I have been having this issue for a long time now and i keep getting 100 different answers


I am trying to make a CELL in a table that is non expandable...meaning it has a "CERTAIN" width and height

i have tried CSS and DIV and offset....none of them work

can someone please point me in the right direction or show some examples

By CSS, I'm assuming you've done:

Code: Select all

style = "width:100px;height:100px;"

Have you tried:

Code: Select all

<td width="100" height="100">
I know that's not the proper way to do that, but if nothing else has worked....


Posting your code might help you get a better answer.

That doesn't work either

Code: Select all

<table border="1" width="14%" id="table1">
	<tr>
		<td width="100" height="100">This is a test to see how wide the table cell can get<p>ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd</p></td>
	</tr>
</table>
as you can see...all the "dddd" have the cell going crazy

any suggestions?

If it's like that - a solid string of characters, you are NEVER going to get the cell to be narrower than that string. If you put some spaces in there, it should work fine.

What about IMAGES?

I can get away with adding spaces in there with solid strings...

how about images?

how can i get away with that?

if someone adds a image thata REALLY wider than the cell

how do i get away with that

You could try fiddling with the overflow property - see what that does.
