Hi,
I'm working on a site at the moment that has a table of fixed width of 500 with two fixed width columns of 200 and 300 respectively. My problem is that the 300 column will contain some dynamic text with the possibility that the text will become very long.
IE seems to handle long text fine, the text wraps making the table long but the same width. Firefox however expands the table width to fill the screen and squashes the other column to try and get the content in.
Is there any code I can put in to stop firefox doing this? I really dont mind how long the table gets, as long as it doesnt get any wider.
ThanksThe problem isn't Firefox. The problem is IE improperly handling your long text. But I've never used tables for layout so someone else will have to help you fix IE.Ok, but I do need it to look like it does in IE. What is IE doing that's wrong?We can't tell what's going wrong unless we see all relevant HTML and CSS.
