How to show all text in a cell

[juanwilde]

I got a large text in one column and I want to show all. But it only show a few letters and ...

I was looking the docs but without success...

Thanks in advance

The ellipsis show when the column data is wider than the column.

You can either make the column wider using a header css style in the TH for that column:

data-header-css-class="col-review"

and then create that class in your styles:

.col-review {
width: 100px;
}

OR if you don't want to resize the column, but just make the data visible on say hover, create a column formatter.

In the TH:

data-formatter="review"

In your object definition:

"review": function(column, row) {
return '<span title="'+row.review+'">'+row.review+'</span>';
},

...and on hover, you'll see all the text.

Thanks! It is a solution. But what I did was to create a CSS file with this

table tbody tr td {
    white-space: normal !important;
    height: auto !important;
}

Because I needed to keep database breaklines with the nl2br PHP function.
