table cell too large

[brem13]

hey, i'm calling some text back from a database and i noticed a problem. If someone puts a lot of characters in a row ie(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfkljsadjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjlassssssssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll), its causing the table cell to get longer and longer and longer. is there some code that will make it do a line break so it doesnt make my 500px wide table cell 15000px long?? anyone understand what im sorta saying?

Add a class to the cell and use this CSS:

 

td.cell {
  max-width: 100px;
  word-wrap: break-word;
}

 

You can make the cell width any value you like.

or just break the long string using  'nl2br' function.
