table TD height - FIXED ?

[lvertel]

hello

 

simple question but yet impossible for me to find a solution :

 

i have a php script, that shows me data in TABLE , so in the end, i have let's say, 10 rows in 10 tables...

 

however, the data(text) inside of each text is of different size, and according to that, my TD is changing it's height.

 

I did put the td height = 100, but the text that php generates, makes the TD higher.

 

How could i make the TD height FIXED, no matter what amount of content there is in the TD??

You'll need to use CSS.

<td style="height:100px;overflow:hidden;">

The overflow:hidden attribute will hide anything larger than the element size.

Hmm, i have tried it but unfortunately it didn't work

 

Any other solution ?

Well, I've never tried the overflow on a <td> element, so maybe that's the problem. OK, try this: put a <div> inside the <td> and add that style to the div, and put your content into the div.

SOLVED!

 

 

i thought i could use the overflow : hidden with SPAN as well, but i guess on firefox it works only with DIV's ,

 

while on IE8, it works on div's and span's but no td's

 

thanks a lot for help !
