I Said Width 100px, and I (Beep)ing Mean It!!!

[BoulderBum]

I'm having issues with a table I've created that is supposed to have columns of a fixed width. Unfortunately, the text on one line is not wrapping, so it throws the width off.

How do I work around this?

some code or a link to the page would be a good start ;-)

Some things to remember...

1st - make sure the sum of all column widths equals the specified width of your table.
2nd - don't use percentages for table/column widths if you need specific cell widths in pixels.
3rd - regardless of your specified column width, cell content can and will expand to match the content.
4th - if you don't want text to "wrap", use the nowrap attribute in the table cell
5th - every cell in at least one row must contain some kind of content - even if it's just a space (&nbsp).

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

a nice code to know:

style="width:100px;" style="height:100px;"
