Dash DataTable - Unable to use more than 1 table

Hi,
I have been using the DataTable from dash-table-experiments and it looks very cool.
I have been unable to have 2 (or more) tables appear on the same line, though.
Anyone knows if this is possible?
Thanks,
Pietro

@pietroppeter - Hm, I’m not sure what’s going wrong here. Could you paste a simple reproducable example?

Hi,
thanks for the reply, I will post a simple example and in the meantime I will try to explain better.

There is probably nothing wrong with dash here, only I am unable to control the width of the table in the final html (and I have just started using the tool, so it might be I am missing something very simple). I think it is more a problem of html/css (of which I am no expert at all) than of dash, which I am liking a lot!

I will like to have two tables one next to the other in the final html (right below the chart, they represent filters through different dimensions - product, market - of sales weekly data I want to plot). I tried to add some “display: inline-block” in container divs and using bootstrap css, but each of the data table ends up always taking the full width (I admit I also tried to tweak the dash_experiments_table.css, but no luck in that too).

Hi,
I was able to solve my problem (I need to put also a width constraint in the div, not only the display:inline-block).
Now the two tables are one next to the other,as I wanted (see image).


Below is the reproducible code.

Using this code there is a weird behaviour (bug?) happening from the interaction of the 2 data tables.
In particular sometimes when clicking the “header checkbox” of the right table (the one that selects/deselects all), the click actually sets/unsets the header checkbox of the left table.
It is weird since I could not find a way to reproduce it all the time in the exact same way, but repeating the following steps I run into it sooner or later (usually in less than 5 iterations):

  • click on checkbox for product 1
  • click on checkbox for market 1
  • click on header checkbox for markets
  • if the bug happens stop (or you can repeatedly click on the market header checkbox and see the product header checkbox being set/unset), otherwise repeat the above steps.

@pietroppeter @chriddyp
I am also facing same problem, did you get any help.
I have also used data table two time in a page , the second table operations is overlapping with first, i am waiting for my luck.
