asp.net creating a table with stringbuilder, text in <td> does not wrap or break lines, runs straight off page

Question

Hi,

I have a table with width of 250 px, I am creating this table using a stringbuilder, but when I add long strings to table data, the data renders as one long line, it does not stay in table.

When I use firebug I see that the table is 250 px, but data does not wrap within it.

Help pls! thanks!

EDIT: was using whitespace:nowrap; from another CSS which was messing it all up. thx for help

Answer 1

You can prevent a table from expanding for long strings by giving it the style table-layout: fixed.

Answer 2

Hi!

Couple of things that you may try:

1. Inject a style into the td that is behaving bad: style="word-wrap:break-word;"
2. Check out the following to see if it helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1258416/word-wrap-in-a-html-table
