Question

In here, the remarks column became as big as the data is.But if the data is big like this, i want to show a few characters here, maybe 20 characters; so that the column wont get big like this.In other words, how to make a fixed size column that wont get bigger with the data?

Answer 1

You can either set a max width for all table cells:

.grid-view table td {
    max-width: 150px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Or force break/wrap:

.grid-view table td {
    word-break: break-all;
}
