Default Problems with nested tables.... - 10-11-2005 , 03:16 PM






I'm working with nested tables and I'm having some issues where the text will
not wrap down to the next line. It simply goes on and on with one straight
line of text unless I put in a line break of some sort.

Other pages, which I thought I had setup exaclty the same, are working fine.
I have one large table (1 row, 1 column) which is centered and holds the rest
of the page within it. There are other tables within this large table where
I've set widths and everything, but again, it doesn't wrap down correctly.

Any idea why this would be happening? Any info would be great. Thanks!

Ok, I just found this link:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/sedu/webforum/resources/tables/index.php

Which shows that there's a check box in the properties of a table called No
Wrap. Obviously, it says if this is ticked then the text will stay on one line
and the table cell will change to accomodate it. This is exactly what's
happening, but I don't see that check box anywhere in my Dreaweaver! I'm using
DW8.

Thanks!

alrighty, when I select the TABLE, the No Wrap box doesn't show, but when I select the TR or TD cell, it does show up. Thing is...it's not checked!

The text must have a place where the browser can break it. Do you have
any spaces in the text?
