I have the following code which displays a scoreboard. I didn't write the original code, I just rearranged the table & added a few additiona elements
This will be viewed on a phone
What I want to to is make the table fit on (or even better, fill) the page
I can specify a width of, say, 95% which is fine, but on some phones that means the bottom of the table is off the page & you have to scroll.
I'd like to make it have a height of 95% too but when I change width to height at line 100 ot does make the table narrower but it's still off the page
Can someone please help me make this table adjust to fit the screen

I'd have to see the data plugged into that table to truly weigh in, but the simple fact is a lot of tabular data is not practical to show on smaller displays. Period. Do not pass go, do not collect $500 in human-malware relief.

That said, there are so many warning signs all across that code of outdate, outmoded, and even insecure practices. From innerHTML or remote content, to jQuery (sucker-bait that should never have even existed), brute force getting elements every blasted time, static scripting in the <head> where it could fail and isn't cached...

But the markup? ouch. Tags and attributes that haven't even EXISTED in HTML for 27 year? Numbered headings inside table cells? Missing opening <tr>?

I'd toss that entire mess and start over with code for this century. I'd be willing to help with that if I could see the data and page in question.

This is a project that was started by others many years ago and coded by amateurs (you can tell, right!). It's published here: https://buildyourownscoreboard.wordpress.com/ it's for a cricket scoreboard and is completely not for profit.
It's not connected to the Internet.
A Pi runs a Web server and the scorer connects to it over WiFi and has a html interface for doing the scoring.
The Pi sends the data to an Arduino which controls shift register chips that turn LEDs on & off to display the digits on the scoreboard.
I have hacked around in the code and added more variables but fundamentally it's still the original amateur code.
TBH starting again would definitely be good but it would be a huge task and I'm sure I have no idea where to start.
A zip of the whole lot is in this zip https://we.tl/t-DSQDDxgy1h but as you'll see it's a right mess. That said it does work.
You're advice would be appreciated but I'm well out of my depth rewriting it.
