Display table in HTML within java

Question

I am able to display the table but the headers are bit misaligned and shifted to right. Can someone suggest what can be missing here.

Current o/p: (Header are misaligned)

                Server  name ID
S1 ABC 43
S2 XYZ 67

Code:

out.append("<table id=\"dtable\" class=\"tablesorter\">");
out.append("<thead>");
out.append("<tr>");
out.append("<th>Server</th>");
out.append("<th>name</th>");
out.append("<th>ID</th>");
out.append("</tr>");
out.append("</thead>");
out.append("<tbody>");

for (String s : returns) {
  String[] s2=s.split("-");

  out.append("<tr>");
  out.append("<td>");
  for(String results : s2)
  {

    out.append(results);
    out.append("&nbsp;");
  }
  out.append("</td>");
  out.append("</tr>");
} 

out.append("</table>");

Do not, under any circumstances, do this in code. You should not be creating markup in Java. Use a templating solution (e.g. FreeMarker, Mustache, JSF with JSTL, etc.) with CSS. — duffymo

it seems you are missing out.append("</tbody>"); after the end of the loop — Youcef LAIDANI

Try to add every string to separated column td like :

for (String s : returns) {
    String[] s2=s.split("-");

    out.append("<tr>");
    for(String results : s2)
    {
        out.append("<td>");
        out.append(results);
        out.append("&nbsp;");
        out.append("</td>");
    }
    out.append("</tr>");
}

Hope this helps.

Here your creating a row and closing it “s2” times please check this:

    out.append("<tr>");
    out.append("<td>");
    for (String results : s2) {

        out.append(results);
        out.append("&nbsp;");
    }
    out.append("</td>");
    out.append("</tr>");
}

And there is no tbody close tag

This section of the table displays data fine. It is only the table headers that are right aligned.

This code will leads you to the invalid HTML too.. The right way to append nested HTML elements is what you looking, you'll find it in the other answer @user7471208.
