[css] Table set fixed column width

Background : Using JQuery Datatable generated dynamically table but push columns off the layout.

Example :
Image 1

Solution :
Add table-layout to the css, and of course give width to each column :

table-layout: fixed;
word-wrap:break-word;

The reason why :
Fixed table layout algorithm:
The horizontal layout only depends on the table’s width and the width of the columns, not the contents of the cells
Allows a browser to lay out the table faster than the automatic table layout
The browser can begin to display the table once the first row has been received

Drop down menu (jquery+css)

Recently, I worked on with a project which need a drop down menu. I share my code here:

You can find the simple demo here.

HTML (with just simple ul and li) :

​<ul class="your_menu">
	<li>
		<a href="" title="">MON MENU</a>
		<ul>
			<li><a href="#" title="">Sous menu 1</a></li>
			<li><a href="#" title="">Sous menu 2</a></li>
		</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Jquery (I used version 1.8.3, but it will compatible with older version, just not so old):

$(document).ready(function() {
	// Lorsqu’on entre dans le menu
	$(‘ul.your_menu li’).mouseenter(function() {
		$(this).find(‘ul:first’).slideDown();
	});

	// Lorsqu’on sort du menu
	$(‘ul.your_menu li’).mouseleave(function() {
		$(this).find(‘ul:first’).slideUp();
	});
});​

CSS (the list will display with table-cell, the background will be transparent, and the bottom border will be round):

.your_menu{
	list-style-type:none;
	display: table;
}

.your_menu li{
	display:table-cell;
}

.your_menu li ul{
	list-style-type: none;
	display:none;
	position:absolute;
	opacity:0.8;
}

.your_menu li ul li{
	display:block;
}

.your_menu li ul li:last-child{
	-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 8px;
	-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 8px;
	-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 8px;
	-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 8px;
	border-bottom-right-radius: 8px;
	border-bottom-left-radius: 8px;
}
