Displaying a variable and constraing the porportion of it

[timmah1]

I hope the subject makes sense.

 

I'm having  problem that when when someone updates their stuff, especially like a bio, and don't use the enter key, what they type out is all on one line and when the information is displayed on their page, it stretches the whole page.

 

I'm tried  to do this

<table width="250" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
                  <tr>
                    <td><? echo "$row[about]"; ?></td>
                    </tr>
                </table>

But that does nothing.

 

How can I keep what was typed in porportion to the box that it's in?

You might try using wordwrap.

That works perfect!

Thank you so much
