table cell size gets thrown out when adding a form /text

butifaro · Feb 20, 2006

Hi there

I am using adobe imageready to creat slices for a web page in dreamweaver8.
When in dreamweaver it all looks great until adding a part of a form to a cell. The cell changes size and it throws the whole size of the other cells out.

what is happening and how can i keep the cells the size i have created them in the first place?
I have made sure that the text etc does fit in the size of the cell

cna anyone help?

thanks

Maybe try setting the overflow value on the cells that you're having problems with. If you know that the text fits then this shouldn't be a problem.

Code:

<body>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
td {
   width:20px;
   [!]overflow:hidden;[/!]
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
   <tr>
      <td>blahblahblahblahblahblahblah</td>
      <td>this is a test</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>to ensure that the overflow</td>
      <td>works just fine</td>
   </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
