Preserved Topic: Table (Page 1 of 1)

this is the problem, when i have a table with width set to 50% and message is longer then 50% with no space
like this
<table width="50%>
<tr><td>kaljsdlkaskdfhasdhsdshfasdfasdfhasdjfhaklsdfkljahlsdfkjashdflkjashdflkasdhflkjasdfhlkasdfhsdløkasdflasdjlfjkasdjfjasdjlfjløkasdjfajølsd</td></tr>
</table>

the table wont change line, do you know what i can do with this problem?

This won't work unless you put a space between your string or you put <br>....as long as it's one long string the browser can't break it into different lines.

Osaires, that's how web browsers work, they will treat that as one long word and therefore wont't break it (they will extend table width instead).

So, you should either put spaces or if content that's shown in that table is pulled by some server side script, you can write a function that will automatically wrap text at specified width...

Yes this is right max, it a server side script, how do you write this cind of function, i use PHP as server language

You should use PHP's wordwrap() function. I have explained how it works in this topic: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum12/HTML/000311.html
