Unable to set column Width in datatable

[francis1970]

Dear all,
anybody managed to set the width of the single columns in a datatable ?
I have tried most everything "columnsWidth" , styleClass (with row size attribute) but it seems not to work.

I'm using richfaces-api-3.2.1.CR3

Thanks a lot
Francesco

via columnClasses...

so you need a style classe thats contains the size of your column and an other styleclass that contains width:auto

<style>
.colwidth100px{ width:100px;}
.colwidthauto{ width: auto;}
</style>

....
...
<h:panelGrid columns="3" columnClasses="colwidthauto, colwidth100px, colwidthauto">
 <h:panelGroup >
 ....
 </h:panelGroup>
 <h:panelGroup >
 ...
 </h:panelGroup>
 <h:panelGroup >
 ...
 </h:panelGroup>
</h:panelGrid>

so you set the middle column width 100px and the rest ist auto adjusting...

Hello, thanks for your reply!
well it still doesn't work but I found what's the problem: the header of the datatable has filter columns. If I remove the filter textfields then the column's width is changed.
Is it possible to resize the width of the filter fields ?
Thanks
Francesco
