Hi Guys,

I am having major problems just trying to do a text wrap on a report
in HTMLDB. I have tried the following CSS


..td {
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
border-collapse: collapse;
[color=red]white-space: wrap;

}


where the white-space is wrap and it doesnt seem to do the job. I
have also tried changing the width of the field on the report but to
no avail. This should be a simple job but for some reason I just
can't get it to work.

Any advice would be great,
Chris

This is really a CSS/HTML issue and nothing directly related to
htmldb. Have you looked at your output with different browsers? It could
be that its something specific to the browser or browser version your
using, the fonts it uses, the screen size/resolution etc.

try other browsers, check browser configuraition and check there are not
other CSS elements affecting the formatting.

As you want specific formatting for this column, I'd recommend defining
a specific TD class e.g. TD.data. This will help to ensure your
formatting for that column only affects columns definined to use that
class and will help ensure other TD css elements don't play havoc with
what your trying to do.

Remember you need to assign class="td" to whatever element you want this
to apply. Unless you want to apply it to all <td> tags, in which case
you should remove the leading dot.

This is not valid CSS syntax, not to mention that "wrap" is not a valid
value for white-space.

HTML is designed to wrap text automatically. If it doesn't, it's because
you've added code to avoid it: find it and remove it. Also, get some
HTML and CSS documentation: typing random stuff to see whether it works
won't take you too far ;-)
