title: How to make a table with no wrap and no horizontal scroll
body: <p>I have a table with 8 columns. And the 3rd and 4th columns may have very long texts in it. This situation creates a horizontal scroll. What I want is that I want every column to have a fixed size, and I don't want the text inside columns to be wrapped and also don't want to have scroll bar. So if a column has a very long string for example "abcdefghijklmnop" it should show as much as possible without wrapping and without creating a scroll. So the text seen on the table may be something like "abcdefg"</p>
  
  <p>Actually I am trying to do this in Eclipse BIRT, but it would be adequate if I can learn how to make this in html and CSS. Then I can adopt it to BIRT. By the way I don't want to check the size of the text with Javascript.</p>
