jQueryUI icons in table cells

I'm using jQuery UI icons in a table and they take up the size of the table cell, which is elongated horizontally.

Q: What html/css is necessary to make the icon have the same width as it's height? Here's what I have so far:

<td class="delete">
<div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-minus"></span>
</div>
</td>

If the result you are expecting is the icon wrapped in a rounded box then you have to do set the container div a width of 16px, like here:

#wanted .delete div {
    width: 16px;   
}

I don't understand. Are you sure some other CSS in your page isn't causing this problem?

jQuery UI CSS uses the background-image property to display images, and generally those images shouldn't be "taking up the size" of its parent.

I put together a quick jsFiddle with the following contents:

Dependencies:

  1. jQuery 1.5.1
  2. jQuery UI 1.8.9
  3. http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.11/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css

HTML:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td class="delete">
            <div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
                <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-minus"></span>
            </div>
        </td>
        <td class="delete">
            <div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
                <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-1-w"></span>
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<br />
<table>
    <tr>
        <td class="delete">
            <div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
                <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-minus"></span>
                Hello
            </div>
        </td>
        <td class="delete">
            <div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
                <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-1-w"></span>
                world!
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

CSS:

/* Extend the width ... */
td.delete { width: 100px;  }

And it came out looking fine in Google Chrome:

Is there a particular browser this is happening on for you? Can you provide a concrete example?

I can't tell if you want a jQuery specific answer or just a css answer. Since I don't know the former here's the latter. If you want to limit the width to known pixels and have the height adjusted so that it maintains the proper aspect ratio, a style like

img{width=32px; height= auto;}

should do the trick. Since most icons are square and of known size I would think

img{width=32px; height=32px;}

would work out too.

Not entirely sure if this is what you want, but maybe you need to set the behaviour of the div so that it does not fill 100%. Like this:

<table>
<td class="delete">
<div class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all" style="display:table">
<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-circle-minus"></span>
</div>
</td>
</table>

The div's display style is changed so that it does not scale to full width.
