title: Setting the Max length in a <TD>
body: <p>I have a column where some users are not entering spaces (i.e.: .........................................) and it is stretching my TD column.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force line breaks in html with a simple option?  If not, I think I am going to have to break the line up myself, which would not be optimal, as I would have to determine the best places to break a line, and I don't want to do that.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for something that will work in the 3 main browsers (ie/firefox/safari)</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td valign="top"&gt;
      &lt;br&gt;
      &lt;strong&gt;&lt;?php echo $common-&gt;stripHtml($row['one_liner']); ?&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
      &lt;br&gt;
      &lt;hr&gt;
      &lt;?php
          if (strlen($row['self_description']) &gt; 240)
          {
              echo substr($common-&gt;stripHtml($row['self_description']), 0, 240)."... &lt;a href='viewprofile.php?i=".$row['user_id']."'&gt;more&lt;/a&gt;";
          }
          else
          {
              echo $common-&gt;stripHtml($row['self_description']);
          }
      ?&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
