Wrapped hyperlinks in a table

Guest_imported · Jun 20, 2002

I need to display some text in a table. The text is pulled out dynamically and I do not control the contents. I do know however that it will all be links to other pages. The problem is that although I do a no wrap, the text gets split up into two at the end of the table. I do not want that to happen. I am ok with the entire link being moved to the next column. However a single link should not be split into multiple lines. I don’t know what I am missing.

I am ok with:

This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips
This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips
This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips

I am not ok with:

This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips This is an url to tek-tips

Here is the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

 

<table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">

<tr>
<td align="center" wrap="true">

<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>

</td>
</tr>

</table>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Any hints will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I did not intend to split the links when I pasted the "I am ok" part. The preview had it proper. Please ignore the "I am ok" part its the wrong. :-(

Hi,

I think this is what you want:
enclose each hyperlink with the  tags:

(BTW, try to avoid the blank lines in your code as much as possible)

<table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td align="center" >
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to a site with a much longer text</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to a site with an extremely long text to show as example that it won't wrap</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">This

is an url to tek-tips</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hope this helps,

It has been my experience that a </td> on it's own line will sometimes render the page with an extra line.

Sorry, I screwed up (twice). I reread the question after I answered it, and my post was something that really didn't address the problem. Plus I am having trouble with my internet connection being S L O W and hit the repost button a second time after 'stopping' the browser and correcting my text.

This is confusing. I have been trying for the last few minutes to give Boomerang a star for his recommendations. However I can't seem to find a link to do it.

There is another post here that says that I have to look for the hyper link "Click here to mark this post as a helpful or expert post!".. where is this?????

Tips??? Or is is that I am just in an elevated sense of duhness???

Only members can give stars, visitors can't

Members will see the link at the left-bottom corner of each post.
