Chip -

There are three ways to do this. The first is just to have the text and hyperlink in a row with column span set to 5 (as per your diagram). Then it is still in the table and the columns are the same columns. The other way is to build the table using div's using the display css property (display:table-row, etc.). With div's your tables are really easy to control and position, just a little odd to work with in WOBuilder if you use it. The last way is to put your text in a div in the cell and use the css overflow parameter to control the text. (I don't think that overflow works with TD, but that could be a fourth way.)

I have two separate tables on one webobjects page with the following appearance:

Table 1
__________________
|___|___|___|___|___|
|___|___|___|___|___|
|___|___|___|___|___|

SOME TEXT DISPLAYED.....  SOME HYPERLINK

Table 2
__________________
|___|___|___|___|___|
|___|___|___|___|___|
|___|___|___|___|___|


I'd like matching columns of both tables to have equal width. However, when the textual contents of a cell exceed the set width, the given cell stretches to accomadate the long text. Is there an easy way to make a cell's width unchangeable? I currently have each column set as static, with a width of 110 pixels selected. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mike
