Forum:Help Expanding Table

I want to expand a table for my Wiki, but I have no idea how to do it? Is it possible to modify the margins? Can I put in an expand button? I'm not sure how to do either, so any help is appreciated!

 * How exactly do you want it to expand? Width wise? Or make it collapse? –  Jä zz  i  22:52, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's actually the first table under "The Game" section. As you can see, it's really cramped together. I would love to primarily expand it width wise, though if it's not possible, I'm fine with making it collapse. Mr X819 00:26, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Do you mean the last table? You want to make it wider? You probably should start by using the same as in the other tables, at the start put: {|class="wikitable" style="margin:auto; text-align:center" Hum... Since that table is going to have the other episodes as the show goes on, there is not much point in bothering about it, just put the other episode numbers at the top and leave the right side of the table empty or with only a "-".

Another option is to copy the table from one of the other seasons, for example, http://survivorfanfics.wikia.com/wiki/Survivor_All-Stars:_Samoa_Fanfic. In fact I think you should have copied one of the other pages.

You can also set the widths of each column on a table, like so: {|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" ! !bgcolor="#efefef" colspan="4"|Original Tribes
 * Episode #:
 * align="center" colspan=3|1
 * align="center"|2
 * Voted Out:
 * style="width:6%;"|
 * style="width:6%;"|
 * style="width:6%;"|
 * style="width:6%;"|
 * style="width:6%;"|
 * style="width:6%;"|

Hum... On second thought, never mind. The templates that wiki is using were not well designed and you aren't using HTML. I'll keep away from that thing. —This unsigned comment is by Nidek (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with !
