@CFHuttonDec 03.2009 — Lots of possible answers to your question, but a little more info would be helpful to narrow down the possible options.

The obvious answers:

  • 1. Make the table smaller.

  • 2. Make the div larger.


    • Since one can assume those aren't sufficient, you might could consider using a 'thumbnail' size picture of the table that has a 'click to enlarge' link below it, which, when clicked, opens a 'lightbox' type popup to display the table at full size.

    Also, the overflow property can be used to make the div scrollable, but that rarely seems like a good answer...

    @robertbarzykauthorDec 03.2009 — well there is more to the problem which i forgot to state before

    the table is coming from php

    this isnt the actual code but just an example

    echo "<table>";

    $num=1;

    echo "<tr><td>";

    while($num<100){ echo '<img src="image.jpg" height="75px" width="75px">';

    $i++

    }

    echo "</table>"; ?>


    what i want to do is after the while loop executed 9 times i want it to go to the next line.

    @CFHuttonDec 04.2009 — I'd suggest trying the php forum. I might could cobble something together but without the ability to test it, it would be an embarrassing display ?
