Css - Make a DIV fill an entire table cell

To make a div fill an entire table cell, you can set its height and width to 100% and adjust the box-sizing property for better sizing. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Div in Table Cell</title> <style> table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } td { border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; } .fill-div { width: 100%; height: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; /* Include padding and border in the total width/height */ background-color: #e0e0e0; /* Optional: Set background color */ } </style> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> <!-- Your div with class "fill-div" --> <div class="fill-div"> <!-- Content goes here --> This div fills the entire table cell. </div> </td> <td> <!-- Another table cell --> Another Cell </td> </tr> <!-- Add more rows as needed --> </table> </body> </html>

In this example:

  • The table element has a width of 100% and border-collapse: collapse; to remove spacing between table cells.

  • The td (table cell) elements have a border for visualization, and the padding can be adjusted based on your design.

  • The .fill-div class is applied to the div within the table cell. It has width: 100%; and height: 100%; to fill the entire available space in both dimensions.

  • The box-sizing: border-box; property ensures that padding and border are included in the total width and height of the div.

  • You can adjust the background color and other styles within the .fill-div class based on your design preferences.

This example provides a basic structure for making a div fill an entire table cell. Customize it according to your specific layout and styling requirements.
