text adjusting table width

[farscape2]

I have a table that I want to remain at a fixed width (I do not have it set to
%), and I have 2 colums, the leftmost column being a sidebar, and a larger
column to the right of that one for mainbody text. When I add the mainbody
text, it changes the size of the sidebar column, does not wordwrap inside the
cell, and will extend the width of the entire table if do not use hard returns
to create a new line. Is there a way to get the text to wordwrap inside the
cell, and keep it from adjusting the width of any portion of the table?

Are you entering a long string of unbroken text (i.e., no spaces)? If so,
then no, there's no way to prevent HTML tables from expanding to contain
your content.
