text in tables

Can somebody tell me how I can fix the tables so that they wont move when I'm
typing inside of it. I need to enter some text but the right side of the
table gets wider as I type.

That's how HTML tables work. They flex to contain what you put in them.

If you are entering long strings of characters into a cell, and that string
has no spaces in it, then the table will get as wide as the string.

So there's absolutly no way to fix it?

If you set the table's width to a fixed number of pixels, and don't have any
"unbreakable" text strings, the table should stay at the set pixel width and
the text will wrap.

There's one way - learn how to use HTML tables so that this doesn't happen.
That's not a flip remark, but it's not a short answer or a snippet of code,
either.

What is it you are trying to do, please?
