Placing Two Buttons in a CSS Table Cell

Placing Two Buttons in a CSS Table Cell

In web development, you often encounter situations where you need to place buttons in table cells. Sometimes we need to place two buttons in a table cell, which requires effective CSS layout. This article will detail how to use CSS to achieve this.

Implementation Guide

When placing two buttons in a table cell, we typically use a <div> element to contain the buttons and use CSS to control the button style and layout. We can use a <div> element as the container for the buttons and then place the two buttons within this <div> element. To keep the two buttons in the same row and centered, we can use the display: flex property to achieve a horizontal layout.


Specific implementation steps include:

1. Create a <div> element within a table cell as a container for the buttons.
2. Place two buttons within this <div> element.
3. Use CSS to control the style and layout of the buttons, including their size, color, border, and more.
4. Use the display: flex property to achieve horizontal layout of the buttons.

The following code demonstrates how to place two buttons within a table cell.

Example code

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html lang="en"> 
<head> 
<meta charset="UTF-8"> 
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> 
<title>CSS Table Buttons</title> 
<style> 
table { 
border-collapse: collapse; 
width: 100%; 
} 
table, th, td { 
border: 1px solid black; 
} 
td{ 
padding: 10px; 
text-align: center; 
} 
.button-container { 
display: flex; 
justify-content: center; 
} 
button { 
padding: 5px 10px; 
margin: 0 5px; 
background-color: #007bff; 
color: white; 
border: 1px solid #007bff; 
border-radius: 3px; 
cursor: pointer; 
} 
button:hover { 
background-color: #0056b3; 
border: 1px solid #0056b3; 
} 
</style> 
</head> 
<body> 

<table> 
<tr> 
<th>Name</th> 
<th>Actions</th> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td>John Doe</td> 
<td> 
<div class="button-container"> 
<button>Edit</button> 
<button>Delete</button> </div> 
</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td>Jane Smith</td> 
<td> 
<div class="button-container"> 
<button>Edit</button> 
<button>Delete</button> 
</div> 
</td> 
</tr> 
</table> 

</body> 
</html> 

In the example code above, we create a table containing two buttons, each of which is placed within a <div> element. Using CSS in the style sheet, we set the button styles, including background color, text color, and border. The button container uses the display: flex property to achieve horizontal layout and centering of the buttons.

Running Results

When you open the example code above in a browser, you will see a table containing two buttons. Each button is placed in a cell, with the two buttons arranged horizontally and centered. Hovering your mouse over the buttons will change their color, enhancing the user experience.

Through the sample code and explanation above, you should have mastered how to use CSS to place two buttons in a table cell. In a real project, you can customize the button style and layout to achieve more flexible and diverse effects.
