Can I hide a column in a Table?

[AndyGroom]

Hi,

I have a Table in an HTML document, and I want to hide one of the columns (like you can in Excel for example).

I've tried setting the Width to 0 but it simply resizes the column to the longest word. Is there a way to do this? Any solution only need work in IE.

comment out each <td> of the column

< ! -- <td> .... </td> -->

that will work in the corse code, as for a dynamic solution, this should work:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
.hide{display:none;}
.show{display:inline;}
</style>
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function showHide(id){
if (id.className == &quot;show&quot{
id.className = &quot;hide&quot;
}else if (id.className == &quot;hide&quot{
id.className = &quot;show&quot;
}
}
</script>

...

<table>
<tr><td><a href=&quot;javascript:showHide(trOne);&quot;>Show/Hide Table row</a></td></tr>
<tr id=&quot;trOne&quot; class=&quot;show&quot;><td>some stuff to be hidden</td></tr>

<tr><td><a href=&quot;javascript:showHide(trTwo);&quot;>Show/Hide Table row</a></td></tr>
<tr id=&quot;trTwo&quot; class=&quot;show&quot;><td>some stuff to be hidden</td></tr>
</table>
