th>
<th>Max Length</th>
<th>Min Value</th>
<th>Max Value</th>
<th>Regular Expr</th>
<th>Default Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="enty-table">
<!-- I want the hover on the folowing td to escape the hover effect added with enty-table class on tr -->
<td class="columnCategory">Business Fields</td>
<td><strong>new column1</strong></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
</tr>
<tr class="enty-table">
<td><strong>new column2</strong></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Now, I have a special table (2 dimensional) where in the first column I have td 's with rowspan.
Eventually I want to get rid of background-color change when I hover the rowspan td:
When I hover on the Business Fields td the hover effect is applied for the new column1 row, but when I hover on the second row it is not applied on the td with rowspan. I'm want to fix that by removing the hover action from the first td.
How can I escape the hover effect on the rowspan td, but keep it for the table rows (the individual subrows - new column1 , new column2)?
Can it only be done from CSS?

You could use CSS :not() pseudo-class to ignore the <td> has rowspan attribute, then use CSS general sibling selectors to reset the background color of table cells, as follows:
.enty-table {
&:hover > td:not([rowspan]) {
background-color: lightblue;
}
& > td[rowspan]:hover ~ td {
background-color: #fff; /* Reset the background of next cells */
}
}
JSBin Demo.
Update
If using CSS :not() is not an option, you could reset the background-color of the first cell as follows:
.enty-table {
&:hover > td {
background-color: lightblue;
/* Reset the background color of td[rowspan] */
&[rowspan] {
background-color: #fff;
}
}
& > td[rowspan]:hover ~ td {
background-color: #fff; /* Reset the background */
}
}
JSBin Demo #2.
Basically what I need is when I hover that td there will be nothing applied on the tr
Actually, you're hovering the tr itself, not only that td (refers to td[rowspan])
Is it possible to go higher in the tree structure from CSS
CSS is cascading, there's no backward and/or parent selector (yet).
As a Pure CSS way, you could use pointer-events: none; on the td[rowspan] to prevent from triggering the mouse event on that element.
Working Demo #3.
Otherwise, you need to use JavaScript to change all table-cells on hovering each one excluding td[rowspan].
For instance:
$('.enty-table').children('td:not(td[rowspan])').hover(function() {
$(this).siblings(':not(td[rowspan])').addBack().addClass('hover');
}, function() {
$(this).parent().children('td').removeClass('hover');
});
Working Demo #4.

A couple of things you could do:
.enty-table {
& td:hover {
background-color: lightgrey;
}
}
.enty-table {
& tr:hover {
background-color: lightgrey;
}
}

Please try it. Use class tree and change style using selected object. It will work fine for all "TD"s using proper tree pattern.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".enty-table tr td").hover(function(){
$(this).css("background-color","yellow");
});
$(".enty-table tr td").mouseout(function(){
$(this).css("background-color","lightgray");
});
});

CSS horizontal table cell spacing: how?

Hopefully this is an easy one but I have not found a solution. I want to put space between columns on a table.
Example
| Cell |<- space ->| Cell |<- space ->| Cell |
An important point is that I do not want space on the edges. There is a border-spacing property but it is not supported in IE (6 or 7) so that is no good. It also puts space at the edges.
The best I have come up with is to put padded-right: 10px on my table cells and add a class to the last one to remove the padding. This is less than ideal because the extra space is part of the cell not outside it. I guess you could do the same thing with a transparent border?
I also tried using jQuery:
$(function() {
$("table > tbody > tr:not(:last-child").addClass("right-padding");
});
but even on tables that are only ~100 rows in size this was taking 200-400ms in some cases, which is too slow.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
To those suggesting columns they do not work. Try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Layout</title>
<style type="text/css">
table { border: 1px solid black; }
td { background: yellow; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<col style="padding-right: 30px;">
<col style="padding-right: 30px;">
<col>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
<td>9</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

How about giving each table cell a transparent border? I am pretty sure this will do it for you...
table td {
border:solid 5x transparent;
}
And you can only apply it horizontally like so...
table td {
border-left:solid 10px transparent;
}
table td:first-child {
border-left:0;
}
Here's a complete working demo of what I believe you are trying to accomplish...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Layout</title>
<style type="text/css">
table {
border: 1px solid black;
}
table td {
background: yellow;
border-left:solid 10px transparent;
}
table td:first-child {
border-left:0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7</td>
<td>8</td>
<td>9</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I do not believe IE6 supports the CSS :first-child, so here is a workaround for that...
<!–-[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
table td {
border-left: expression(this.previousSibling == null ? '0' : 'solid 5px transparent');
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

It is may be what are you loking for:
You can use two values: the first is the horizontal cellspacing, the second the vertical one.
<table style="border-spacing: 40px 10px;">

try using cols
example
<table>
<col style="padding-right:20px;" />
<col style="padding-right:30px;" />
<col />
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
cols also support classes :)
hope this helps
Darko
EDIT: To clarify a col is an element declared at the top of the table to influence entire columns. The first col element will influence the first column, the second col = second column and so on. They can be grouped in colgroups if you wish to assign the same style to more than one column.
EDIT2: After some more research it turns out that the only reliable styles you can set on a col element are:
border
background
width
visibility
No margin or padding. Bugger! Would setting the width of the columns explicitly solve your problem?

You could also consider using a series of fixed width divs floated left with margins. This might give you a bit more control over the element styling.
.row div {
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
width: 50px;
}
<div class="row">
<div>Cell One</div>
<div>Cell Two</div>
<div>Cell Three</div>
</div>

Josh's answer doesn't work if you already have borders around your cells, like me.
I solved the problem by shifting the whole table slightly to the left, using "position: relative; left: -10px". I combined this with cellspacing on the table.
<div id='sandbox'>
<table cellspacing='10'>
<tr>
<td class='smoothBox'>
...
</td>
<td class='smoothBox'>
...
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
and the css:
#sandbox {
float: left;
position: relative; /* move the whole sandbox */
left: -11px; /* slightly to the left */
width: 950px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding: 1px;
text-align: left;
}
#sandbox table {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
#sandbox td {
width: 300px;
vertical-align: top;
}
This is what works for me, I hope it may help you too.

Did you try using col grouping?
<table>
<colgroup>
<col class="right-padding" />
<col class="right-padding" />
<col />
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

It is work for me
border-collapse: separate;
border-spacing: 0px 3px;

What about just adding an empty cell that works as a spacer? You could use the col-tag as stated above to give the empty cells a certain width
<col/>
<col style="width:20px"/>
<col/>
<col style="width:20px"/>
<col/>
<tr>
<td>Data</td>
<td>& nbsp;</td>
<td>Data</td>
<td>& nbsp;</td>
<td>Data</td>
</tr>
Or if you want to do more with them, just add classes to them instead of usin inline styling...

The Josh's answer is quite good, but in my opinion needlessly complicated. When you set the table borders to "hidden" and collapse mode to "collapse", the borders on the outer edges of columns will be eliminated, just as required.
Working example:
Stylesheet:
table#my_table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-style: hidden;
}
table#my_table td {
border-left: 15px solid transparent;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
}
HTML:
<table id="my_table">
<tr>
<td>A1</td>
<td>A2</td>
<td>A3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>B1</td>
<td>B2</td>
<td>B3</td>
</tr>
</table>
