Question

I don’t really FEEL CSS and it doesn’t always work as I think it would.

This is one of these situations:

I have a simple (2 rows, 2 columns) asp:table generated dynamically. in the right column it contains a combo box (cell (0, 1)) and a label (cell (1,1)). When I change the combobox’s selection, the text in the label changes too. If it’s too long for a cell, it re-sizes the table. I would prefer the text to be in lines, so that it fits cell’s width.

I don’t know if it’s some label’s property that could do it or should I specify this in CSS style of a label or of a cell? i tried setting table’s width explicitly, cell’s width in CSS class but nothing works and I feel like a blind in a labyrinth.

Answer 1

<label> elements can, if you want, be set to display: block; and then given a fixed width via CSS. This may be the best solution for you.
