How do I lock a table into staying one size horizontally?
Here is my code for the search page that works properly. THe problem is that when I search in the "keyword" column the search results explode horizontally outside my limits I've set in the table specs. I just want the results to wrap vertically.
Here is my code:

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="include/functions_inc.asp"-->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<%
searchtext = Request.Form("searchtext")
searchfield = Request.Form("searchfield")
IF searchtext = "" Then%>
<TITLE>TechLibrary V3.0</TITLE>
<%ELSE%>
<TITLE>TechLibrary V3.0 Search Results for <%=searchtext%></TITLE><%
END IF%>
<script>
//JSCRIPT
function ChangeButton(what)
{
if(what.className == ""){
what.className = "mouseover"
}else{
what.className = ""
}
}
function CheckFields()
{
if(document.frmsearch.searchfield.value==""){
alert("Please select a Category!")
document.frmsearch.searchfield.focus();
}else{
if(document.frmsearch.searchtext.value==""){
alert("Please enter some search criteria!")
document.frmsearch.searchtext.focus();
}else{
document.frmsearch.method="post"
document.frmsearch.action="docsearch.asp"
document.frmsearch.submit();
}
}
}
</script>

<SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersJS LANGUAGE=javascript>
function window_onload()
{
document.frmsearch.searchfield.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY LANGUAGE=javascript onload="return window_onload()">
<FORM ACTION="" METHOD="post" NAME="frmsearch" onSubmit="return false">
<BR>
<%IF searchtext = "" THEN%>

Try:
Code: 
<table style="table-layout:fixed">
This does not work in NS versions prior to 6 or IE versions prior to 5.
