No, because I want the page to format to the window size, and if I wen't down that route I'd also have to specify the font instead of using the browser default settings. Actually part of the problem may be that I've specified conflicting requirements, namely that the table width is 90% of the window width so I can't have it both ways. The inconsistency is that if I put a long unbroken text string in the cell it will override the table and window width even if it contains non-breaking spaces. >> I've tried replacing all the spaces with but that doesn't work. >> Neither does <nobr> or <td nowrap>.

I don't want a break if there's room without it, but if the line does split I'd rather it split where there's a space and not where there's a non-breaking space. I think this is the same problem I've reported before because there's a tag next to the non-breaking space and NS will split a line at a tag regardless. -- _ |_|. _ Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ |\_||_ mailto:[email protected] Disclaimer: Please imagine about 50 lines of pointless clutter.
