Question

How can I hide an HTML table row  lt tr gt  so that it takes up no space   I have several  lt tr gt  s set to style  display none    but they still affect the size of the table and the table s border reflects the hidden rows

position  absolute will remove it from the layout flow and should solve your problem - the element will remain in the DOM but won t affect others

This happened to me and I was baffled as to why   Then I noticed that if i removed any nbsp  i had within the rows  then the rows didn t take up any space

If display  none  doesn t work  how about setting height  0  instead  In conjunction with a negative margin  equal to  or greater than  the height of the top and bottom borders  if any  to further remove the element  I don t imagine that position  absolute  top  0  left  -4000px  would work  but it might be worth a try   For my part  using display  none works fine

Thought I d add to this a potential other solution    lt tr style  visibility collapse  gt  lt td gt stuff lt  td gt  lt  tr gt   I ve only tested it on Chrome but putting this on the  lt tr gt  hides the row PLUS all the cells inside the row still contribute to the widths of the columns   I will sometimes make an extra row at the bottom of a table with just some spacers that make it so certain columns can t be less than a certain width  then hide the row using this method    I know you re supposed to be able to do this with other css but I ve never gotten that to work   Again  I m in a purely chrome environment so I have no idea how this functions in other browsers

You need to put the change the input type to hidden  all the functions of it work but it is not visible on the page   lt input type  hidden  name    id    value    gt    as long as the input type is set to that you can change the rest  Good Luck
