wordwrap long links in tables - how? 2

[leegold2]

I find if I have have a long hyperlink in a table cell ( ie. in a <td> ) it will not wordwrap - it's considered a long word by html I guess. They can be pretty long and this forces all my table cells on a col. to be as long as the longest link.

Are there any tricks to make links wrap at a certain point? I'd even consider hard coding something into the link itself if necessary?

Thanks

Yes, with Javascript or some other language.

yeah, you could do something like this:

<script>
function chopLinks()
{
maxLength = 20; //the cutoff point
linkText = '';
for (x=0;x<document.links.length;x++)
{
linkText = document.links[x].innerHTML;
if (linkText.length > maxLength) 
{
document.links[x].innerHTML = linkText.slice(0,(linkText.length/2))+"<BR>"+linkText.slice((linkText.length/2),linkText.length);
}
}
}
</script>

hope that helps
