Maybe experiment with adding "word-break: break-word;" to your css? I'm not sure if this is best practice, or if there are any side effects or browser incompatibilities though...
Wow... You work fast... Maybe a bit too fast, because I already see some issues with words that are broken half way through...
Look at "nice" in Mystik86's posting. Probably a side effect, like I mentioned. I was assuming this did not happen with break-word, only with break-all...

Hear hear. In fact no good deed goes unpunished, so I'm just hoping this will be the exception...
Thanks for looking out for me though Mystik...
Upon closer inspection you are using "break-all"... Any reason for not using "break-word"?

------------ I'm curious as to why you do that in the ASP and not the CSS. But then, I wouldn't really know haha.
------------ I would have thought in the ASP when you're generating the HTML <TD> tags, you would just use an ID / class attribute and then load everything else into the CSS everything I've learn't is wrong!! haha

Nope, you're quite correct... Stop unlearning good things!!!

... and to a very good suggestion as well
See, the "karma-thumbs-up-points" are already rolling in...
Btw. for those who do not know what this topic was about, see the attached picture; this is how it would look without the change (notice the scrollbar, and how a single very long word stretches the entire thing)...

Read the topic but had no idea what you were talking about till i saw jess's screenshot. I have posted in such threads and saw that outcome. I have even asked once why this is happening, but got no answers back then
