I am trying to create a simple 2 column static table in wix editor. Dont want to use the table master app as it doenst allow me to change my column widths. The default drag and drop tables doesnt show any means to edit the row data other than connecting it to a CMS. Please help!
Hey! The table element requires connecting to the CMS to fill it’s content.
The alternative is creating your own “table-like” setup - probably using a repeater - which should give you more flexibility, and editing the content without CMS.
That said, I’d recommend a CMS as the way to go - is there a specific reason to not use one?
Hi Noahlovell, thanks for your quick response. Well I had actually done the table connecting to a CMS. While it rendered quite well for the desktop, I am facing problem with the mobile view. Its a simple 2 column table showing elevator specs, on mobile its getting cut off and if there was a way I could simply scale down the font size it would have got solved. Any ideas?

Tables on mobile devices is a common UX/UI problem (not just related to Wix) - you’ll find many guides/tutorials etc talking about it.
I think repeater might be the way to go - but depends on the complexity of what you’re working with (alternatively, a custom element would work (with CSS Media queries for breakpoint ranges)). AI is pretty good at building these now.
Thank you…I found someone had mentioned creating two version and managing through hide/show. Its working for now…although not a pretty solution
