Given a HTML table with some data that may be either narrower or wider than the browser window,
In the former case I know how to make it expand to fill the full width.
In the latter case, how do you make it squash (by truncating some columns, not by wordwrap) to fit within the available width?
Well, your question is difficult to answer. The easiest way I think for doing that is using Yahoo User Interface Library, it has a component (among many others) called DataTable in which you can programmatically add or remove columns. Here’s an example that may help you.
PS: Check the other components, YUI uses just javascript and some of them are really cool.
