How to constrain the height of a dynamic table
Hello,
I'm having a bit of trouble keeping a table at a fixed height. What I have is a Small 200x80px table above my an input form. As users type data into the input form, javascript code dynamicly updates the contents of the table. I have the table width properly fixed, and the input fields have character limitations... however if a user inputs a lot of capital letters or other wide characters, the table automatically increases in height when the text wraps. It's pretty much neccessary that the text wraps for the middle lines of the table, and on the other two lines I have used the javascript to remove wrapping, but I never want the table to grow longer than 80px no matter how much is typed in the fields. Is there a way that I can constrain the table height? Thanks in advance!

Re: How to constrain the height of a dynamic table
CSS would help you with that. Maybe overflow: hidden?

Re: How to constrain the height of a dynamic table
Hi,
Thanks for the reply! I'm already using overflow: hidden in my stylesheet, and it's doing a fine job of hiding the horizontal overflow. It doesn't seem to effect the vertical overflow, but I'm looking for that exact same effect. Do you have any ideas on ways to do this? Thanks again!

Re: How to constrain the height of a dynamic table
you'll have to specify the height to cause verticle overflow
