How to lock the width of a TD indipendently from text?

[Giulietta Blumarine]

Hi!
I have a table with width="200".
In this table I have a td in which I show a text.
If this text is too long and all attached(for example: GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG), this text goes beyond table width and exceeds 200.
How to force and lock the width=200, sending the text down to head?
Thanks!!!

I do not believe that you can do anything like that in the browsers using the td element.

You might try embedding a <div> in the td and using the width, overflow and/or clip CSS rules to obtain the behavior that you want.

Hi!
I have tried div style="width:100px;" inside the TD but nothing....
There is some other CSS rule?

Thanks

Try this
style='width:400;text-wrap;word-wrap: break-word;'

[Liu Zhixiang]

table { table-layout:fixed;}
td { text-overflow:ellipsis;overflow:hidden;white-space: nowrap;padding; }

add in your stylesheet.

ou ,ye
you can control the td's width. ((IE ONLY))





text-overflow:ellipsis|clip; ellipsis:“…” clip:there is no "…"
