Having trouble setting table width

    Hi Tobias,

    I’m using a single cell table for my static wordpress home page, the reason being that it is a single image that uses image map hot spots. (I just learned that this is a great way to make image mapped images work with a mobile theme! )

    The image; however is a bit too wide and spills into the sidebar. I thought if I added the recommended CSS to the Tablepress Options that lets you resize the column width it would do the trick, but nothing happens. Is there a CSS code that would keep the image within my theme’s settings? I’m trying to avoid manually resizing the image as i don’t want to mess up the image map.

    Here’s my homepage https://ecigarettenews.net

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, you are running into a fundamental problem with tables: A table will always “obey” the width that the content in it (in your case that image) requires. Setting the width of the columns via CSS does not help here, as that can not reduce the width beyond that required minimum of the content.

    Now, regarding your site, I’m a bit confused. The only table I see there is in the sidebar. The image map in the content of the page is not a table though…

    Regards,
    Tobias
