Word wrap in tables?

[Peter Goldfield]

I often make tables as a second thought then drag paragraphs into a cell to
arrange the page. If I drag a table border to reduce the width of paragraph
the text appears to wrap to the smaller size, but when I publish, and check
the browser, text seems to dissappear under the moved border - have I not
switched something on somewhere?

don't drag tables as it sets their width in px. the default behavior of a
table is to wrap the text unless you set it as nowrap.

Thanks Chris,
but I want to set the cell to a certain width, but when I do that the text
doesn't wrap anymore! It's certainly set on text wrap - something odd there?

What is the content that you are inserting into the cell?

Example, inserting a hyperlink, such as the following will not wrap:

http://www.net-sites.com/sitebuilder/newsgroups.asp

Words wider than the cell space will not break and wrap

Can you provide a URL?

Make sure you are not using any <block> or <pre> tags in your text.

Just general text Thomas,
trouble is the text appears to wrap in FP but then shows problem in browser.
eveything is OK on first placing text, but changes on reducing width of
cell/s
Any workarounds you can suggest?

Thanks for trying Thomas...
have a look at

The white table is set on a black background. It looks fine in FP. I'd like
to drag the right edge to the left to wrap say "Artist 2000" to the next
line. As you can see? the final 0 of 2000 is half cut off.

Peter,

Place the text into another nested table or add a row to the above nested
table and insert the text, then it will wrap.

Also get in the habit of not using spaces in folders or filenames.

I see the form that you want to pass the image to. In this case I can see
way you want to use JavaScript so that you can use the FP Form Handler.
However your entire site would work best to your benefit, being database
driven.

I know Thomas, I made an Access database years ago for original FP and
started to think about ASP - but got bogged down.
Fearful of starting again. I need a process. Do this first, this next and
finally do this. The details I can probably work out...
Wanna picture?
