[SOLVED] Text spilling over.

[the_oliver]

Hello

 

I have two coloums, made by tables, into which i insert text.  When i do this the second table (far right) the text feed into it only goes as far as the table width, and the downwords.  However in the first table it goes over the table boundry and under the second table.  How do i stop this???? 

 

Many Thanks!

(Strange thing is that in DreamWeaver it works as it should.)

without delving too far into your problem if you look at the fist 3 declarations of the width variable you will note that the witdh assigned to a child element is actually higher than that assigned to the container...

Exactly.

 

It's like a baby being bigger than the womb. Not meant to happen.
