Tables and text

[Adam Honek]

Hello,

This might be one of the most simple questions ever asked but it's
nevertherless something really helpful to me.

It Frontpage or any HTML editor lets suppose we have a web-site
built within a table and thus cells.

Within these some text must go in.

My question is how does one stop the text expanding the cell it's
entered in if its line length exceeds the width of the cell?

I suppose there is some HTML code or Javascript which keeps
this in order within design and preview views?

P.S Is there any good site with such info and similar on it?

Many thanks,
Adam

You need to set the cells of the tables to a fixed size,
either in pixels or percentage.
Here's an article that shows basic page layout using
tables.

That's the problem this doesn't help.

It I type within the cells and exceed say the width of 440 pixels
it will simply expand the cell width wise instead of moving the cursor
to a new line below what's being typed.

This obviously ruins the design.

Thanks,
Adam

I'm not an expert Adam but it seems that in Front Page that if teh table is set in % instead of pixels- for example table width 100% and if you are using 2 columns or cells each being a percentage of teh table row(i.e. 50%-50% when you have 1 row, 2 columns) then teh script should wrap itself and stay with in teh bounderies of the 50% table-at least that has been my experience.
