Hey - i have the following code
<tr>
<td width="150">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="500" class="pagination" align="center"> <?php

?></td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="150">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

The problem i am having is that sometimes the data retrieved by the php include makes the td width expand beyond 500 and distorts the look of my page.

ideally what i would like is to keep the width constant and if neccessary have the height of the row change to accomodate the extra info.
If you need me to explain more clearly then give me a shout.
any help will be greatly appreciated

For what you are looking to do I think we should take a look inside the include. I don't know if the problem can be fixed from the table alone.
