Table & html

Shaye87 · 23 Mar 2011 at 22:22

i have an html page which is (without the side background etc) 350 pixels wide, i've placed a table in it - now my problem is - when i enter text into the table's fields, it gets wider and wider and thus not looking good on the page. i want it to extend vertically and not horizontally as it does now...

any ideas?

the table code: (more or less)

<table width="330" height="343" border="1">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>

<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>

</tr>
<tr>

Set a width on the TDs.

<td width="">

I hope you're putting tabular data in that table and not building a website out of it

If you figure out how to put a CSS file in there you can just do this in the CSS file.
table td { width: #px; }

OR

Put this inbetween your <head> tags

<style type="text/css">
table td { width: #px; }
</style>
