[Resolved] Display Problems

[miles_rich]

I have a form which takes in a string through a textarea, if the user just keys in word after word, without hitting the return key anywhere in the string then when it is passed and displayed in a table the table width goes off the page, even though it is set to 80%. Is this because the string is too long? if it is how to i fix it so that the text doesnt change the tables dimentions??

Does anyone have an idea?

Sounds like it's either an HTML problem (normal text does wrap when needed, unlessitcontainsareallylongwordwithoutanywhitespaceatall) - this post is an example (I haven't hit return yet). Or it's being displayed as preformatted text, in which case you could look at using [man]wordwrap[/man] to break it into shorter pieces.

i rebooted the server and it was fine after that, a bug in apache maybe???

Thankyou Weedpacket you php god!
