Hi!
I have a code that generates the table with 6 columns, and 6 textfields. Textfields are used to filter the table, and they are assigned to columns. Everything works normally, but looks badly. Attached you will find a picture to see what I mean. I don't like that textfields and table columns have different sizes. How could I make them looking more accurately? I was thinking about making a second table with 6 columns, 1 row and invisible header instead of 6 textfields. However, I'm not sure that such solution would be the optimal one. Any ideas?
This is the code:
