Can I create a fixed dimension cell in a table? I want to dsplay a long word in a cell, but if the word is longer than the space available, I want the cell to keep it's dimension .<br />
Can somebody give me a hint?<br />

Table structures are SPECIFICALLY supposed to IGNORE any size constriction you try to place on it if it would make the content not fit in it.<br />
<br />
That is one of the many reasons your should NOT abuse <table> for general page layout.<br />
<br />
Design your page layout using CSS instead and you can set hard limits to objects widths (and even add individual scrollbars if it makes things not fit).<!--content-->
