pading in table cells?

hi there!!
i'm creating a website in html using a template language.
in a loop there are automaticly created table cells (<td width="80px"
height="32px">LINK TO TOPIC </td>) for each topic with the name of the topic
and the link. Unfortunately in the Browser the width of the cells isn't 80 px
but it changes due to the length of the topicname. when i increase the width to
120 the cells are all of the same size. is there a problem with the pading or
margin? thanx so much in advance!!
Cheers, dan

You need to insert a space or dash in the text to give it a place to
break so that it wraps to another line.

HTH,
Randy

i don't unterstand that! Where should i insert a dash?

Anywhere in the text - it tells the browser that it's OK to wrap the line at
that point.

isn't that non-valid.

<td width="80px" height="32px">LINK TO TOPIC </td>

No. It's valid, but deprecated.

Ahh - well, you're right.

The "px" are implicit in those attributes, and are not needed....

Gecko browsers like Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape won't break a line on
a hyphen. They need a space character.

Opera does.

And what I found recently: it also supports 'display: compact' and
'display: run-in' quite well ... FF doesn't.

Just my 2 cents

Actually, I like Opera quite a lot. If it weren't for the Web Developer
Toolbar for Firefox, I'd probably be using Opera as my browser of
choice.
