[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-11174) [rich:extendedDataTable] attribute "width" of columns should support percent values instead of only accepting px values

[Michael B (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11174?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12756144#comment-12756144 ] 

Michael B commented on RF-11174:
--------------------------------

Voting for this feature as well!

Being able to size tables with percentages depending on the available screen size of the user is such a basic feature in web development, that it's hard to believe RF forces everyone to work without it. (Btw. columns of ext. databale also just clip long texts instead of wrapping or growing with them...).

We made a preview of an application that we are currently developing with RF using ext. datatable. After having to admit that it's simply not possible to dynamically use the available screen size together with the ext. datatable features, customer and business acceptance was down to 0. For now we are forced to stick with the simple datatable, missing all the benefits of the extended version.

Please consider this feature request, as it's hard to explain such unsreasonable restrictions to customers...

> Currently you can only define the width of a column inside the rich:extendedDataTable like this:
> <rich:column width="120px" ...
> But it should also be possible to define it like this:
> <rich:column width="30%" ...
