In this article, we are going to fix the height of rows in the table. The height of rows ‘tr’ in a table can be fixed very easily. This can be done by adding the height attribute in the tr tag. If the height is not specified, the height of the row changes according to the content. The height can be specified either in pixels or percentages.
Approach:
- In the first example, The height attribute is used to set the height of a row. It is added in the <tr> tag.
- The height should be specified according to the content, either in pixels or percentages.
- If the content in the row is large, it will overflow.
- In the second example, we are fixing the height by using the height property in CSS, as much as content will increase the height must be increased.
Example 1: In this example, the height of the first row has been fixed, but the height of the second row has not been.
