Thanks for replying..

I have set
style="table-layout:fixed; "

but under the cell:

<td ><div style="width:250px;
overflow:visible"><%=rs("title")%></div></td>

The contents of the cell overflows to other areas. i want it to be able to
be trapped in the div cell...if the contents hits the edge of the cell, it
will automatically be bring down to the next line...as if there is a line
break
