Hi remember me? i wanted to know how to make the text automatically go to the next line if it doesn't fit, instead of making the table bigger, well i still have that problem and now i found i site to show you what I mean:
http://www.free-scripts.net/
Get rid of the pop-up window and you see where the long list of updates are?
and notice that there is a cell of links both to the left and to the right, and when you look at the source code there is no BR tags where the updates are, and the text does not break unless you put TEXT WRAP on in Notepad... anyway
i wanna know what code to use so that text automatically goes to the next line instead of stretching the table to fit. I hope you get my question and i hope my question gets answered before i turn 13. (I won't be here then, I'll be in Florida...)

Hi ianrules,

If you nest your tables with the 1 on the outside with the width that you want to devote on the page and the inner table should be set to 100%.. the text will wrap instead of stretching the table to fit the text.. some thing like

Untitled

now if I type stuff here does it break the line at 50% percent or does it
stretch the table? doess anything cause this cell to grow beyond the 50% I have
allowed for it?

Hope This Helps Wink

I think the opposite also works -

Use nested tables and set the inner table with the fixed width. It works in IE anyway, haven't checked in other browsers.
