How to get cells from "jumping" on row hide/display 1

[snowboardr]

I am using javascript to show hide multiple rows on a table, however when you do this the cells seem to jump because text is a tad longer, but overall shouldn't effect it... but it does. How would i stop this from happening?

Regards, Jason

Well - it might if your table is set up without widths specified on all columns.

Try doing that - the jumping should stop, I'd have thought.

Hope this helps,
Dan

In the old days, we'd set the widths for each table cell in the first row of the table... and as long as you don't hide (using display:none) the first row, then the widths will be adhered to for the whole table.

If you were to use this technique and then hide the first row, the remaining cells in the table would have no direction on what width to use (and so they will automagically adjust to accomodate their contents).

Cheers,
Jeff
