ok. so im trying to develop a set/fixed width for my table. the height works fine. so im really confused, also the table keeps moving the more text i put in. how to set a fixed width?. i have it set as follows:

<TABLE BORDER=”1″ BORDERCOLOR=”#000000″ CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=2>
<TR VALIGN=”TOP”>
<TD ALIGN=LEFT width=100 HEIGHT=700><font face=”verdana, arial” size=”2″ color=”#000000″>

</TR>
</TABLE>

Add the width to the Table tags

@FangAug 03.2010 — Wrap the text in a <p> element and apply the style with CSS, not with <font>, which is depreciated.

Use Lorem Ipsum for testing not random number strings.

Have you tried writing in that table rather than just one continuous string, so put words in it with spaces between the words?

@tarielleAug 03.2010 — I had the same problem once, I however found out that the problem was that I had to many <td> in a row so when I shorted them and made like 3-4 td rows the width worked as it should
