How do I get the actual table width in pixel

[khennes02]

Hi everyone.

I built a Page that with a Table in it.
The table is filled with information from a Database.
How can I get the actual width of the Table?
I need this information to be able to set the Printer settings.
Thanks Kai

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

I cant set the width, because when I start the table I do not know how many columns will be added, and the information are VDA Standards, and the must be shown without a line break.

Here is what I tried that acutely returned something.
script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var w = window.innerWidth;
//returns window size
var w = document.body.scrollWidth;
//also returns window size

alert(w);
-->
</script>

You need to give the table an id, then use this id to get the table width.

eg id="table1"

Then use this code in you script

tableWidth = document.getElementById("table1")[COLOR=red].width[/color];

I think this should work, but i'm not sure of the exact syntax for the bit in red.

Hope this is of help.
