Default Dynamic Text - 08-08-2003 , 04:35 PM






I have a table set up that will have a row of text drawn from a database.
That text is very long - memo field. When I view the page the dynamic text
forces the table to grow off the page instead of wrapping around within the
cell.

Can someone give me some pointers on how to get dynamic text to wrap in a
table cell?

I have looked everywhere and I cannot find an answer.

Please help.

Regards,

Sid

If you specify a size for the table cell and do not check the 'no wrap'
property, the text should wrap.

It will only wrap if there are word breaks, or hyphens in the text
that will allow it to. If the table is expanding to greater than the
browser width, that would appear to not be the case.

Thanks Guys.

I had no breaks in the text for testing. Put them in and all is well. Thank
you all for your help.

Regards,

Sid
