    Default How do I stop a cell from extending across the page

    Hello and thankyou in advance:

    I'm about to tear my hair out.

    I have set up a dynamic table which includes a cell that holds a lot of text
    (personal profile) from my database of employees. The problem I have is the
    text doesn't flow from line to line, it just stretches accross into the future.
    I have fixed all my table width sizes on the page.

    I guess I just want to know how to make text flow from line to line and not
    expand a table or it's cell.

    Kind regards,

    Josh.

    Not exactly a DHTML question. Only things I can think are make sure your table
    sizes are pixel and not percent. Make sure you don't have "no wrap" checked in
    properties. If it's CSS text, you may need to adjust the block settings (try
    looking at float and block). Make sure you have defined the proper table. If
    you are defining cells but the whole table is not defined you might run into a
    problem.

    The easy (or hard if you have tons of rows/cols) is to reset all column widths
    on the entire table, then go in and reset them one by one making sure each cell
    is the right size and the table is restrained to your desire.

    If it's STILL not happening then something else is affecting your text. I'm
    not that advanced so good luck.
