I have a great looking PSD but when I slice it up and save for the web, if the main content table cell had too much text, the whole site will begin to look terrible. It begins to break up.

Is there a way to slice this up where the main table cell can have any amount of text and still maintain the look of the site??

Here's the link to the PSD:


Thanks a lot!

Short answer: no. If you add a bunch of text, when it wraps it is going to stretch out the cell in regular HTML. You could create static dimensioned cells with CSS but large amounts of text will wrap past the bottom of the cell.

Since this site looks like it will be database driven (i hope) you could just add a function to crop the text after a certain number of characters and drop in the "read more..." link. You'd use ASP or PHP, I suggest those forums.
