Others have answered using the height and width attributes. Neither of these will do what you ask, if you are asking what it sounds like. Height and width will be close, however, the browser will _always_ display _all_ of the data in the cell. If the height wont fit it _will_ make it bigger. Tables cannot be clipped. If that is what you are asking. In other words, using the height and width attributes will cause the table to stay a fixed size up to the point that the data for a cell will no longer fit. (Say like the user changing the font size to 30pt) then the table will be grown (usually taller) to fit the data. The only construct that will clip in HTML is layers. Layers are not widely accepted yet and they are very complicated to program and coordinate properly. Hope this helps. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ClueIn - The Internet's FREE Community Service.
