Fixed Width Cell and Text Wrapping

[KingofSnake]

Alright....I have come across a problem.

I have made a table like I wanted, shown here:

http://www.intotheblood.f2s.com/extra/tt2.html

However, when I add lots of text in the "D" cell, instead of the text wrapping to the next line, the table becomes distorted and loses its width values. You can see an example here:

http://www.intotheblood.f2s.com/extra/tt2b.html

I awlays thought that if you defined the width values in a cell, then the cell would awalys keep that size and shape. But apparently not. Can anyone help me?

This can help:

<td width=150 rowspan=3>
<div style=&quot;width:150px; height:90px; overflow:hidden&quot;>
TextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextTextText
</div>
</td>

But the overflow of longs words is hidden now. If you'll see everything but still have the cell fixed, try
overflow:scroll or overflow:auto if you don't mind the scrolling bars.

I'm not sure if all NN-browser will do scroll or auto

I tried inserting a table in cell D, but that didn't work. The same thing happened.

Sorry, I didn't see your post ErikL.

I think I have made a major goof here. This is very embarissing, and I deserve all the laughter you can dish out at me.

When testing the cell using &quot;ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd&quot; the table streches. However, testing the cell using &quot;ddddd dddddd ddddd word word word TEXTTEXT text&quot; (etc), the cell stays where I want it. I'm not using any long strings like &quot;dddddddddddddddddddddddd&quot; in the cell, so I don't know why in heck I tested this out with such a string.

My face is red, but I know I'm not the only one to complety screw something up. It happens to the best of us. I think.

In my opinion there are no stupid questions!! Everyone has sometimes a black out, don't worry !!

And another thing: You better take WRONG decisions then NO decissions!
