<table> <div> ?

[robertbarzyk]

i have a table within a div
the div is set to width:700px
the problem is the table exceeds the width of the div
so how can i keep it inside the div?

Lots of possible answers to your question, but a little more info would be helpful to narrow down the possible options.

The obvious answers:

1. Make the table smaller.
2. Make the div larger.

Since one can assume those aren't sufficient, you might could consider using a 'thumbnail' size picture of the table that has a 'click to enlarge' link below it, which, when clicked, opens a 'lightbox' type popup to display the table at full size.

Also, the overflow property can be used to make the div scrollable, but that rarely seems like a good answer...

well there is more to the problem which i forgot to state before

the table is coming from php

this isnt the actual code but just an example

echo "<table>";
$num=1;
echo "<tr><td>";
while($num<100){ echo '<img src="image.jpg" height="75px" width="75px">';
$i++
}
echo "</table>"; ?>


what i want to do is after the while loop executed 9 times i want it to go to the next line.

I'd suggest trying the php forum. I might could cobble something together but without the ability to test it, it would be an embarrassing display :)
