Probably a simple one, but its got me stumped.
I have a '795px' wide table with a row spanned into 4 cells each set to 196px.
My Problem:
I'm importing unformatted text data from a mySQL database into each of the cells, but when it is inserted, it prints as if it was set to 'nowrap', and stretches the entire table far beyond its 'hard-coded' settings.
also, when it does that, it doesnt actually change the code..
Is there a way I can force it to stay 'fixed' and automatically <BR> the imported text?
You can see an Example here: <snip>
All help appreciated. ;o)

The only time that this happens (AFAIK) is when there are no natural 'breaks' like a space, newline or tab in the text.
If the browser thinks the text is 'all one word' it doesn't know where to break it so doesnt.
The best way to deal with it? - Tackle it before it gets to the table.

Your string lengths are to fault I *think* if the word extends any amount of reasonable chars then it will force the table to extend!
Not sure if this is what you mean or not though :(
HTH,

I knew it would be something simple.
In my search for something wrong in the code I completely overlooked the content itself.
saved!
hehe.. cheers once again.
