Resizing the HTML table width in jQuery

Question

I need to vary a table's width after a click event in jQuery.

HTML:

<table class="zebra" border=0>

Case 1:

$("table.zebra").css("width","600px");

Case 2:

$("table.zebra").css("width","200px");

CSS:

table.zebra{}
table.zebra tr.even td, table.zebra tr.even th { background-color:#FDD017; }
table.zebra tr.odd td { background-color:#FFF380; }

This does not change the table's width like I want.

What am I doing wrong?

This should do the trick.

<table class="zebra">
  <tr>
    <td>foo</td>
    <td>bar</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function() {
    $('table.zebra').attr('width', 500);
  });
</script>

Try this:

$("table.zebra").width(200);

still I not able to get Resize the Table width?

sepehr Over a year ago

the width() will get the current computed width of the first matched element, according to is.gd/9VR3. Not a setter, I think.

@Sepehr, there is a setter as well .width(val)

This worked for me

    $('#MyModalID').find('.modal-dialog').css({
                width: '800px'
            });
