In standard a table wraps your text. You could try to add a the following
CSS class to the cell (td- element of the table), that should not wrap its
text.
.no-wrap {
white-space: nowrap;
}
In the following example- HTML the text is not breaking although the table
has a width of 100px. The Table's width will grow up.
<table class="non-wrapping-table"width="100px" border="1">
<tr>
<td class="no-wrap">
to long text, to long text, to long text, to long text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
If you want to say, that the complete table should not wraps its text you
can do it with CSS, instead of adding the no-wrap CSS class to each td
element.
.non-wrapping-table tr td {
white-space: nowrap;
}
hope that will help...
