    As Tommy said, you want to use “table-layout: fixed” in the CSS for your table.

    Then you have at least three choices for what to do with table cells that have too much content:

    1. Do nothing – they’ll keep going outside their cell.
    2. word-wrap:break-word will break in the middle of a word
    3. overflow:hidden (on the TD, not the TABLE) will cause the rest of the text to be hidden; the user can expose more by making the window wider or decreasing the font size.
