Hello, i have a problem with html.
I made this table, and when i typed in like 1000 words (just random words), the table kept expanding until it couldnt anymore. How would you fix this? I want the table to be one width, that way it won't expand like it does now. Please Help. I've tried a few things, but it won't work.

I did, i wrote this:

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="454">

and of course ended it with the </table> tag. It doesnt work.

might be seem a silly question but did you put any spaces between these words.

if you did and it doesn't work, post your url.

No i mean the words you typed into the table. If you just typed words consecutively without spaces the table would just extend itself to fit round what you typed.
