Prevent line feed in a text form field

[Magnus]

Hi,

I have a protected form with text form fields. The problem is that if the
user isin the field and press enter, everything below this point is moving
down. I thought the form functionaliy should keep the same look of the form.
So I think that the field should not respond at all when pressing enter. How
could I get this bahavior?

Regards Magnus

The usual way to deal with this is to place the form fields inside table
cells whose dimensions are fixed.

Thanks Stefan,

I tried this, but I couldn't figure out how to create a table with a cell
whose dimensions are fixed.
How do you do this?

Hi,,

I found the row height is EXACT... so it works quite ok now.
I still get several lines if pressing enter, but the table does not expand.

If you have any tip of making the field impossible to wrap, I'll be glad,
but though, thanks for your help!

/Magnus
