td growing with text :(

[JKPeus]

hi all.

I have a problem with a td that I want to have a size of 100. I'm using css for this.
the problem is if the text that is in the td is larger than 100 the td will grow as big as the text is.

for example if the text is this :
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

than the td will have that size and I want it to have a fixed size.

I also dont want the text to creat new paragrafs so I'm using white-space:nowrap; in the css.

can someone help me?
thanks in advance.

Try using either this:

<table style="table-layout:fixed;">
   <tr>
      <td style="width:100px;">
...

or this:

<table>
   <tr>
      <td style="width:100px; overflow:hidden;">
...

or a combination of the both:

<table style="table-layout:fixed;">
   <tr>
      <td style="width:100px; overflow:hidden;">
...

Hope this helps,
Dan
