html table cells to display text entered in inputbox in a better way
Question
I have a dynamic html table , where user fills in certain details. The problem is , last two input columns data length may be large at times. Can someone suggest me the best way to show the last two input boxes so that user , after filling the detail , would be able to look at the contents that he has entered with ease. With the current setup , he wont be able to look at the entire input box data at one glance.
HTML :
<table id="master_table" border="0">
<tr>
<th>COL1</th>
<th>COL2</th>
<th>COL3</th>
<th>COL4</th>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col1" class="col1"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col2" class="col2"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col3" class="col3"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col4" class="col4"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" name="addRow" class="add" value='Add'/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" name="removeRow" class="removeRow" value='Delete'/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" align="center">
<input type="button" name="submit_data" class="submit" value="Submit" onclick="myFunction()"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Use table-layout property. table-layout:fixed will adjust cells to take up equal space of the table.
Write:
#master_table{
width:100%;
table-layout:fixed;
}

You can Try
<td>
<input type="text" name="col1" class="col1" length="20"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col2" class="col2" length="20"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col3" class="col3" onkeypress="this.style.width = ((this.value.length + 1) * 8) + 'px';"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="col4" class="col4" onkeypress="this.style.width = ((this.value.length + 1) * 8) + 'px';"/>
</td>
<td>

Edited :
as per codepen.io/vsync/pen/czgrf , your code will look like for textarea as follows
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{ background:#c0c0c0; color:#8c001a; }
/*( 'box-sizing' will not work with this code )*/
textarea{
/* box-sizing: padding-box; */
overflow:hidden;
/* demo only: */
padding:10px;
width:250px;
font-size:14px;
margin:50px auto;
display:block;
border-radius:10px;
border:1px solid #8c001a;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<textarea rows='1' placeholder='Auto-Expanding Textarea'></textarea>
<script>
var textarea = document.querySelector('textarea');
textarea.addEventListener('keydown', autosize);
function autosize(){
var el = this;
setTimeout(function(){
el.style.cssText = 'height:auto; padding:0';
// for box-sizing other than "content-box" use:
// el.style.cssText = '-moz-box-sizing:content-box';
el.style.cssText = 'height:' + el.scrollHeight + 'px';
},0);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
