[SOLVED] about no-spacing content

[ted_chou12]

when text such as these:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

these long word text without any spaces inbetween often causes the page to be messed up, my data is organized in <td> tags in the tables, can anyone suggest me any ideas?

and btw, how does the forum do the scroll bar thing? it prevented the data from going over the limit of the page, which my html codes are currently doing.

Thanks

Add an auto overflow, that what preventing your long non-spaced line of text breaking the layout. To add an auto overflow you'd do something like this:

<td style="overflow: auto; width: 500px;">long string of text with no breaks in here</td>

The browser should then add a scroll bar to the bottom of the table cell allowing you to scroll the content in the cell, like it does here.

 

Note some browsers do not support the overflow style attribute. AFAIK IE6 and above, FF and Opera support this.

Just put a DIV inside the TD, and put the overflow there.
