Hey!<br />
<br />
I'm not very experienced in html, or computers for that fact, but I was just messing around making templates when I noticed this, and I donn't know how to fix it.<br />
<br />
I've set pixel lengths, percentages, and someone told me about nowrap, but that didn't work.<br />
<br />
Basicially I want the text to go on a different line when it reaches the table length I've set, not carry on and stretch it all.<br />
<br />
Screenshots:<br />
<br />
Normal:<br />

C.<!--content-->Contary to popular belief, table sizes fixed by pixel sizes are only a guide for the overall layout. As long as everything fits inside your fixed size tables you should have no problems. The reason your table is stretching is because the text has no non breaking spaces. I would have thought in the normal use of your table this would not be a problem.<!--content-->hang on there, a table will break text at the tables set width, but only if the text is not all one line. it doesn't know how to break the code like that. you have to have breaks in there so the table will break it at the desired width.<!--content-->I do belive that is what I just said.<!--content-->I would have thought in the normal use of your table this would not be a problem<br />
I was just letting you know as well you were right
