Table too big for content div

Hi guys

I have a table of results which prints out to screen but there are too many columns in it so it doesnt fit within the content div that i have set. How would set it so the content div would expand to let all of the table into in??

Cheers

I'm assuming you have set a width on the containing div? That will be what causes the problem. To overcome it either set that as a min-width (using a cross browser method) or by just setting your div width to the correct div. alternatively you can format the data to fit whatever width you have set.

Also you could overflow the table's container (wrap a div around the table) so that you get a scrollable area for long tables:

Sorry for the late reply!

Pho, tried the overflow in css and does the job
