Restricting Table Size?

Question

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble in PHP. I have an html table that is filled with rows of data from a database. What I want the table to do is, when a maximum size is reached, the table data extends downwards so it doesn't run off the screen. For instance:

This:
ffffff
fffff

Instead of :

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

It works for textarea fields, but I want it to work for regular text fields. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Simply define the size of the table in pixels. This will allow you to adjust the padding and cell spacing at the same time. Although this can be done using CSS, I prefer to use simple HTML. It's easier to work with in the editor. The code will look something like this:

Answer 2

Use css: in place

Answer 3

in the css class for the TD you need to add white-space:normal;

so either style="white-space:normal;"
or

.tdClass {
white-space:normal;
}
