Then break the long text, as your Subject line says. :-)

If you really want to hide the rest of the text, add
table { table-layout: fixed; }

If you want it scrollable, you also need to use <td><div
class="longtext">...</div></td> with
..longtext { overflow: scroll; }
(Due to IE bug, it does not help to set overflow on td directly.)

But why don't you break the text?

> </TD>

This isn't your real example, is it? If you posted the URL of a real
example, I'm pretty sure we could find a solution rather than a way to
create a new problem.
