Help to fix the width of a column/table

[coder500]

How can I fix the width of a table?

I am using style sheet. Its content is as follows.

#leftBorder { 
height: 100%; 
width: 125px; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
padding: 0px; 

background-position: top; 
background-image: url(images/slicepx6_02.gif); 
background-repeat: repeat-y; 
} 
#rightBorder { 
height: 100%; 
width: 111px; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
padding: 0px; 

background-image: url(images/slicepx6_04.gif); 
background-repeat: repeat-y; 
} 

#maintable { 
height: 100%; 
width: 800px; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
padding: 0px; 
}

#contenttable { 
height: 100%; 
width: 564px; 
left: 0px; 
top: 0px; 
padding: 0px; 
}

But when I add more content to the column with the id "contenttable" it expands. Is there any way to fix it, so that when I add spaces and content the width remains same and the text goes to the next line automatically.

Any help please...

have you tried max-width?
