HTML adaptable table (width, height)

Question

I know there's a CSS solution to set up the width of a table. For example:

table {width: 100%; height:300px}

will adapt the width of the table taking the 100% of the screen but, if I insert height: 100% it doesn't work. I want to create a table (or more tables) that fits to the screen dimensions (for smartphone, pc, ecc..). Is there any solution?

Answer 1

just use width: 100%; and height: 100vh;

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Company</th>
    <th>Contact</th>
    <th>Country</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td>
    <td>Francisco Chang</td>
    <td>Mexico</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Ernst Handel</td>
    <td>Roland Mendel</td>
    <td>Austria</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Island Trading</td>
    <td>Helen Bennett</td>
    <td>UK</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Laughing Bacchus Winecellars</td>
    <td>Yoshi Tannamuri</td>
    <td>Canada</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti</td>
    <td>Giovanni Rovelli</td>
    <td>Italy</td>
  </tr>
</table>

CSS:

html, body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
}
table {
    font-family: arial, sans-serif;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;

}

td, th {
    border: 1px solid #dddddd;
    text-align: left;
    padding: 8px;
}

tr:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #dddddd;
}
