I am having problems with cells that have long data with no spaces to break
on and was curious as to how others solve this problem.
I have the following file that I took from my view source of my page.
I have a table that has 5 cells of defined lengths
(50px,50px,50px,50px,200px)
Normally, the table is correct and displays fine. If the data is too long
it wraps to the next line, which is fine.
The problem is when I am using an email where there are no spaces in the
text for the program to break on.
This causes the table to increase the size of the Email cell and all the
other cells are decreased proportionally.
I can substring the data to smaller length but then you lose part of the
email if a person happens to have a very long email name.
Here is an example of the file and table:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>:: Stw1::</title>
</head>
<body id="myBody">
<br><br>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" rules="all" border="1" id="_ctl1"
style="color:Black;background-color:Beige;width:600px;border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr style="background-color:Brown;">
<td style="width:100px;">UserID</td>
<td style="width:100px;">FirstName</td>
<td style="width:100px;">LastName</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Title</td>
<td style="width:200px;">Email</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:100px;">152</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Tom</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Lawrence</td>
<td style="width:100px;">CTO1</td>
<td style="width:200px;">tlawrence@ftsw2.com</td>
</tr>
<tr style="background-color:Gainsboro;">
<td style="width:100px;">154</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Brandon</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Franklin</td>
<td style="width:100px;">Owner</td>
<td
style="width:200px;">brandonlFranklinfromtesting@sprint.blackberry.net</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
As you can see the last <td> is the problem. This normally doesn't happen,
but every once and a while it does and messes up the table.
Thanks,
Tom
