Tables Question

[WarrenW]

Hi,

I'm hoping there is a solution to my problem.

I'm setting a table with at 90% and it works out great for what I need. My VB program is creating the table actually. And whats happening is sometimes the data going in the table has a line that has no spaces and causes the table to go wider than 90%. It forces it to be wider than I want since it does not wrap with no spaces in it. I know I can count the characters in the line going in and insert a space if its so long. Is there any html coding to force it to wrap instead?

Thanks!

if you are giving your input form vb.. why not check the length of the words in vb.? if a word is to long add a space. the past it to the html page.

much easier..

I think that the way you are doing it is the correct way. Some browsers, I think, will wrap it while others will display it in one long line.

I think that bekkel has a point. It would be much easier to count the characters in the string and add a space... Actually I'd do something more like adding "<br>" instead of a space. That way you are a little more in control of the layout.

Try setting your table up like this and see if it works:

<table style="table-layout: fixed; width: 90%;">
    <!-- blah blah -->
</table>
