How do I make it so nested tables do not expand to the height of the
cell they are contained in, but instead use the height of their
contents?
In the below code the cell with the background color of red and the
text "One" in it is expanded so the red fills the same height as the
two tables with two rows in it. I want it so the Red table is only the
height needed to print "One" -- that is I want the one row high table
to stay one row tall.
Hope that makes sense, I have included the java code showing the
behavior I don't want and a small HTML snippet that produces the
result layout wise that I want (tested on IE7, FF3.5). For the sake of
simplicity I did not turn off borders as I am not worried about
borders/padding in this question.
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER.rotate());
try
{
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("C:\\test.pdf"));
document.open();
PdfPTable outerTable = new PdfPTable(3);
outerTable.setTotalWidth(600);
outerTable.setWidths(new float[] {200,200,200});
outerTable.setLockedWidth(true);
PdfPTable twoRowsTallTable = new PdfPTable(1);
twoRowsTallTable.addCell("Row1");
twoRowsTallTable.addCell("Row2");
PdfPTable oneRowstallTable = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cellWithColor = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("One"));
cellWithColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
oneRowstallTable.addCell(cellWithColor);
outerTable.addCell(oneRowstallTable);
outerTable.addCell(twoRowsTallTable);
outerTable.addCell(twoRowsTallTable);
document.add(outerTable);
document.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
HTML Of What I want:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="33%" valign="top">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FF0000">One</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Row1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>Row1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
