Help with Line-break

Does one need to code a Function to insert line-breaks to display data (txt)
that consists of more than 1000 characters?

The problem I'm having right now is, that in the displaying-tabel (HTML)
displays one long line of text which I have to scroll right (horizontally)
even though I assigned the table-width to 600 pix (not in percent).

What's the easiest way to do this? Please help!
Big Thanks!!!
Sam

This is basically an html/css question which would be better handled in an
html group. Just because you might be using asp to write the data into the
html doesn't make it any less an html question (note that you did not
mention asp once in the posing of your question).

I'd like to help, but I'm not enough of an html expert to do so. Try a more
appropriate group.

I apologize for not mentioning ASP. Just a newbie...

I shall check out CSS a bit deeper to see whether I could format the text
display in a table that way without having to code it in either JavaScript
or VBScript. With embedded ASP in mind.

Thank you for answering

No need to apologize for that. I brought that up to illustrate that you
weren't having an asp problem, that's all.

In fact, you have no reason to apologize at all. I was not upset that you
had posted the problem here. I was simply trying to advise you of a better
way to get help for this problem.
