asp.net : tables ;-(
Hello,
I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table. I have been using Visual Studio C# 2005. Basically, the table has certain column widths to start out with. When data is added to it (and the size of the column is too small), the data (in this case text) in the column wraps ;-/ How can I keep the data from wrapping? What would be nice is if no wrapping to place at all and to just be able to adjust the size of columns manually. You know - where you place the cursor on the boundary of the column, the cursor changes and then you can lengthen or shorten the width of the column in order to see more (or less) data. So, in a nutshell, I would like for the column widths (as well as the table length and width) to remain the same size as did from the start. Adjustment of column widths would take place only when using the mouse ;-) How can I do this? TIA
Try style rule table-layout:fixed;

A user might use a different browser, have different installed fonts or uses by default a font with a different size -> gone is your careful layout! Hans Kesting
Im guessing here, but if you think about what the system would need to do in
order to assess the column width Its unlikely that it is going to do it for you. In order to assess the column with of any column, one would have to loop through each cell and get the context, font and size and then measure this graphically; For each iteration, one would need to adjust the column width for each lager than previous cell until the end were reached. If there is no automatic way of doing this then you would have to do this manually with code. Other comments ? Mr N.

set absolute width and overflow style for each td's content, so it can honor
the width. you would need to write client code to resize the table column widths (adjust the content widths). <table border=1> <tr> <td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this fits</div></td> <td nowrap><div style="width:40;overflow:hidden">this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx doesn't fit</div></td> </tr> </table> -- bruce (sqlwork.com) [quoted text, click to view] "milkyway" <d0mufasa@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:1127803098.346775.281760@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > Hello, > > I am trying to stop some behavior going on with a table.

Thanks to all for the responses ;-)

You could easily ammend this code to suit your table control.
