Question

When setting a td’s display in a table to none, the table does not resize properly in IE8.

If I have a table, and I remove an entire column with something like this :

$("th:first, th:last, tr td:first-child, tr td:last-child").toggle(0);

It works in all browsers, except IE8, keeps the remaining cells scrunched in their original widths and does not resize to the width of the available space.

Anyone know what is not working here?

Answer 1

This is an answer.. but I’m interested in here others:

Ok so the following does not work

$("table").hide().show();

But this does work :

$("table").hide().fadeIn(0);
