Change lines in a Table....

cybercross · October 2nd, 2004, 06:19 AM

Hi,
i really really hope you all can help me out with this problem of mine. i have been trying it for such a long time and still couldn't get it right.

well, here's my problem..... i have my data stored in my SQL as text.
content of the data is really really long. and i want to display the data into a table. my problem is, even if i set the width of the table to a certain length the length of the table exceeds the length i have set.

what i wanted is, if the content reached the end say 300px of the table length, it automatically changes line and continues to display the data in the second line.

i am using literal in the code behind to make the table, here's the code,

literal.text += ("<table width = 300><tr><td width = 100%>")
literal.text += ( rs.fields("content").value & "</td></tr></table>"

i omitted the sql command here, the "content" has a very long data in it, and i need the table to automatically change line and not exceeds the given 300 px.

can anyone tell me how to do it ??

thanks in advanced...

Hi,

That should work. It works perfect for me here. What is the browser that you use?

Try this on a plain HTML file.

Code:

<html>
<head></head>

<body>
<table width = "300" border="0">
    <tr>
        <td width = "20%">
            ettssjdalsjdlasjd adslhasdjhajsdhjas daskdhasjkdhjkasdh askdhaskd kasjdh jaskhd askdh aksjhdk asdjhaskjdh 

kjdkahskdh kasdhkjashjkdh kajkjaskhkas dk as dkaskd askhdk askd hkjashkdj haskj dkjaskjdhkjasdkjahskjdhk
        </td>
        <td width = "80%">
            ettssjdalsjdlasjd adslhasdjhajsdhjas daskdhasjkdhjkasdh askdhaskd kasjdh jaskhd askdh aksjhdk asdjhaskjdh 
kjdkahskdh kasdhkjashjkdh kajkjaskhkas dk as dkaskd askhdk askd hkjashkdj haskj dkjaskjdhkjasdkjahskjdhk

            ettssjdalsjdlasjd adslhasdjhajsdhjas daskdhasjkdhjkasdh askdhaskd kasjdh jaskhd askdh aksjhdk asdjhaskjdh 
            <br><br>
kjdkahskdh kasdhkjashjkdh kajkjaskhkas dk as dkaskd askhdk askd hkjashkdj haskj dkjaskjdhkjasdkjahskjdhk
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

And see if that works as expected. Else it is better you post the entire code.

Also I wrapped 300 and 100% within quotes, though that doesn't make any difference.

Cheers!
