problem with the cell of the table

Garg · Nov 23, 2007

hi,

I am having a table and i want that each cell should not change the
width and accommodate max num of char. like text-overflow : ellipsis;
overflow : hidden do for a div tag but this didn't work for td tag and
i can't put div in each cell. so is there any substitute for the 'text-
overflow : ellipsis' for td

Thanks
Garg

What the heck does this have to do with javascript?
comp.info.www.authoring.stylesheetsis that way =======>

my apology for this.
I believe that both are closely bound so if any group member knows the
solution then he can help me out.

Hello,

I agree with Greg. This question is nothing to do with this
Group. You can using the following example and try to resolve your
problem.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<style>
nobr
{
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Table
{
table-layout: fixed;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
TD
{
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</style>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<TABLE border=1 cellpading=0 cellspacing=0 width=25%>
<TR>
<TD><nobr title='This is for testing'>CELL 1: This is for
testing<nobr></TD>
<TD><nobr title='CELL 2: This is for testing'>CELL 2: This is for
testing<nobr></TD>
<TD><nobr title='CELL 3: This is for testing'>CELL 3: This is for
testing<nobr></TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
