I have an HTML table, and since the table headings (<th>
) automatically set their own width based on the width of table data (<td>
), I am trying to add 10px
to whatever value it sets.
Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("th")).forEach(th => {
th.style.width = `${parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(th).getPropertyValue("width").split("px")[0]) + 10}px`;
});
Logging my starting and ending width works fine, everything is normal (ie: "14px"
to "24px"
), the values do get set, as seen in the Chrome Dev Tools, but the actual table on the webpage doesn't update. I tried editing the values via Chrome Dev Tools to large numbers like 1000px
and 100%
, but that did nothing. Am I missing something?
Note: I'm using Electron, latest, on Windows, latest (but I would assume this is a problem with my general HTML code and doesn't have to do with how Electron works).
You could increase 10px in each 'th' using CSS style, setting the padding of the element.
<style>
th { padding: 0px 10px; }
</style>
If your table is setting to 100% width, and you increase the width of all elements, you will not see the difference, no matter how many pixels you are using to do this.
