Basically I want the column widths on a table to ignore the size of the data. Excess data can be cutoff. Right now it is stretching the width of my columns even though I'm using table-layout:fixed. My expected behavior works in IE6 and 7 but not in anything else. Further if I remove my DTD then it will work just fine in IE8 but still not what I expect in FF/Chrome.

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="table-layout:fixed;overflow:hidden;">
<tr>
<td width="50">
-1,610,612,736.00
</td>
<td width="50">
222
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>33</td>
<td>44</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Basically I want to have that long negative number be on 1 line and have the overflow cut off rather then adjusting the width of the column.
thanks!
