I know this has been asked much the same before but no answers seem to apply to me.

I have a table inside a DIV container. When 5 rows are inside the table, scrollbars on the the x-axis are shown, however, you can see that the content in column 1 is squashed.

The width of both columns 2 & 3 are fixed, but 1 is allowed to adjust itself to the correct width. When I try to measure the width of the text (by copying it to a span) it is not the correct size, otherwise I would just tally up the width of the 3 columns and adjust the table width.

How would I prvent the squashing or get the table width? jQuery tells me the width and outer width are zero…

    Try adding a css rule to the elements in the column white-space: nowrap;

    otherwise can you js fiddle it or provide a link?
