Hi Folks,

This is probably a fairly basic question but bear with me.

I have a HTML page containg a TABLE with 3 ROWS.

ROW 1 spans 3 COLUMNS and contains a single graphic
ROW 2 is divided into 3 COLUMNS - COLUMN 1 contains a single graphic, COLUMN 2 is a text cell and COLUMN 3 contains a single graphic.
ROW 3 spans 3 COLUMNS and contains a single graphic

My problem is that the text in ROW 2 COLUMN 2 can cause the browser to dynamically resize this COLUMN of the TABLE and consequently my graphic in COLUMN 3 is shifted out. This graphic is part of a page border and conceptually the border is broken when the TABLE cell is shifted.

Is there any way to fix the width of the text cell in ROW 2 COLUMN 2 so that the text in this wraps instead of the browser dynamically resizing the column ?

Any help would be very welcome.

Ian
